problems with "my" asteroids.

the free mine with my cap ship ability is grey and not producing, i can't take it over and can't kill it

from Sins Forums

I'm not getting rescources from asteroids on my colonized worlds.  I used the TEC Akkan Battlecruiser with the colonizing ability and got a free grey mine.  I can't take it over with a Protev Colony Frigate, I can't scuttle it, and I can't attack it... it just sits there without producing much needed materials.  This seems to be at random so far, I used the ability before and after with no problem in the same game, and then it happened again.  This problem only ever happened after I updated on 9\30/09.

I'm hoping it's a simple fix, but it sure is frustrating.

Does anyone know when the hotfix will be released and will it show up on impulse..The game is useless to play if you can not get the resources...

When I played today, it was one asteroid per gravity which was not able to be used. I thought that I may be some new feature, such as the civilians having their own mining asteroid... however it is a bug and not a feature.

 

If such a type of thing were to be made into a feature, then possibly there should be a tax levied for civilian use of space objects, or something of the sort, so that there could be extra income if you needed it by leasing out an asteroid or a refinery or something of that kind. How would this sound?

I just decided to continue my game I started after the last update and try a different method out. Normally I use the Akkan to conquer and colonize a planetary system, but I decided to use the Protev to colonize rather than the Akkan. When using the Protev, at least so far for the last two planets, none of the resource asteroids have been made unusable. I don't know if all will get the same results, but try using Protevs for colonization instead of the Akkan.

seems how the grey asteroid effect is a bug with the Akkan special ability then yes you should have no problems with the protevs
