SE5 v1.35 retreat

Submitted by hslahman on Wed, 2007-06-27 10:54. Technical Support

I attack a planet having 1 destroyer defending with a fleet of several larger ships with big tech advantages. My fleet always retreats immediately with no losses.

I tried setting Retreat When to Never, but it still retreats. I tried various combinations of fleet armament (e.g., all missles, all direct fire). The only cargo on the planet are some Troops. All strategies (ships and fleet) are Optimal Range.

It's a light cruiser armed with missles. I've tried various combinations od ships in the fleet; nothing works.

Ordnance? Supplies? If they are zero, I'm sure that would cause a retreat. Correct me if I'm wrong here.

Plenty of ordinance and supplies.

Assume this is simultaneous (or turn based?). Sad to say, surely this is part of the "fleets will ignore their strategies in space combat" bug? See the buglist (I *think* it s at spacempires.net)

After a bit of searching, I remembered it's available on the wiki:

check if you are in any treaties that prevent planetary bombardment

Good catch. No treaty exists with the guy I am attacking but I do have a treaty with another race that precludes planetary bombardment. I did not expect that to apply to someone I was at war with.

However, it does not explain why I retreat from his lone destroyer. I would expect to blow it up and THEN retreat.

OK, thanks. It seems a tad vague though (working "better"?) B-)
