it never does for me...it has to wait for the ship to be destroyed ...then the lazy a$$ computer says "oh yeah I forgot to mention..one of your ships is under attack now where was it hold on..oh yeah in Napileo's memorial...too bad...it's gone..."
sure as heck IM sure...I was in a sector with my discoverer and my tl....there were pirates after my tl and they began to shoot it...although I saw them shooting it....there was no computer warning at ALL!!
