Just gonna point it out, the owner information doesn't update properly when colonizing a planet, at least in this case it was like that.

yah, that's "the other bug" this game has....
...where some stuff is updated after the script sends a response back to the player...


another example of this bug is when you attack a single-player npc... the combat log stays one attack behind when the attack response is sent to your screen... but if you close the npc window and re-open it, the missing last attack is shown in the log as well

Yeah, I noticed a few of these. There's no scripts updating current content, only updates server data.

Oh I thought the glitch was getting xp lol. It's not like YOU personally are the one setting up the colony, your minions do it

That's not a glitch. While you're fighting an NPC or player, the last attack is the one that shows up on top of the screen. You know? The number inside that big explosion bubble?

ah, but when you fight an elite or boss your last attack is immediately added to the totals in the combat log tab...
inconsistency in handling/displaying data
