As the title says, I have an outpost (ownership is mine) with 0 drillers holding a resigned player's sentry and smuggler. Before he resigned, he sent a sub with 56 drillers at that outpost, then resigned mid-travel. Before he resigned, I could still schedule an order for the 2 captured specs to be released (so that his sentry wouldn't affect my recapture of that outpost). However, after his resignation, I could no longer schedule orders for the 2 specs to be released, even though the outpost still belongs to me. Now I will have to get more forces to recapture the outpost because of his now liberated sentry.
Is this a known problem?
