Even in single player against all the AI's, it is sometimes helpful to assist an ally in a siege. I was allied with UE and we were both attacking planets of Horatio, and he was down to two planets. I was sieging one of them and UE was sieging another. After I got mine, I wanted to make his siege go faster to make sure Horatio was completely out of the game. I moved my fleet to the Horatio system with the UE siege, and there were no actions my fleet could take. I should be able to add my siege capability to my ally's.

wouldnt really call it a bug.. more of an obvious feature request, all the AI jsut always hate me so not been ally, or even friendly yet lol, but thats my plan next game

Not a bug. Just a suggestion.

I can understand he thought it a bug, as he assumed it simply was a feature. And It should be if you're allied with someone.
