*** CLOSED BETA UPDATES & DISCUSSION/BUG REPORTS V ***

Look at the shields???? I know xeen said if you let the allocation timer run out, sometimes you revert back to stock settings. I didn't let the timer run down. Not sure what that is

 

Are you saying that you had shields on the f/p side? That blue indicator does do its own thing sometimes.

 

I meant that I had full power on both shields I charged, only port front got 16 charge instead of 20.

Sounds like Shield Overcharge II wasn't working properly on that arc; if it repeats here and there, I'll make a ticket and see what the root cause is. -Vesuvius

 

Ya looks weird.

Already put in a JIRA report for the hex trace flaw (weapons and radar) when facing the border (your other screenshot). I think I posted it ~6 months ago It's not a huge problem, but definitely does need to be fixed. If you would turn left once, you would have vision and firing of front weapons on the expected tiles.

I think the hex trace checks along the forward direction first to see if the hex is valid for firing and/or vision, then branches to either side from there. So once it runs into the border of the sector, it can't go sideways to check those other tiles that you should be seeing. Instead, it should check forward then to the sides as well as sideways then forward from each valid hex, if you get what I mean. Or, make it so that the sector edge does not count as an obstruction to firing/vision, just impassible. Or it could be something else entirely causing the problem

I don't think you can see that problem on a planet or rock in the map though, only the border, which is weird.

-Yes, that is a problem still, the original programmer needs to fix that -- It actually has an impact on my map making as well, where larger planets will create these large angular voids that I have to correct, always at the edge of a border. -Vesuvius

 

Is something different? the game has been lagging bad today. Or is it my crappy internet again,lol.

-Played now, very smooth like normal -Vesuvius

 

Probably my connection.

 

Finally got a Himjei!!!! During the next to last round after firing 5 of 10 weapons I suddenly got an invalid target, the rest of my salvo was lost

-Almost sounds like the Himjei was destroyed, but the client didn't catch it right. Nova vs. Himjei I assume. -Vesuvius

 

Nova is correct, it was one or two turns before I destroyed Himjei. My total damage that turn allowing for miss percent should have brought it down to 18-35 hull. Letting me kill it next turn. However with invalid target, the station still had 60+ hull, so it took a little more time, lol. First invalid target in the middle of a turn. I have had several at the beginning and a few after I moved into some debris, but never while sitting in on spot and just turning so aft would bear.

Also, it looks like the Himjei was counted on the stations destroyed but not on enemy AI destroyed. Is this correct? If so why have class XI and above on ships destroyed?
-Yes, stations aren't counted as AI ships. As for class XI and above for ships destroyed; that needs to be removed (though in the future Hive has XI ships). -Vesuvius

Different inquiry; for a while I saw a lot of Yamato AI's, now its back to all heavy cruisers.
-Stations generate defenses over time, they can deplete their ships -Vesuvius

 

chat window flashes every time you change maps. even when no one is chatting.

-That's a fix that is coming possibly as early as Tuesday. -Vesuvius

 

Nice new graphics! VERY cool!

Found a new one, did the marine pod visuals not show anymore? Just launched 2, got my honor points but no visual launch

Genari tutorial is bugged, unable to complete, repair weapon bug, weapon is not damaged. Screen shot shows it.

-Thanks for the info, reporting these bugs now. -Vesuvius

 

Awesome, some fixes and changes that we've talked about for quite awhile!

Was the server reset?

 

Hey I recognize that script

 

I do notice that the laser beams look better now. I wonder if the missiles can be made to look more brilliant when they are more powerful?

-One of the other special effects I'd like to add later, but not sure when. -Vesuvius

 

I only received 52 honor points for destroying a class 7 ship with a class 3. I got more than that with my nova destroying a Montana.

-What ship did you destroy? It might have had the XP entry done wrong in the admin. -Vesuvius

 

Bigger missiles/torpedos for the massive ones or a salvo of smaller ones (graphically, but then they would really need a % chance for each individual missile to hit) would be cool.

 

Also the shadow cruiser is showing class XIV on hover card.
