[Bug] The infected crew member becomes crazed...

[pouzzler]

And attacks.

This event just fired, and a mantis crew member disappeared from my crew, however a human attacks me. Either genetics have had some startling progress in the next few centuries, or it should have been a bug attacking ME, not my computer

Sadly, our scripting language isn't fancy enough to handle that... and since that behaviour (your crew becomes evil) is only present in one event it hasn't been worth adding it. Maybe it's something that can be fixed as a low priority issue in a future patch.

Thanks for taking the time to report it though!

Might something like this be possible?

Or just change the flavor text to be about a crazed stowaway who kills the first crewmember to discover him.

I've actually fixed it on my end now with a new tag in the xml scripting. It'll be in the next patch (no ETA)
