Is there a non-participant player at the location?

the chaff didn't attack each other and all the ships had default battle orders.
iirc, to trigger it a ship has to have specific player attack orders?

joseph wrote on Tue, 24 July 2012 06:34Were your ships unarmed?
It looks like the setup for a 3 player fight, plus your ships.
Also did anyone attack your ships as part of the battle?
in the above jpg, the top left corner ships were unarmed rouges and privs.
the base was an empty base.
the bottom left ship was a chaff, while the bottom right was a scout.
top left was enemy to remaining 3, the other 3 were all allied to each other.
As bystander pointed out earlier, the number of participants as per the battle report were 3, not 4.

Were there any other ships present at the colony but not involved in the battle i.e. friend to everyone?

Here's my idea,
First off, it's useful to know that there is only one armed ship present and a unarmed space dock, also that players 1, 2 & 3 are Friends.
It appears that the battleboard was setup for 3 players as players 1, 2 and 3 (in player order) are in the correct position for 3 players and then the 4th player was put into the first empty position the computer came to, ie position 1, second down second in.
I recreated it in a test bed and I got the same starting postions as show above.
I changed it so that player 3 was no longer friends with anyone and I got the standard 4 player board. ie. Player 1 & 2 are friends, 3 & 4 have no friends.
Next I change it to Player 1 & 3 and 1 & 2 are friends. Players 2 & 3 are enemies and 4 is enemies of everyone and I got the starting positions show above again.
And that's all the time I have right now.
Little Eddie
Edit: when I have time I will check
Adding weapons to the Dock
Play around with the Friends some more.
