strange, i towed one to a base with two mcbr's set to rob, next turn i lost that base.the two mcbr's were still there the next turn, the SSD was gone. being that they both had 50 fuel out of 280 potential each, and the ssd was alone and holds 180, if you are correct this should not have happened.

Diplomacy settings? Fuel transfer and tow from a low ID cloaker?

Double check the time machine.

As stated host order is Rob then Imperial Assault.

So something allowing this to happened.

Did the EE have the planet and you have not changed the friendly code so it beamed up fuel?

Did you rob any fuel?

It may have beamed up fuel and then moved. But Beam up is after imperial assault.

You accidentally did not Rob?

If you did not tow it could move a short distance even without fuel. Could it get to a nearby planet?

Did you get a message of imperial assault?

Was it a low colonist planet?

Did a cloaked ship GA instead of the SDD?

I'd be interested if you got a message about Imperial Assault, Mechno. I thought that robbing a ship dry cancels cargo transfers of this ship to foreign planets.
Base misssion "refuel" is later than rob and clan drop. It explains why the SSD could escape but not the successful IA.

no IA, even though it DID happen, and he is in my warp well, so he wouldn't even really need fuel,i was only robbing no ship to tow with.

What was the colonist count on the planet?

Low enough that another ship cloaked in orbit could ground assault?

it was a BLITZ, EE has no cloakers, and it was about 2.3 million.

I would have had the SSD arrive without fuel. Then transfer fuel to it from a cloaked ship. Then download the 10 clans from the SSD to capture the base. Then tow away the SSD with the cloaker if it was of low enough id to be successful. This ship would of course need fueling from a second remaining cloaked ship to prevent robbing.

Did your ships rob anything from any ships...Ra
