Summary0002404: Guardposts can be insta-killed.
DescriptionIf you claim a planet with an Ion Cannon you can manually target the guard posts to destroy them. I'm pretty sure this is not intended.

Meh, I always considered that a feature.

Not sure, it felt pretty cheap to me. But hey, if it's that way on purpose i can learn to live with it ;)

I don't see much of a problem - you already own the planet, and obviously you've cleared most resistance to keep the AI from destroying your command station while it was being built, so allowing players to save some time by just instakilling guard posts isn't too much of a problem (since guard posts aren't exactly hard to kill in the first place).

I agree with Sunshine partly. However, now that there are mobile short-range ion cannons due to Spirecraft, I'm not sure if it's really balanced. Never used those specific Spirecraft, really, which is why I don't have a clue regarding the balance issues here.

Thanks!

* Previously, only mark V guard posts were immune to being insta-killed. Now they all are.
