[bug] colonizing with capital ship bypasses research requirements for planet development

from Sins2 Forums

Steam Build ID 15537750

 

Reproduction steps:

- Load save (vasari alliance)

- check that only "primordial occupation" research is completed

- zoom in to main fleet (chodas system)

- abandon planet (primordial)

- colonize it again with evacuator (lvl 3 colonize ability)

 

Expected behavior:

- planet colonized at mining level 1 (mining development capacity as per current research level)

- attempting to upgrade to higher level requires prerequisite research

 

Actual behavior:

- planet colonized at mining level 3

- planet mining level can be upgraded to level 4 without research

Hello! I believe this is by design as  an economy feature for Vasari, or colony capital ships in general, as other capital ships can bypass the limitation as well. But I'll circle in and ask the team to be sure

Yes this is working as intended, the level 3 colonize skill provides 3 free mining levels

So, are there any plans to allow the Advent Mothership to give Asteroids research levels? O:)
