Bugs in older version (2.3.1) / Re: 50 Hours of Bug Notes

I tried to duplicate the failed alien transfer to no avail. In regards to that, I never received the full containment, which base would you like to send them too message. They would haul the captives back to base with its full containment and... Put them outside and told them to stay out of trouble? Turned them loose in the political theatre? Quietly offed them and sold the meat on the black market? Your guess would be as good as mine. Quite possible they died and got added to the pile of corpses without my noticing. I was not checking the corpse count before and after. However, I did get a similar message asking which base I wanted to send the corpses too if I launched a ground assault from a base without a containment unit. Corpses were delivered just fine.
On a similar note, I was forced to alter the flight path of the drop ship on its way home to avoid a tangle with a fighter. Apparently the pilot saw fit to dump all cargo to expedite the course change. When the drop ship returned to base there was nothing on board. No alien weapons. No corpses. No live mechanical spider which I had just seen for the first time. Nothing.
So after the freaky misplaced mechanical spider incident... One of my bases was assaulted. Base 5, S. Africa. However, it looked like just a regular terror site so I launched an intercept from another base. It was not until I was getting ready to deploy I noticed the heading said Base Attack. Looking at the map it was North-East of Base 5. Did the attack, and walked away with a new needler gun and particle pistol. Several combats later I noticed the red ring around that base. Looking into it, I realize it is still listed as being under attack??
Attached is the log and save file.
