Invasion, yes or not
« on: October 17, 2013, 06:02:51 PM »
Hi guys, I read to somewhere that the AI in Aurora does not make invasions of other planets.
During my actually game, nasty aliens have launched a mass surprise attack with nuclear missiles against Mars (one of the biggest colony), totally destroying almost everything inside and killing millions of ppl but not all (I think about 7 milions survived altogether factories, infrastructures, mines etc.)
After the bombardment in the event list, I can read this "Due to the loss of Mars, 1635.9304 has been looted by the conquering barbarians" o0.
Now Mars, is checked red and there is a contact called "Population [Sol]Thermal 6765 EM7547"

I'm quite sure that not all ppl were killed and not all the infrastructure and installations were destroyed, so:
1) What do these numbers in this message mean?  "Due to the loss of Mars, 1635.9304 has been looted by the conquering barbarians"
2) Due to this contact "Population [Sol]Thermal 6765 EM7547", has Mars been invaded???

Moreover, just after the bombardment, Mars was not checked as mine anymore and I had to re-checked it as colony again. Anyway, inside there's nothing, neither stuff nor ppl, only a lot of radiations.
I attached a screen

Edit: I just checked in the wealth/trade section and among the expenditures there's a voice "population conquered" which is costing to me 1635.9, exactly the amount of the message in the event.

Most likely what has happened is your Mars colony surrendered to the bombarding aliens.   :'(
You will have to reconquer it and that number is wealth that you lost.

Hi
I just found a moon which looks has some aliens inside. The contact says "population [Sir] (I'm in Sirius system) thermal 5".
Actually the thermal strengh is very low and I was just lucky that my ship with thermal sensors looked at this moon during a trip.
Anyway, strengh 5 suggests me that there are few things inside and maybe no population, but... What should I do now? I sent in the moon an espionage team, but I don't know how it works and I cannot see what is inside the moon, even if I enstablish a colony.
Should I sent there military troops or what?

PS: the button to attach a screen does not work :(

That's probably a deep space tracking facility. Those things don't require any population to run, so you can just drop them on any old lump of rock and get a nice big passive sensor. I don't know if normal NPRs do it, but one of the spoiler races does. If there are no ground forces there, you could drop a unit there for a free DSTF.
