I have a battle where my vessels did not fire in the expected order - It did not change the outcome of that battle, but it could change the outcome of other battles if it happens again. The vessels involved are:

13 Nubians with base initiative of 63 and MDs, for a final initiative of 69.

Death Star with base initiative of 63 and Armageddons, for a final initiative of 66.

A number of additional ships with poorer initiative, some of them belonging to an ally of mine.

2 Enemy chaff (no other enemy ships).

The Nubians did not fire, though the enemy chaff was in range, and it seems to me that the Nubians should have fired, leaving no targets for the Death Star to fire on.

In this battle it did not make any difference, 64 Armageddons at each of the 2 enemy chaff killed them, but if there had been hundreds of enemy chaff along with other warships, then it would have made a difference, as the Nubians could kill about 1200 chaff in a volley, while the Death Star can only fire 128 Armageddons, which I would of course prefer hit something more solid than chaff.

The battle orders were attack enemies, primary target armed ships, secondary target any, so there was no reason in the battle orders for the Nubians not to fire on those enemy chaff.

Has anyone seen that kind of behaviour before, and can anyone explain why that happened ?

I can e-mail the game files to any trustworthy neutral party for examination if desired, but I obviously do not want the game files and game password to end up in the hands of my enemies in that game - They seem to have enough of an advantage already.
