Psychic ship just dropped with no mechs?

[ephemeraltoast]

Never seen this happen before. Zero mechs dropped with the ship, everyone just walked up and punched it to death with no resistance. This same save file has previously had psychic ships drop with normal amounts of defenders, so I'm confused. Is this a known bug?

No this is Perfectly Fine.
There is 2 Possible Scenarios where this can happen.

Option 1
Events get a Points Budget Based on how Big and Wealthy Your Colony is.
So if Your Colony is still Fairly Small.
And thus the Points Budget only Covers the Psychic Ship Event but no Additional Escorts.
The Ship will Drop Alone.

Option 2
Escorts can also be Spawned as Reinforcements.
Meaning that once You Attack the Ship the Defending Mechs will Drop from Orbit.
