Something odd I noticed in ship combat last night. (BUG?)

from Stardock Forums
I would have a stack of about 4-8 (non combat) transports going in to an enemy world, and they'd face an attack by an enemy Dread or BB. The BB would *inevitably* end up destroyed, taking usually only 1 transport with it.

This happened to me about 6 times, not enough for me to think to exploit it and test it for "bug" quality, but enough that I began to wonder if anything was up.

Anyone else noticethis? Is it a bug?

Just had this happen again- a Yor Battle Cruiser just destroyed my Freighter this time- AND died itself. It was an undamaged Battle Cruiser prior to that.

This seems like some sort of bug to me. A 1HP ship with 0 DEF killing a Battle Cruiser!?!?

Nah, its suicide bombers who snuck into the warp core. Yet another reason to barcode all citizens to keep track of them!

Is it at all possible that you had some off/def modules on a nearby starbase? I havent seen this phenomena just yet.

No, in fact I had only offensive mods on the starbase two sectors away. You telling me this has happened to no one else yet? I suppose it could just be damn luck, but... I just don't want the AI facing any bad odds.
