According to Starbase FAQ:
Quote:

Another weird situation is that if race B shows up and everyone has set everyone to friend but your default order is to "attack everyone" (which matters for your starbase) than the two friends will shoot each other while your starbase (again none of your ships present) sits back and watches ...

There is a situation where SB can force two allyers to attack each other.

Well, I just messed up with such behaviour:
1) PlayerA and PlayerB are allyers, they are "Friends" to each other.
2) PlayerC is an "Enemy" to both of them and vice versa.
3) FleetA + FleetB orbiting PlanetC, with no SB on it
3) FleetA + FleetB ("Default") battleplan is "Armed Ships, Any, Maximise damage ratio, Enemy"
4) PlayerC "Default" battleplan is set to "Armed Ships, Any, Maximise damage ratio, AttackB"
5) When PlayerC up a SB (OF with 1XRay will be enough) on that planet, battle started where FleetA and FleetB firstly fight with SB then with each other.

This situation (or close enough) described in Starbase FAQ. Also there is a thread where close enough description present (Actually I'm not sure if it's the same situation or not?). But there are no such description in the Known Bugs.

The question is: does all that mean that such situation treated as a feature (not a bug) by Stars! society? If answer is no, then why it's not described in the Known Bugs? If answer is yes, then could someone explain me, please, what the idea of this behaviour is? I completely messed up with it, because it seems that I can force two allyers, which attack my planet, to fight with each other ... Laughing

PS: It's deeply past midnight my local time ... so may be I just sitting too long with my PC. Sleeping
