I've been attacking a Beta Class Pirate Station lately, and after a while finally got the turrets and armor gone. Now just to clear out the shield capacitors and rechargers, and I wanted to use my new Missile-Beams on it. I noticed that when I hit the station with the missiles, it doesn't call backup but with Cannon-Cannon it does. I don't know if this bug has already been addressed or not.
Edit
Summary of problems:
- Some weapons do not cause the spawning of response fleets
- response fleets can spawn off by two sectors and thus never arrive at all (especially with high sector sizes, it is not helping to spawn them 200km away. =)
