I was playing a game, latest patch, Normal AI. Tthe Altarians had, despite their low AI, managed to Constructor Rush me because I was too laid back with doing it myself . They took two resources that rightfully were mine. However, at one point, despite having fully upgraded starbases, they randomly decommissioned at least both of those. They recovered one, but I managed to take the other one before their next ship arrived.
I'm pretty sure the Altarians weren't strapped for cash, and if they were they should have decommissioned one of their nearly 200 fighter-sized ships first or one of their myriad of military starbases. They did, after all, have a military rating bigger than the next two behind them combined.
Has anyone else seen something like this? I don't have a Save Game, but if it happens often enough that someone else has seen it, it probably should be fixed.
