Ministers Working Without Permission?

[Aristoi]

Something strange happened in a PBW game v1.49. I loaded up my new turn, and noticed a lot of reports of sats being build. Looked like 20-30. I hve no memory of putting them down for build, but they were my designs. I figured the AI would have made his own. Then I noticed some ships seemed to be sitting in the middle of space with no orders. This being a telltale sign that the AI has been working, I was suspicious.

However, I knew I had not missed the previous turn. I went back to the log and there was my upload for the Last turn. I figured I was just going nuts.

I went back to the game and under research, there was all these strange technologies that I know I did not put down, chief among them Base Construction, which I never use and the AI seems to like a lot.

I checked the ministers, none of them are on, and I would never use them anyway. Has anyone seen anything like this in their own games? I am using 1.49 with no mods.

Thanks!

Edit:
I checked Intel projects, and there were a lot of worthless ones in the queue, ,also.

Edit2:
Alright, it must be because the host did not upgrade the game to 1.49 as stated. So I presume my turn file was rejected.

Still, though, why wouldn't the AI obsolete all my ships as usual?

Yes, I have seen that also. And I believe you are correct. If you upgraded to 1.49 and the PBW game is still on 1.41 your orders will not be carried out ( at least that is what I assume).

Happened to me too.

Assume you have a 1kg squirrel

E=1kg(3x10^8m/s)^2=9x10^16J
which, if I'm not mistaken, is equivilent to roughly a 50 megaton nuclear bomb.
Fear the squirrel.

If AI didn't research any new ship components it shouldn't design any new ships and therefore it shouldn't obsolete anything. (I know this from few tests that I made some patches ago. It might be different with current patch.)

Well this explains a lot. Now I know why my orders were not carried out in the Last turn. Do you want to start the game over?

I assume you're refering to "Eternity In Hell 2". I'd rather not, ,it took so long to get everyone rolling.
