Revolting bug?

[SilasOfBorg]

Hello folks, I had something odd happen today.

Many times as the Slightly Immoral Urgan Empire, I have completely cleansed a planet of alien filth prior to colonization.

This results in a brand new planet (albeit with slightly diminshed mineral deposits) and a happy, productive colony.

Today I had a colony ship in orbit (normally I leave them behind lines in case of surprises) so I colonized immediately after bombing.

Hit spacebar and BOOM the colony was "Revolting!". My fleets were in orbit, no alien presence was within several star systems. This seems off.

As a programmer myself, I noticed that the colony was in revolt for the previous owner before I obliterated it. Perhaps there is a bug clearing some kind of status when a planet is bombed clean and then immediately colonized?

Or perhaps there is some mechanic I don't know about. But my experience with cleaned and re-colonized planets has been very consistent up until now.

Thanks in advance for any insight / bug # / "that's fixed in the next patch".

Do you have a saved game before this colonization?

Do you have a saved game before this colonization?

I do, actually. The planet in question belongs to the Vaglars in the SW of the map, called lambda Corona Autralis. A few years from this save I clear out the stations and fighters and bomb it and colonize it, all at once.

The save is too big to upload, I've made it temporarily available via FTP:

ftp://guest:guest@lipford.no-ip.org:60063/AUTO1.zip

If that doesn't work I can email it to you or something.
