Post Battle Summary
-------------------
We attempted to leave the battle since we had no targets.
Ship left battle on round 1
Ship hulls have taken 104 damage (2.1%)

...The target in question has combat visible and was then attacked by other ships the same day, so the target should have been attacked by all members of the squadron not just the ships that actually scanned the platform.

Why did none of the ships engage?

Today, I tried supporting the ship that is currently attacking the platform and again I failed to get any of my ships to join the battle.

I'm wondering if there is a serious problem with platforms considering my other platform problems.

I need more information to debug what happened here - partial turns generally don't help to find out what wrong. Can you either pm me or emal them. Also squadron orders have no relation to battles - if you get into a battle then their influence/job is over.
Gandolph
silly question but you never know, is your alert status set to on, the way i read it if it isnt you wont take part
David Bethel
No it was a bug, tractors did no dmg so the dmg weighting function thought you were missing smile.gif Hence did not fire.... sorted now
