[#3597] 7.5 Xenon with viable territory try to rebuild in hostile system instead

Open the map and look at the Erlking. It's about to arrive at a Xenon shipyard build site which has just appeared in Scale Plate Green I. The system is lost to them: I have been killing some of their shipyards and wharves to see if I can condense their forces into more durable groups elsewhere. After the wharf and shipyard, I kill the defence platforms to unclaim the system, and then clean up the initial build sites that have re-appeared. In this case, TEL took the system since then also.

However, here they keep putting the build sites back. This doesn't really make sense: they have other sectors still, even other ones with appropriate resources, that don't currently have a wharf or shipyard in them, if they're opposed to putting them in one place. Surely lingering solar powerplants are not a solid enough claim on a system to think it's safe to build there, and your wharf and shipyard are not good ways to try to claim what is now a hostile owned system. Frankly they don't seem like great ways to claim a neutral one.

This seems like a case where the logic they are using is a bit flawed. Doing this while they have other options just delays getting their facilities built.


edit: this is also with only core + Timelines + Hyperion + TOA, so if you load it with other expansions active it's possible the extra systems might change the behaviour.

Weird... when I download the save, at least I hope it's a save, Windows Defender detects a virus, and deletes the file instantly.

It claims to detect "Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml" in the file.

Just to make sure, this is a save file you uploaded, right?
Also, just to make sure, did your computer get infected with something?

Yes it's just a renamed quicksave. I give them a name change because my google drive is full of them so I want to remember which is what.

I have no idea why windows would react that way to it since I'm also on windows and it's never complained to me of anything. I ran a malwarebytes scan just now while waiting to post this but that didn't come up with anything either.

Windows Defender seems to have calmed down now...
Very weird.

Maybe it didn't like the name of the file?

Anyways, thanks for the report.
