Summary0019602: Marauders disappearing as soon as they spawn
Description Copy and paste from https://forums.arcengames.com/ai-war-ii/ai-war-2-v0-722-released!-'down-the-wormhole'/msg218713/#msg218713
  """""""I decided to put marauders on. I started attacking the planet next to my home-world (lets call it planet 2) when it said "Marauders are attacking Planet 2". Alright, I wait for a bit and nothing happens. Right after that, I get "Marauders are attacking (home-world planet name)". Alright, i wait a little while. Nothing again. Not sure what's up. I don't have a save during this, but I'll see if I can replicate it within the hour.
Edit: Got it. Observed what was happening and will be uploading a save to Mantis now."""""""""
""""""= the original quote
Basically, the marauders are despawning as soon as they spawn in. Got screenshots and a save. It turns out that the marauders are spawning in as allies and warping away.
As for the save, just wait a few seconds for the bug to happen.
Please excuse my butchering of Marauders in the save-file name.

Technically the problem is a bit different. The Marauders don't seem to be able to detect what the human defenses are.
I iterate over all the planets and check the following
                Planet planet = galaxy.Planets[i];
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
                PlanetFaction controllingFaction = planet.GetPlanetFactionForFaction( planet.GetControllingFaction() );
                FInt hostileTotalStrength = planet.GetPlanetFactionForFaction( faction ).DataByStance[FactionStance.Hostile].TotalStrength;
                if(controllingFaction.Faction.Type == FactionType.Player && hostileTotalStrength < this.Data.Budget * this.Data.Braveness_Constant )
                 {
                             //This planet is a valid target because it's owned by the player and the hostile strength (aka the human defenders) are less than the budget available to the marauders
                             //unfortunately the hostileTotalStrength always seems to think that it's 0 and I don't know why
                  }

I need to figure out what's going on.

Badger, I wonder if the "disappearing as soon as they spawn" bit might also be related to what the nanocaust stuff is doing? Appear, fire off a shot, disappear. Suddenly there are nanocaust ships on the other planet, unexpectedly.

Completely unrelated. This bug was because I had messed up the logic in figuring out which planets marauders should attack, and also the conditions under which the marauders should leave. These were just dumb mistakes in basic functionality. The Nanocaust stuff is a much more complex and interesting bug, which is conveniently not in the Nanocaust code ;-)
