City artillery in FFA?

I was just in the FFA, and i found something i wasn't expecting to. I had a Condor medium hover tank and was dancing around a Vanguard, and i ended my movement one turn on hex 50, 50. After the firing phase, while i was scrolling through the results of the firefight, i saw the following:
Phase #2638
Please remember that people are always joining the tournament. You will not see new units on your map unless you refresh your browser by pressing F5. You may want to do this every few turns to see any new players that have joined.
City artillery has been destroyed!
I know that the defender class gets city artillery which can be destroyed by having an opposing unit stop on hex 50, 50, but in the FFA? I continued the fight, killing the vanguard, and running into a Vendette which took out my weapon systems. In CBT a gun less Condor is still a killer rabbit, likely to ram something important for quite a bit of damage, but i didn't have that option so i fled back to hex 50, 50, just to see what would happen. Spending three turns there waiting to die didn't produce any more artillery destruction; the artillery was definitely destroyed.
Which opens the question, when would it come back? When the FFA is reset? Does that even happen? I'm fairly sure the artillery doesn't do anything anyway, why is it there to begin with? The FFA is full of interesting bugs, like TP from the units there being coded the same as pirates; i guess this is just another one for the books.
Any information from anyone would be helpful

I would guess you just got a crossover message or something. It seems unlikely that there has never been a unit on 50,50 before.

I have actually been seeing the 50 50 artillery message in a lot of empires, whether or not the class points were assigned, or even when my units wasnt even spotted. Seems there was some sort of adjustment to the code along the way, and now you 'kill' the city artil no matter what as long as you are on the 50/50 spot at end of attack.
Unless someone finds a reason to bother with a ticket on this, I didnt think it was worth adding to WWS ever growing list of things to do.

Is it true? Do you really suck that bad??
