3 New Possible BUGS!!

from Stardock Forums

I'm playing a match just now and i've noticed three things. Not major but annoying none the less.

1) Those invulnerable extractors that are nuetral, If the enemy team has captured one of those, and you send in 20 arcova scouts to clear mines, all 20 scouts try to use timed explosives on the extractor. Not a big problem but it's kinda frustrating having to turn off auto use timed explosives so that they will clear the mines. (timed explosives don't work on the extractor by the way. They just hover around it and keep trying. Even ignoring the fact they are being shot at.)

2) The KOL Gauss main gun thing? After the new patch when it deals damage it's supposed to damage the engines. I have 3 KOL's all level 10, When attacking another CAP ship i've made all three fire at the same time and according to the little flash card that pops up for the enemy ship it has

ENGINE -300%    Or something similar. Basically it says the engine on the enemy ship is dead 3 times over..... But it keeps moving.? To the point where i'll hit it. and it will travel to the edge of the grav well and jump. This does not happen always. only on occasion.

3) Minor really. I have a computer ally who every now and then jumps to one of my planets and tells me i'd better look at it cos he's gonna take it? The teams are fixed. I know he can't take it. But when he jumps in with a huge fleet (He's set to unfair) I still double check to make sure i'm not getting humped. He never actually does take my planet just mouths off that he will. If he's fixed as my ally then surely he shouldn't be saying he's going to take my planet from me.

Anyway, all these things are just minor really. I don't care if they get fixed. This game is awesome, just thought i'd let someone know and see if they have these problems and if the devs wan't to fix them.

Cheers.

This has happened as long as i can remember, that message gets sent quite often when allied ships are aproaching my planets.

It's not a bug but a feature... He is just keeping you on your toes, making sure you are not falling asleep. ^_^

ENGINE -300%
Formula is (1/(1+X)). So that leaves the ship at 1/4 speed.

1. herm... ya that is intresting... you could send in a colony ship and take it back... but ya... that does seem... not buggy... but an AI issue.

2. this is simple, and expected... when you have your donov doing its flux field... that 300% antimatter cost does not mean that anti-matter is free 300% over... it actually means that the cost for antimatter has been reduced by 300%... or the cost is now 25% of what it was before (25%+300%*25% = 100%)  so... when that enemy ship says 100% speed reduced... that means it now is going 1/2 as fast... 300% means 1/4 as fast.  just lke the enforcers ablity that slows down enemy ships... it says it slows down ships by 100%... but you will notice that your ships move at 1/2 speed.... makes running away much harder, but still possible.

 

3. ya... everyone has known about this for a long while... generally what happens is that you conqured a planet and the ai still had a fleet on its way to conqure it... the ai (finally) arrives, and says its thing, and then is like... herm... thats no longer an enemy planet... and does something else.  best cure for this: play online.

Oh well. That clears them up. Cheers for the replies. Like i said, these are minor. Interesting about the -300% stuff. I never knew that. You learn something new everyday. lol

What is it you have against nerds, Erictred1? Nerds made this game for you. Be nice to them.
