Hi Guys,
Very minor bug here but I thought to log it:
On two occasions I have been unable to access/occupy an area of space just above a system with any ships. The game refuses to acknowledge that I chose that area, much as if it thought the area was a system. All other sections of space are OK and I can move around it. On both occasions I was trying to get the space to hit a Xeno ship.
It seems to disappear if I reload a game though I have not thoroughly checked this. I am playing on an updated, android based Nexus 5 with the latest Elite, 1.5.3 version of the game.
The next time it occurs I will take screenshots, save and reload.

We have had a few reports of this issue from Android users, and I have logged #2634 to try to resolve it.
Hopefully I'll be able to figure out the issue and create a patch for it. As you said, the work-around is to exit to main menu and reload the game.

One cause of this bug seems to be the game not erasing the transport ship that colonized the planet.
The ship will disappear but the game still thinks the square is occupied. Just my observation.

I noticed it after the xeno colonized the planet.
My ship was destroyed the next turn. I am sending more ships to meet the expanding xeno at their next target. I will report back soon.

Yes.
The invisible colony ship is still there. Whats more is if i select attack and tap on the bugged ships location my ship will face towards it. I will preform further testing to determine what else detects its presence.

I can confirm that any ship with any weapon will cause the ship to face the fake ship. The bugged ship is treated like any ship minus the health bar and graphics. It seems after the xeno colonizes a planet the game removes it from the list of xeno ships but does not revert the tile back to its original state. Depending how this has been coded it would explain why ships could interact with it and why it is not present when restarting the game
Just to clarify:
Your ships do not lose AP or water fuel when selecting the enemy for an attack. No attack graphic is shown aside from the ships orientation and i am not in a place where i can listen for a sound affect.

john smith - very odd reports. I can't reproduce here. Can you share your device, OS version, and game version?

Iphone 5c ios 8.1.2
Star traders 4x free ver 1.6.13
The testing i have done was on the rim 64x64 map[42 worlds] average resources, on normal mode, against the zenga and the krangg (both of which have the invisible ship).
Seeing that the ship is invisible, does not move, and cannot receive damage. It is possible that any automated means of detection will not find it due to the game not recognizing it as a ship.

johnsmith - if you exit the game and then reload the save, does the ship disappear?

Yes. The invisible colony ship is still there. Whats more is if i select attack and tap on the bugged ships location my ship will face towards it. I will preform further testing to determine what else detects its presence. What Android device, Android OS version, firmware build and do you have any task killers, third party themes or anti-virus applications running that would interfere with the game's ability to store data into memory? Do you have Developer Options turned on? Do you have the latest Google Play games installed? Have you check for Google updates or OTA updates? |

I thought the question was refering to after the ship colonized the planet, not when restarting the game. Very sorry for the confusion.

I have seen this few times and I have seen it couple days ago in the current version when a Xeno World Killer destroyed 1 of my system. The spot where the World Killer was became the "Inaccessible spot".
I have also seen the case my Dead Transport became a ghost ship after it was destroyed. This one will go away after a reload of game. That was few updates ago.
