Bugs

Anyone seen these?

STARBASES NOT ATTACKING

Two games in the last 2 days I've seen this.  In my online game last night, I SB'd an enemy player's planet as vasari.  There was one turret that the SB wouldn't kill.  I ordered it to kill the turret time and time again, it would not.  Actually, it wouldn't even move toward it to get in range.  It's like there was an invisible shield between the SB and the turret.  The SB was not on hold position, it's autoattack was not turned off or anything of the sort.  I was not allied with the enemy player.  The SB sat in the grav well until the game ended (over an hour) and it never killed the turret.  I have a replay.

Tonight I attacked a pirate base in single player, and dropped a vasari SB.  A similar thing happened - the SB stopped attacking turrets (this was after all enemy ships were killed).  The difference was, when I explicitly ordered it to continue attacking turrets, it could do so successully.

WEIRD MINI PHASE HOPS UPON ARRIVING IN A GRAV WELL

I've only noticed this when there are enemies in the grav well.  My ships jump in, and sometimes some of them will do a weird mini "phase hop" and move a substantial distance from where they arrived.

Has anyone seen any of these bugs?

And last but not least, I might as well throw this in because it irritates me to no end, but it's been around forever so it's not likely to get fixed...

CANNOT QUEUE ORDERS FOR A COLONIZER FRIG TO COLONIZE, AND THEN DO SOMETHING ELSE, I.E. JUMP OUT OF SYSTEM

i havent seen the SB bug, but i have seen the weird phase hop...

im sure you know but its worthwhile to note that the vasari Subverter (i think) has the ability to do a mini phase jump within a system... if you are experiencing what i think you are experiencing, its when ships arrive in a gw, and then all of a sudden reappear a good distance to the left or right... really weird... although it isnt bad when they would have run into a face full of space mines if they hadnt jumped =P

as for the last bug...  i can que orders for colonisers... so i cant help you there...

The second situation, not the first with the subverter.

Yes, I have seen this, especially in Diplomacy.

for the 1st prob, i would say there's a game mechanic failure or bugs that fails to recognize the angle of ur SB weapons that it should be no prob
