I can't fight these forces and I'm stuck on a 6 hour increment for some reason.
Perhaps they're connected? Well, gotta solve one thing in that case!

« on: November 17, 2011, 05:45:49 PM »I don't know... I only got it when I set an attack with engineers only - As soon as I added a mobile infantry batallion it stopped the error and started killing the pesky robo-guards. Maybe it's to do with the number of enemy units? I don't know really, but you could try attacking with just the marines, see if it helps.

Was that it? Should I get rid of the engineer brigades and attack with only the 3 marine brigades?

« on: November 17, 2011, 03:51:20 PM »I know that engineers don't have an attack value... Marines do. Are the Engineers + Marines yours? Or do you just have engineers and your fighting marines? Because if so, you'll get a divide by 0 error, since engineers have no attack strength (although when I made the same mistake, they actually managed to damage the enemy... I guess it was on the defensive? I don't remember).

Marine and Engineer battalions btw.
I´m really confused, they also keep disappearing and then reappearing a couple in game hours later. :s

Edit:
If that ain´t it, have your troops actually an attack rating (Garrison and Replacemtent battalions don´t)

I thought it would be automatic at first but then I noticed some attack button on the ground forces screen. Tried that but it says something about attack bla bla = 0 so nothing really happens.
How can I get those things off my planet?

Still don't know how they were flying about, lol

Heh, I had the same problem. I ended up just nuking the chunk it was 'stationed' on. I'd landed ground forces there, but that did nothing, and they didn't secure anything from the Thermal Sig-5 on the chunk either.
