Teleporting ships

from GalCiv4 Forums

Anyone else see ships occasionally teleport to random, distant parts of the sector?  My survey ship suddenly teleported to outside its travel range, but it still says it's surveying . . . huh?  This also happens to regular ships sometimes.  It's a rare bug but I've see it happen a few times.

To be clear, my survey ship finished with an anomaly and I moved it onto the next one.  Then I clicked the ! and made my anomaly choice.  Then my ship was suddenly far from where it had been previously.

Best guess: The AI used the vault item that allows for ships/fleets to be randomly transported - or your ship investigated a wormhole.

I'm almost 100% sure this is a bug.  It's certain that neither of those things happened, anyway.  Also, my survey ship did finish remotely, as it were, surveying that anomaly before I had to direct it back to friendly space.

I've also had ships mysteriously teleported across the sector. The only reason I noticed was because they were now traveling in an area which was unconnected to explored space.

AI used a wormhole generator on you. It's not a bug. That or you had an event that teleported you. I'm not sure if those exist anymore but in GC3 it happened often.

Oh really.  This was extremely early in the game, and I hadn't met an AI opponent yet.  Also, surely the AI uses their artifacts *on their turn*.  This was in the middle of my turn.  It was not a wormhole.  Same when other ships suddenly teleport across the galaxy.

Could you provide a related save for this by chance so we can take a better look?

I thought I had a save but I can't locate it . . .  :(  But I have a question: are there wormholes in GC4?  It seemed like a regular anomaly with two or three options of how to interact with it.

There are definitely events that have a consequence or resolution of teleporting a ship or fleet to a different spot on the map

Here is a regular anomaly that can teleport a ship.

Perhaps you got an anomaly like that and chose the option that teleports.

The ship is teleported as soon as the choice is made.

I do usually take the money.  Wow interesting!  Ok but I still remotely surveyed an anomaly, because I had already moved and started a survey before clicking that button.  So that warp thing should probably be set to break any anomaly research if it's underway.
