Crusade: Scavenge tech bugs

from GalCiv3 Forums

Hello,

When playing with a race which scavenges such as the Snathi Revenge and a ship carrying a citizen of an enemy civilization is killed and its ship scavenge this leads to a "Lost Citizen" message which blocks the game from proceeding further.  I would suggest converting the ship to an unarmed scout as part of the scavenging process.

Similarly, a trade ship of an enemy civilization is scavenged, it cannot be used as a trade ship because it doesn't have a home port defined.  I would suggest copying the home port of one of the ships doing the scavenging and if it's not possible (because the ship doing the scavenging is a Bazar ship, then use either the nearest planet of the scavenging civilization or the home world.

The same happens with trade ships when a civ surrenders to you.  It can be re-homed by visiting a shipyard and ejected, but usually I just scrap them.

We are having trouble reproducing this.  Do you happen to have a save game that reproduces the problem?

I do not have a saved game, but every time I've played with Snathi with it's scavenging tech advanced to a certain level, and I've attacked a citizen of an enemy nation it has happened (lost citizen).  I will attempt to save a game next time.
