The Bastion is still bugged. Please fix.

Once you dock it, you can't undock it.

Bastions? Are you referring to te Citadel upgrade of the Behemoths? If so, that is intended: Upgrading them to a Citadel turns them into a structure in the system.

I know the ship they are talking about. It's the one off Carrier hull you get from a quest. I don't remember the quest off the top of my head but I feel it's one of the random ones that refer to the Academy in some way.

Edit: Might be the quest for killing the heretic fleets.

Thanks for the extra info. I'll try to find some time to look into it and see what can be done.

No problem. To my knowledge the bug happens 100% of the time you dock it in any system. Selecting it to launch again somehow disables the launch button. I think there was also something about that ship being locked into its own fleet, regardless of CP value but it has been a long time since I've helped the academy with anything intentionally.

I'll add some more details on the Bastion for Cat's benefit, but for the rest of you the easy fix for the hangar issue is to put the Bastion in an existing fleet that is orbiting the system (can be a single hero also).

Cat, the Bastion has other weird bugs as well. This comes from a Dark Matter mission where you have to kill 3 rebel Academy ships and then they give you the Bastion carrier. Because it is categorized as an Academy ship, it has the aforementioned logic issues when trying to treat it as an individual ship. Because it is an Academy ship, the fleet it is on can't be used for invasions...but there's a stupid workaround for this. Pull any other ship out of that fleet, have it launch the invasion which will use all manpower in orbit, and then after your first attack you can move that ship back to the fleet and the invasion continues as normal. This is tolerable once you know the workarounds but definitely not intended, I imagine.

the bastion tries to say its part of the academy master fleet for me, this is really annoying since it means i cannot sell, scrap, or even merge it into other fleets

its a nice ship and a cool reward but, thats really frustrating

Oh wow I totally was not expecting any response. I didn't expect to get this far. Thanks!

Thank you everzbody for the additional info

I made the following video to detail the bugs and workarounds for the Bastion. I'm curious if this solves everyone's issues, or if there is perhaps an issue with certain races using the Bastion that I'm not aware of as I'm primarily a Horatio player. Please comment and share your experience: https://youtu.be/qZN1_oYVqZM

Found another scenario with weird Bastion behavior. I cover the issue and solution in this brief video: https://youtu.be/wuWBH8aXzd0

I got three ships to kill. Somewhat 11K attack, all roaming through my core solar systems. Every ship was calles 'The Betrayer'. The reward for doing so was 'The Bastion'.

[Twelvefield]

After I kill those three Betrayers, there's still more Betrayers that show up afterwards. All they do is fly around, i don't bother them at all. It's bad enough that they all have the BTRYR-1 vanity license plate, they don't need to be more persecuted than that I think.

Those are the same ships because your opponents get some of the same quests as you. If you destroy those ships yourself, that causes the quest to fail for them, so blow 'em up.

I was very happy about that behaviour. I've they weren't just cruising those three ships could have burned down my whole empire.

Btw: I only saw those three ships, there are no other blinking circles in the galaxy. That said, I 'only' have 65% of it explored...
