I no longer have that DB state so I'd have to download it from here. Haven't tried to yet, I only remembered some weirdness with my transports not getting built around the time I was beaming the shipyards.

You could actually use the DB I posted when you were looking at the missiles flying towards the sun. Order the shipyards at earth and mars to start building random ships and then order my forces to beam the shipyards to death (use the battle group with the CAs). Check to see if the construction order are destroyed everytime the combat reports say that a slipyard is destroyed.

« on: June 17, 2020, 01:29:37 PM »Indeed I can reproduce this issue in my test setup, and I have reported it in http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?topic=11565.msg135711#msg135711
Thanks.
Somewhat related I tried to destroy the pesky shipyard in question using beam weapons instead and while this worked it had a nasty side effect that feels very much like another bug.
Blowing up a slipway resulted in my own Shipyard Tasks vanishing into thin air without a trace. Looks to be random which task get removed when a slipway is destroyed, so probably the random function meant to decide which NPR task get removed when slipways are destroyed is not limited to only that shipyard. Might be worth checking if you can reproduce as well unless it's already reported by someone else.
STR:
- Have Shipyard construction tasks assigned to all your own slipways.
- Destroy NPR shipyard slipways using beam weapons.
- Observe own Shipyard Tasks disappear.
Wait a second.... this explains why my troop transports were seemingly not being constructed during my shipyard bombings.. I honestly thought that I had short term memory issues instead and kept forgetting to give the construction order.
Can someone else test this to make sure this is actually the case?

A partial workaround is to use missiles that have active self-guidance against shipyards. Works only if the primary star is also in range, the missiles will head to the sun, blow up and then magically damage the shipyards like they should.

« on: May 29, 2020, 08:05:48 PM »I tested again with the fleets missiles and sensors not in range of the star, and same result they also vanished 5 sec after launch so seems it's not related to the star being in range.

How close is the shipyard to the sun? Could you target the shipyard on AS while also having the sun in range of your missiles?
If I am correct, the missiles will fly to the sun, explode, and somehow manage to destroy the shipyards. This is what happened to me in 1.8 though so this might be different.
It seems it might be a different version of the same bug, because the sun was indeed as a matter of fact in range of the missiles! ( 80m km range missiles and a planet orbiting just 67m km from a G9-V class star ).
I am playing version 1.9.5 so if the solution for that bug was to prevent/remove the sun as a target that could potentially explain why the missiles now simply explode on launch instead.
