Facilities disapearing in AIC

The Planetary Bombs (Resupply Depot/Spaceport) can take down a homeworld, since it has these two abilities. One hit is enough, if the planet is not shielded. All facilities can be destroyed because of weapon fire; the amount of damage needed in AIC should be higher than in stock, but it can still happen.

So, if there were battles and your planetary shields went down, facilities are relatively easy to destroy. If there were no battles, intelligence projects can destroy facilities, but you should have got a message in this case.

Intell is shut off, so unless there are intel projects that don't require Applied Intel(sp) then thats not it. Besides there were no messages. also the facilities showed up destroyed in combat before any shots were even possibly fired, before I clicked the "begin" button. Also my AIC versions of the Space Port and Ressuply Depot were not destroyed. Only my 17 cultural centers.

'Tis odd. I suppose no ground battle is currently going on at your homeworld? All Intel projects should fall under Applied Intelligence, and *all* Intel may be disabled with the relevant setting.

I guess it could have been a random event, but seventeen times in a row is just a little bit too much. So, perhaps you have switched on the AI Minister, and it has decided to scrap your facilities? Sounds unlikely though, but I cannot think of anything else, besides a glaring bug in the game itself...

Events are off as well. No ministers on, thats the first thing I checked. They were all gone by about turn 40 or so, I'm now at turn 120 and have about 10 "towns" and a few other facilities but none have gone missing. Thats why I think it may be in the facility itself. I'll have to try to get it to happen again tonight.
