What are the human orbital bases good for?

- they don't defend from fagur attacks (bombing and assimilation) - that's ok
- they also don't defend from mercenary bombing - that is not good, it's a bug or an undocumented feature (suprise)?

I didn't tried other types of attack, 2-3 enemy is good enogh, but the orbital bases are too expensive just to hang on the sky.

Merc attacks should be intercepted by orbital bases. Spy missions are not intercepted by orb bases.

Orb bases are not tha main defence from an attack, but are that small bite that depends for the final result.

I lost 2 colonies because of a merc bombing:

there was a space battle then a bombing, the orbital base was active and fully operational, but didn't participated in the defense.

any admin should check my battlereport:
TG galaxy, my id 1021, battle id 1394

the orbital base disappeared after the loss of the colony.

Are you sure your orbital base was ready and not in progress? Orbital base is shown even when is built, but do not participate in battle.

I'm 99% sure that they were ready. I checked after the loss of the first colony that all my orbital are in activated status.

I have verified the code and did not find any bugs. Let me know if this happen again.

Regards.

PS: battle id 1394 in our logs is a raid and not a bombing.
