Author Topic:   Bug with moving Probe Team in IP game

in an IP game a pact brother had his city between me and the next city of an anemy.
I sent a probe team to the enemy by marking the enemy's city as target.
The way confirmed by system was throught the pact brother's city. Normally no problem.
However, when the probe team reached the pact brother's city SMAC ask what to do and I click continue moving.
then different things happened:
as a chat message I got the message that the probe team was detected and liquidated by pact brother. the probe team was away.
next time the probe team was away without any message.
That happened several times so that I lost 4 probe teams in one game, in an other game I lost 2 probe teams.
I'm sure that I made no failure or wrong click.
It was not possible to reach the enemy's city by crossing the pact brother's city.

Maybe because probeteams at v.20 have no color?
