Shakturi abandoned ship

[gocdavies]

So i was alerted to a rift ship abandoned and tried to repair it. it would not repair. i came here to figure out why. a post said it was a trap. and now they know where my homeworld was and that the exploring team had visions of invasions. Yet they would already know my homeworld as we are in contact with diplomats.

but when i could not repair the ship. the entire rift fleet of maybe 50 ships are now heading at hyperspace in direction of my home-world.

are they going to attack and invade me?

previously i captured a Hive battleship.
set it to retire at a planet. took ages. but afterwards i didnt get any tech bonus even though it was full of new tech. it also happened with 2 other ships i repaired from debris field. neither time getting tech advances. is this a bug?

Yeah they could, depend on your specie you are playing. And shouldnt have got rid of that hive battleship, unless got poor tech lines.

When retire a vessel, check to see if there any good techs that you dont have and may comes in handy later on.

In that post (link), I mentioned it couldn't be repaired because the game considers it a functional ship (even though its abandoned). You can't repair functional ships. To fix this oversight, use the editor to switch it to your empire.

For the retired ship, you are getting advancement in tech (assuming its not bugged), just not getting entire techs or finishing them. A lot of salvaging results that way- you get partial advancement in the associated tech lines.

You also *tend* to get more advancement in techs you have already selected for research.

Retiring ships with tech you don't havetakes much longer. Its generally better to disassemble at more remote spaceports or at spaceports with multiple construction yards.

So probably no bugs aside from the abandoned ship event.
