Author Topic:   Version 3.0 bug #2

Faction with a treaty moves its probe team in to my territory. I tell faction to move out - it replies that it has no units in my territory. When I attack the trespassing unit - my reputation suffers and I start a war. There's got to be a way of expelling
foreign probe teams in your territory.
What do you guys think ?

I think if you use some of the later versions of SMAC that the probe teams is unflagged. So it isn�t necessary the closest neighbour that "visits" you. Perhaps you told some innocent faction to get the *** out?

Check out the title !
"Version 3.0 Bug" !!
And when you get info on the square it
still tells you who owns the probe team.
And I demanded from the owned to get it
the @#$% out and got a no-units-in-your-
territory reply.

(Do you honestly think they're going to ADMIT to sending in a secret team to take over your cities and units? <G> "Sorry, chap...if you have problems with insurrectionists, you'll have to deal with them yourself...")

Yes, but in that case, why did attacking the probe team start a war or cause his rep to suffer? Either the faction has to admit it was spying (in violation of treaty - so no cause for complaint) or it has no justification in complaining that you attacked this "unknown" unit

You're _supposed_ to see a dialog that offers the choice to attack them, expel them or ignore them. I've seen it in a V3 game so its still there and works. But now that you mention it I believe that I also had an instance where I expected to see the dialog and didn't. Have to watch more carefully for this one.

I believe this might have been a stack of probe teams. The dialog might work correctly for single but not come up when you have a stack of 2 or more.
Just a thought.
