Just started playing the game not too long ago, encountered a bug. I'm pretty sure I'm using it correctly: 1. Build Astraeus 2. Order it to lift a unit (fabricator) 3. Order it back into orbit. 4. Using the "orbit move" command tell it to move to another planet. Well, I can get as far as picking up a unit. Sometimes the Astraeus outright vanishes (it once vanished with my commander and ended the game.) Usually, it goes back into orbit and starts to circle the home planet like it's about to launch itself, then vanishes and reappears right back where it started. Is it a glitch, or am I doing something wrong?
Can you please clarify: do you mean you become "annihilated" because commander died? Or you mean you lost your commander so nobody can kill it?
I had the same problem. I moved my commander with the Astraeus to another planet (Not from main planet) Afther a while it somehow get's back to the the same planet from where it left off. It never reaches it's orbital destination. *Worst case scenario is that your commander get's killed by avengers *
I get "annihilated" and I'm sent to the defeat screen. I even tried putting the AI on sandbox (I was playing the AI btw) and had the same results, meaning they weren't destroying my Astraeus.
Happened to AI Commander here. Video: http://www.twitch.tv/movrajr/b/533079838 Maybe the Astraeus is getting shot down underground while it's grabbing the commander, but that's hard to see.
