Recently I've seen this in the Stars!-message box:

Quote:

A battle took place at ***. You destroyed the *** Starter Colony killing 588000 of their colonists in the bargain.

It took me quite a while until I suddenly thought: "Eh, wait... how many colonists lived in that starter colony?

Is it a bug?

Can the AR player (or the host) confirm these numbers? Sherlock

So many Stars, so few Missiles!

That is called deception... Wink

The report shows the base name (which you now know). So, create a Death Star, and call it a "Starter Colony". Every Death Star out there will show up as a "Starter Colony" now.

Same reason I sometimes call my BB's "Destroyer". If you have seen the design, it will show the name of the ship, not the class, and you may miss count how many BB's I have...

As AR you can cram as many cols as you like in a fort. The AR might have good reasons to do so ... Don't see why it should be a bug.

{Edit} It's only twice of what fits in a fort ... Unless you made typo and the number is much higher?

Good guess.
In this case, though, it was really a starter colony... my pilots got visual confirmation.

Of course, that's the answere.
I had completly forgotten that ARs can overpop their orbitals like other PRTs can overpop their planets.
