If the controlling empire runs into this event and fails to win the ground war when/if the titanic lifes goes on its rampage, the spaceport will shift to the "Titanic Lifeform" empire.



This makes no sense. Why do non-sentient lifeforms suddenly reach the space age just by destroying all armies on the surface of a planet?



As far as I'm aware, the only reason this happens is because the scenario itself is not possible by typical means. In order to invade a planet, you MUST destroy a spaceport (or must not be in combat which is effectively the same thing since spacesports start combat)



The spaceport should remain friendly OR it should be destroyed. This recently halted a multiplayer game I was having fun with. I had 3 planets to colonize, spent 2-3 years colonizing my first non-capital system, and this happened when I was running the research on titanic life. It wouldn't have been an issue, except I didn't have a fleet powerful enough to even deal with a lone spaceport.



This led to my neighbor noticing I was weak since I had wasted tons of minerals and energy on a planet and spaceport that were no longer mine, declaring, and leaving me with one colony. The one that was under control of the Titans. There was no way to even fight back, produce ships, etc....I may have to mod this until the bug fix is out.
