Mothership being sent away right after taking a planet

[TNM]

Either this is a new bug, or the rules have been changed again and no one has been told.

Anyway, here are the details:

09:52 Arska CoP are gods among men lost

10:01 Arska Attack defended:
In a fury, the two opposing forces clash!

TNM was was commanding Spaceball 1, thier MotherShip.


TNM's Spaceball 1 provides xxx,xxx,xxx additional defence power to the troops on the ground!

As you can see in less than 9 minutes this guy was able to take a planet and send his MS away. I thought there was a 2 hour holding limit where you could not send your MS away.

I would appreciate an answer on this soon, because it seems as if this guy is purposely abusing a bug.

If he has no weapons or shields on his MS, then it doesn't show up. and by none, I mean 0, not 24 and 19 like a massed MS will have.

[Ston]

so if someone got a only a MS with no weapon or def slots his fleets will be invincible cause his ms is taking not part in the fight?
planned or not, needs a change!

[Tok`ra]

ALL motherships are invencible.

Only filled slots are able to be hit.

No, if he has fleets they are still killed. He must have sold them and also had nothing on his ship.

I know this for a fact, I had a 0 mothership for 6 months(kept me nice and low for raiding), but I also had a good few fleet hangers. More than once I left the fleets on after taking a planet and came back on a few hours later to find a few fleets missing...

But Hensenshi is right, if you have no weapons and shields and fleets installed, your mothership doesn't even bother showing up for the battle, even if it is built.
