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

I seem to be unable to launch marine pods at a station now.

Change that, can't use marine pods vs anything.

 

Getting incorrect movement points during combat phase.

Allocate power and display correctly says 16 MP, 13 during combat for some reason. This sort of bug seems to happen when there is a large power change that involves the upper or lower regions of power capacity within the boosted range.

104 base power + 30% = 135, so if I setup power to 105 and higher or 31 and under, I may get this bug. Not 100% sure on how it happens yet, just a sort of trend I'm noticing.

May have something to do with the game not knowing/allowing movement points in excess of base-engine-power determined MP.


Hmm, just had 96 power for 12 movement, used Rally and ended up at 16?

 

Clicking End Turn when your phase has expired (waiting for animations to play out) produces a General Error

 

Being hit when near a station (weapons are firing from a high angle of incidence) causes the shield bubble graphic to display at a corresponding angle and looks weird. It seems that the angle of the hit received determines the bubble effect, and most ships and weapons fired are on the grid as opposed to way above like a station.

 

Drones and Station on the inner most (last) map of a multimap sector are not giving CP.

Does not appear to be possible to capture the multimap sector.

 

Flagging an invalid target message for attempting to fire a weapon at an already destroyed target appears to make all the rest of your weapons 'duds' for the round.

 

Chance to have a system damaged (shield, weapon, engine, scanner, crew) needs to be determined by magnitude of damage penetrating shield (if any or all) and the size of the ship hull.

-It is actually. The higher the damage from one hit, the more chance it affects a system. -Vesuvius

If you blast a ship with an overloaded 48 damage missile and it has ~80 hull, it should be a guaranteed system damage (or max 95% when at 50% of MaxHull in one shot or greater).

If a ship gets hit for 1 damage through shielding vs 144 hull, it should be zero or minimum (5%?) chance to take system damage when the hit is less than ~5% of the MaxHull.

 

Am I the only person that loves hidey holes like this? More please. So rare to find cover a cat would appreciate.

 

AI seems to hang during allocation if engines are badly damaged.

Back to waiting full 60 seconds.

 

Himeji Defense Platform XI does not appear to be repairing. Seems I was able to knock out the shield gen.

 

Sometimes upon entering a new hostile sector after a previous battle, I'm stuck on infinite load screen while the game continues in the background (transit in, phases cycle, can hear things happening but seeing load screen and circle timer)

 

AmishJoe Wuss-out Counter: 49

 

Suggestion: Allow players to occupy same tile as debris from destroyed ship, move debris down low onto the grid and outward to edges of hex if possible, tile provides a 10% evasion bonus and a 5% accuracy penalty, fixes the 'rubberbanding' problem when detecting an enemy while navigating through a currently passable, but unable to be occupied debris tile.

 

The bear was poked one too many times.

 

Server down?

 

Sol tutorial has some minor flaws such as:

In one of the early frames, voice says 'will' and script says 'can'

In a later frame about movement, you have the ship stated as having 18 movement points when it only has 14 after powering scanners (18 normal max), a bit of a mislead

...continuing tutorial...

Looks and sounds pretty good for the most part. You went with 'Now' a lot

 

SoS: NPC ships are taking full combat phases even though they are supposedly entering warp, sometimes multiple of them on a map (after just transiting in?! they weren't on the map to begin with).

It's not too bad to wait a minute apiece if they never come back to the area, but atm, it seems pretty pointless to have them transit in only to immediately warp out and waste several minutes while being impossible to ever find.

Second round of combat and THE DIRECTOR IS FREAKIN' OMG THE TRANSITS

Standby for screenshot...

 

~30 of the bastards warped in, and my entire allocation phase was consumed with transit notices (I could still modify power)

Now I would have to wait 30 minutes to play the round. Not happening. I'm out until this is fixed! (And I'm a little mad the plug got pulled right before I completed my blockade!)

PS - Why wasn't the server time reset? I had it beat in ~10 days but had some fun for another 10.
