Summary0011621: CPA creating 200 unit carrier on cleaned planet
DescriptionIn the attached save the CPA created a carrier with 200 units inside in my cleaned backwaters where all in all maybe 60 units were left on multiple planets.

It's not catastrophic in this case but if it were higher mark units or some more, it could be.

It would be nice if a CPA would only combine units from connected AI planets into a carrier, so if some planets are cut off from the rest, it does not magically teleport units there.

the autosave is a few minutes before the cpa hits

Making it do the "only join connected" stuff would be very complicated and really the warp gates let it get around these restrictions in other cases anyway, but for 6.033:

* The CPA deployment logic will no longer drop carriers on planets with no "wave" warp gates (so a non-home command station isn't enough, but a warp gate is).

So if you gate-raid everything back there (and make sure there aren't any Eyes or other structures that provide wave-warp-gate capability) then no CPA units will come from that side at all.

Thanks for the feedback :)
