It is a game with 5 players. We experiences strange things happening with our combats. At the beginning of the game everything was ok. The first sign was a crash of stars in the VCR – two frigates had a combat, visible in the battle overview where all ships survived. Trying to watch this combat in the VCR crashes stars before you can even see the battle map. This bug remains several turns until the situation change (1 more ship arrived). A couple of turns later the problem appeared that a space dock and frigate (same type as involved in VCR crash) had a combat. There the VCR did not crash but the frig did not move. Again changing the odds made the combat happen. We thought is was connected to frigate but it wasn’t. Yet a fleet of ships attacked a base. The base had the range advantage due to Torpedoes and the higher iniative but never fired. It was killed by some beam weapon ships without fire a single shoot!
Do anybody know this bug and possibly how to solve it? Confused

Did you have battle orders disengage/disengage/maximize damage? This causes ships to stand still and not fire.

For the fight Frigatte vs. Base I don't know. I guess default.
But how does this explain that the base did not fire. As far I know there is no battleplan for a base.

If the players in the game in question are willing to send me the relevent turn files and their passwords, I will be happy to investigate this for them. Please be advised that this must be done very soon or it will have to wait until the end of June since I will leave for Bulgaria for one week on the 19th of June

Though we often ask how and why, we must also do to get the answers to the questions.
