please clarify a weird experience i had

from Sins Forums

i was playing the game the other day as the vasari and i went to an adjacent planet(desert), that at the time wasn't owned or colonized by anyone but when i see the replay the TEC faction had extractors and a trade port, and research station all providing their benefits even though according to the replay, the pirates had destroyed the colony but not the other stuff.  so i go in trying to capture in neutral territory but it says i have to have the system in that case.

is that a bug that even though their colony was destroyed 15 mins prior they still get the benefits of the structures the pirates didn't touch?

 

thanks garrett

No, it's not a bug - structures in orbit continue to function even if the colony is unowned or under a different owner. The player loses the ability to build any more, and anything unbuilt at the time they lose the planet is destroyed.

If you want, you can even take the Pirate Base planet and colonize it - and leave the pirate guns defending it  :LOL: 

Anybody else's stuff in orbit does use your orbital slots, though.
