Galactic Privateer Bug

from GalCiv2 Forums
I've noticed in all Gal Civ II versions sonce the 1.00 release version that the Galactic Privateer "wonder" protects trade ships from being attacked by single enemy ships, but that fleets are able to successfully attack and destroy my trade ships.

And, on a related note, the AI doesn't seem to be able to deal with the fact that their single ships can't attack my trade ships when I have the Galactic Privateer, so they'll follow my trade vessles and try to attack them anyway (without success) for quite a while until someonthing else grabs their interest, or I destroy them.

Galactic Privateer has been changed I believe, because of this bug. Now, they can attack your frieghters, but the trade route will never be broken.

I asked this recently and Josh_88 pointed this that the Trade Routes aren't broken is quite a benift to your routes so it is not a bug.

So if you see them attack and kill your freighter another (little) freighter will replace it?

That's how I understand it, yes.

Well, they seem to "spawn" again at the beginning of the trade route, which as I understand it, costs me a little money, so that's kind of annoying. But the fact that single AI ships will endlessly try to attack my frieghters (without success) seems like an important AI bug to work out.
