A very rare bug that wont probibly be repeated very often.

Ok there were 4 of us. We were on the map blue amber. I was dominion. Xergel was rommulan. Majormagna was feds, and Shadowblade was Feds. We were doing an ffa. Sent a construction ship down to a very distant corner of the map and built a starbase, while I rammed everyone elses ships with bugs.  Both Major and Shadow (the feds quoincidentaly) have low detail on their graphics card.
...Still follow?

And somehow both of them, at the same instant saw all my bases and everything and knew the location of all my minning. (which was by then over half of the map) Which spoiled the wholes secret darn

this actually no bug. if an enemy player boards and takes one of your stations (that's what probably did happen) they are able to see all your stations/units for a very brief time.

I'd just like to say that, I didn't board any enemies ships or stations. Yet I could still see the stations of enemies where I had not yet explored.

A few minutes later, I saw Shadowblades stations too... (Incedentally about a minute before it was wiped out by Breen... I wonder, who killed his last ship? 

EDIT: I still think it was something to do with Xergel's Shrike...

Yes I know that, but why would an enemies Shrike show me where other enemies bases are?

Hmm, were you federation?  I can't think of any weapon that would do that, Maybe it is a bug with the spy weapon?  That might explain it.

what about the fourth player then, maybe he tried to board a station? i cant think of anything else what may have caused that.

Ok. Let me make this clear... Nobody took any of my stations. They destroyed them, but never took them.

ok, then we will just ignore that for now until someone else experiences something similar
