My wife and I were playing a hot seat game and she went to build a new colony and poof, the pod disappears and there is no trace of the colony. Is this a bug that's been seen before? It was a real bummer because it was her first attempt at SMAC and it really turned her off. We knew that it was built and that it hadn't been destroyed because in the summary screen for units, 2 were built and none were destroyed. Any ideas? Thanks.

I don't have an answer, but I have had a Colony pod disappear on me. I made an orbital insertion (just completed the Space Elevator) into the Ruins with a colony pod to build a city on the next turn, it landed okay slightly dammaged, but next turn the pod was nowhere to be seen - it was not attacked by humans or mindworms, it just fell off the face of Planet. The second time I tried it, it worked, started a war because I couldn't see the borders (fog of war on), but that a different story. |

I had a hotseat game, playing as the Hive. i landed with 2pods, 1 scout. built The Hive where I had landed, and poof, my other pod vanished. I was quite upset. but not to worry, I am still winning the game, but this bugs will show-up on occasion. this is one I would love to re-create for Firaxis. |
