Hidden Pirate Bases

Post by FirstPappy »

How do you get ground troops to attack a hidden pirate base on a planet you own? The only time I could get that to happen is when my advisors suggested I should and I agreed.

This bothers me as well as there are no options to assault these bases or something

I am getting serious Déjà vu / a glitch in the Matrix here [:)]

Press F2 colonies screen.
Select the colony with the Pirate base you want to attack.
Select the Facilities tab.
Select the Pirate base.
Click attack.

Well, I never use the F2 shortcut. I think it is very little in the game that I don't use the mouse for, but I do use space to pause and the number key shortcuts that can be configured...

Selecting the colony and double clicking the selection panel works (like for all other stuff of yours that you can select). And there is the colony screen button.

Understood. I did not realize they were Facilities. I thought maybe they were resort bases since they weren't really that well hidden. [:D]
