My fleets won't Budge

...they rarely move

from GalCiv2 Forums
I'm sure I made a thread about this before, but I can't for the life of me find it, so I'll keep thing's short -

My fleets refuse to move for many turns on end, seemingly random, and certainly often: their movement points are stuck at 0/9 etc for every 5/6 turns.

This is VERY annoying, war is rendered impractical

Little help/acknowledgement here? It's hardly a performance related issue (everything else runs incredibly smoothly) so it would seem a serious bug.

Thanks,

Fachen

Make certain you didn't set them to guard. They skip their movement points every turn unless an enemy ship enters their sensor range.

Disband and recreate the fleet, it's a bug that is caused by moving one ship to its max range and then moving the rest to it (with some moves left) and making a fleet out of them. At that point you fleet will go to 0 moves as it is limited to the least moves of the ship in the fleet, but for some reason they don't refresh correctly. It seems to happen when you fleet up the same class of ships with varying move amounts.

I've not done it that way, but I have, quite regularly moved a ship its max movement to fleet it with others. At that time I get to move the whole fleet an entire movement set. eg: move a 9 movement ship to two others, fleet them and move the fleet 9 more.

I've yet to run into a bug where my ships refuse to move after being given a move order.

The bug is the turns not really ending.
Watch the date, it won't advance (even though something move about and others get their movment points back......)
Just keep smacking the turn button till they move, that's about all you can do till they fix the game.

Yeah, I've seen this a lot. Like Reyals says, the turn doesn't end, it's almost like you're being made to perform movement in stages. I kind of like the idea if you could work in some initiative factor, but I think it's actually a bug.

Thanks, is there any word on this being fixed in 1.1?
