A weird bug
from
Stardock Forums
I am not exactly sure how to describe this bug without confusing you peeps, but I will give it a go. In my last game, I had a total of 4 terror stars. One terror star without a stacked escort, one with a single battle hammer escort, and 2 with a set of stacked rangers. Now with the stacked terror star with ranger escorts is were the bug happens.
A stacked fleet of rangers plus terror star moves at the speed of the rangers at (ranger speed+ speed enhances)/1. After it moves this, the stacked ships, and not the terror star will continue to move the full amount as if they themselves haven’t moved yet. I then click on the terror star, to turn auto pilot for the terror star off, and the ships will return to the terror star as a stacked fleet again. The next turn, the bug will repeat.
Second scenario, includes terror star with stacked rangers. I click a far distance across the map to auto pilot to. The terror star will move like above (ranger speed+ enhancements)/1 then the ships will continue as if they hadn’t moved. Now here is the difference. I don’t click on the terror star, but instead leave it, plus the stacked ships to continue on there way. The terror star will then return to a 1/1 movement while the stacked rangers will continue to move at ranger speed. Once the stack ships get to their destination, I have control of them as normal stacked ships, while the terror star will continue to auto pilot at 1/1 speed.
Now I hope I didn’t confuse too many peeps. I am going to reload the game and try and see if I can get it to reproduce with the other 2 terror stars, as well as try it with other ships. It might just have been this game so I will see if I can reproduce it next time I get terror stars and rangers in another game. The game was started after upgrading to version 1.03.054. If anymore info is needed, or you’re confused on something I typed, just ask.
