I have a fleet that either engages (or is engaged by) a pirate fleet. I go through the pre-battle dialogues, with the "Watch" option selected. It loads the battle, I click or press space to launch the battle, and the following error is displayed:

To reproduce the error, I have my United Empire fleet "1st Protectors Navy" (containing 2 standard "Corvette" ships and 2 standard "Escort" ships) in the Dobrynya system engage the Reaver fleet "1st Sneaky Pirates" (containing 1 "Positron" ship). I select any of the battle cards, make sure the "Watch" option is selected, and enter the battle. When I press space or click to launch the battle, it presents with the error.

I give this bug a 5 for reproducibilty. I have reproduced the error 5 times in the battle with the pirate fleet. I have fought the battle with the pirate fleet both before and after the battle with the other enemy fleet, the error still appears. I have also tried engaging the fleet and not watching the battle, and the error didn't occur. The error also didn't occur when I watched the battle with the other enemy fleet in the same system.

Expected behaviour.... No clue :P

I'm playing the up-to-date version.

I also learnt that trying to load a save file while you're uploading it to the forum upsets the game :P
