Bug with adding bounty to a defeated player

from Stardock Forums

I created a 2v2 and the game became a 2v1, with my ally and I still surviving. The Pirates were active and I clicked on the button to increase the bounty on my enemy, but it increased it on the destroyed faction not the remaning faction.

 I had to go into the diplomacy menu, selct pirates and increase the bounty from there. On that screen as well the eliminated faction was highlighted. But the dull button for the surviving faction worked.

100% reproducable...and let me guess..already in the to-be-fixed list? Good!

Well you can't do that, b/c what happens when you are adding bounty to a dying opponent, the moment he was wiped out?  The pirates will never give you your money back, lol.

Besides the money are contributing to the next raid I think.  But I don't know

I think it is because the defeated player isn't really defeated....there might be an orbital unit somewhere hidden..it keeps happening, in another game I found a military facility in orbit around a planet long after the player was eliminated!  Just a guess.

There is probably still SOMETHING left alive, even if the crystal is cracked, though perhaps not.  On a related note, the computer opponent (only noticed this on hard difficulty) HAS in the past put bounty on eliminated players.
