Can someone explain what happened to me?
Hey all,
Recently dusted off Alpha Centauri after acquiring the expansion pack and was playing along great as the Cyborgs (dan't remember the faction name off hand, sorry.)
I had been dumped on an island with no one else and enough room to get a few bases squeezed together, so that was my immediate goal. I used a pretty common tactic from the old days, nothing but forests and geting tree farms in all my bases. I was also able to get every secret project but Genome and Command Matrix.
And then, completly out of the blue, all of my 9 bases dissappeared with all their garrisons, all my formers vanished and I was given 3 colony pods, 3 sentinels and a former to "continue." I choose to quit instead, as losing nine bases and all my projects was simply to much to bear.
Why did this happen? I didn't get any message and it seems so specific of an event to just be a bug.
Any help appreciated.
Chris Woods

Something cause you to be eliminated and restart. Most often this is by aciidently enter the keystroke to resign a game (shift Q) when the restart option is toggled on. I have seen 2 or 3 other instances of a bug casing this. IF you have eliminated another faction and captured its leader, and another faction tries a probe action to free the leader, it has in the 2 or 3 other instances I have heard somecause your the capturing rather than the captured faction to be "rescued"
