Description
Machine empire cannot protect against piracy from other empires [v2.2.7] [b1a8]
Game Version
v2.2.7 (b1a8)
What version do you use?
Steam
What expansions do you have installed?
All of the above
Do you have mods enabled?
Yes
Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
When playing as a machine empire/gestalt consciousness (that cannot create trade routes themselves), building gun/missile batteries does not mitigate piracy stemming from trade routes that *other* empires make.
About the annotated screenshot.
Red = Shows the trade route I'm assuming the organic empire has made
Green = My station that should be mitigating piracy
Purple = Shows that my gun/missile battery has no effect on piracy mitigation
The enemy fleet in the Kastaba system is a *machine* pirate fleet. This makes absolutely no sense.
The pirate fleet should never have appeared to begin with because of my starbase in Zedran. But if piracy does get bad enough, I think that an organic pirate fleet should be spawned instead. It's the organics that are doing piracy, not the machines.
My only mod is a UI mod. Has no effect on anything else.
Steps to reproduce the issue.
1. Play as machine empire/gestalt consciousness (I play as determined exterminator)
2. Make it so another empire's trade route goes through your territory
3. Build starbases with gun/missile batteries and see that they don't mitigate piracy
