Summary0017390: Fabricator Hacking without scouting prevents response..
DescriptionStarted a hack, nothing new here, just wanted that fabricator design...
Did not have an active scout in the system, dropped my device and got my hacker out, device was only thing of mine in the system.
switched view to another planet to watch a raid engine attack.

"ai is responding to your hack on <planet>" vanishes from my view.
threat stops climbing.
click back over, timer down to 2:34, warning reappears, spawning resumes.
switch back to my raid engine farm world. message gone, threat stops climbing.
apparently, If I don't look at it, it doesn't catch my hacking.

Further testing: took hacker, started a sabotage hack, removed hacker and scout from planet.
switched view to different planet, hack continues to be acknowledged right up to the raid engine getting kaboomed.
waited another full minute, nothing happens. switched view back to hack target, force field goes kaboom instantly. (1 hack of no response from AI)

8 hours 29 min, loaded save and started a fab hack in that system while paused. immediately ordered hacker out and switched view away.
warning message gone after about 5 seconds.
threat stable at 690
attack during this time reduced to 573 threat.
switched view after the 5 min was up to look at hacker, hack completed, no response.

apparently design downloader doesn't suffer this bug.
Knowledge hacker is also not affected
Design hack for ARS also immune to this trick.
Sensor hack immune
not tested: design corruptor,(assume same as downloader) and adv. constructor (current game position prevents test, probably also bugged), exile tracker (have active exodian blade)
TagsNo tags attached.
