*** OPEN BETA UPDATES & DISCUSSION/BUG REPORTS VII ***

I have a bug that keeps occurring - relating to the Rally Offensive II selection:

If I activate a weapon system or all systems in my Victory III.
Then activate the rally offensive II
then hit the finish turn in the allocation phase - this happens
All of the weapons will go off line (embarrassing when you cannot fire when you in target position)
Any weapons that have been on activation for a number of turns this does not happen - its only newly activated weapons.
I know the solution is to hit rally before but you can change your mode of attack thinking.
Cheers Mav

 

Its a old bug : Activating Rally (either 1 or 2) reset the weapons power like it was at beginning of turn

 

Vesuvious i ve done the math in this thread here are the final balance numbers i came up with:

• t3: Points: 1
• t4: Points: 2
• t5: Points: 3
• t6: Points: 5
• t7: Points: 7
• t8: Points: 9
• t9: Points: 12
• t10: Points: 16

 

No opinion on T9/T10 but with current point distribution a t6 is worth 3 t3 but 3 t3 have no way to deal with a t6.

 

and another minor thing: achievements are a bit broken. just got bloodhound 2 after killing 4 ships due to their point costs

 

Something is very wrong here, 28 c8 in a tiny sector.

 

Brilliance..... utter brilliance... nearly.... only y a tiny adjustment it be made IN A FEW days. Or even weeks.... after.options and observations have enough time to be appreciated..... the recent changes in player behaviour, sector limits and ai have really started giving some traction..... STAY ON THE offensive.... STAY aggressive... learn to destroy the enemy quickly... I know the ai limiter still needs a little work.... but think about the newbies before asking for any more changes..... they now get to go on the offensive and the map slowly gets harder and harder for them..... they are no longer mobbed by desperate for xp older players..... because everyone is on the offensive...... sure highly tactical positions still need to be defended aggressively.... but we can let teams form and they learn to use terrain and all the bits that come with ......JUST stay on the offensive and the really skilled or high level pilots do the heavy lifting and don't bash average or some poor bugs newest ship back to the stone age...... yes a little more work is needed..... but in my opinion...... we will have all the live combat we need between equally viable players soon. The board should be a light show of offense.... because if some poor fool jumps into a battle that they should not... then they find out why.... but if it's not a nessacsy tactical objective then as a skilled player or big ship... go find the battle that you are needed in....

 

Had a probable genari player griefing with a sol player account. Player name Tazerface, joined a cut off sector with my ship and another ship destroying 1 tier 8 ai. He never fired for 8 turns and spend his full timer many times. This is not noob behavior. When I went to leave he flew right next to me and left right after. Here are the screen shots after the liverpool left from boredom.

 

Sector lock timer bug

 

hello, my elbe blew up while on support detail.
the lock out is in place.
I am unable to select my klondike as support craft now.

but the little elbe still appears to be following me around.

if i dont select support in dock it is gone,
if i select a different support it re-appears.
still cant select a different support.

after it died while been in support role, lock out timer restarted,
but ships still appears.


ves and team are legends.

 

Found a possible bug. My Genshai (support) died and got put on 60h cooldown. I can't fly it, but I can still take it out as support. Only it. Cannot select other ships for support role. Same as Ben, above, it seems.

 

The ghosting support ship is a known bug. The devs will have a fix for it on the next update. (Bug from the new permadeath removal patch).

Unable to move after trying to enter a cloud, was only allowed to leave when all enemy had left sector

 

some thing to consider for current gameplay. a c6 victory 3+c4 battalion4 (mine, with +2 dmg weapon upgrades) barely could break shields on a c7 sol with evasion and maybe shield upgrades. we did 1 or 2 damage to the hull, repaired next round. the c6+c4= 6 points, the c7 is 5 points. to consider: shield change and/or evasion should not work at point blank range (i know this is intended behavior, but at the moment it does not work like that).
this is just about number tweaks. i like the system otherwise.

 

In GW 2 i took dmg from front left and i got dmg on front right also from behind and got dmg front right.

 

the permadeath changes..... so we dont need to buy the ships again. That is a bit soft. BUT, if in full game it will still require credits to un-lock, i suppose is ok.
