MULTIPLEX TRACKING, MYSTERY SOLVED (DOH!)
Hey all, how many threads went on and on about multiplex tracking? well my ship just blew up five targets in one turn. On auto. HUH?
In strategies there's that little tab called "damage". In there there's even smaller "Damage Percent Per Ship". Set it down to like 20%. You'll see.

Re: MULTIPLEX TRACKING, MYSTERY SOLVED (DOH!)
Multiplex tracking used to have a bug where the AI would ignore it in strategic combat and only ever fire on one ship per round, regardless of any extra weapons. I haven't seen any evidence to the contrary, and can't test anything until tomorrow anyways.

Re: MULTIPLEX TRACKING, MYSTERY SOLVED (DOH!)
i just ran some more testing. works wonders.
example: turn starts. ship fires at target #1. Kills it. Moves to second. Fires the remaining weapons.

Re: MULTIPLEX TRACKING, MYSTERY SOLVED (DOH!)
works in strategical, as far as i can tell.
EDIT: it does, no other way a ship armed with 4 WMG's (ROF3) could exterminate a fleet of 20 ships (escort w/ control components, nothing more) in 23 turns. in both strategic and tactical.
edit2: ship gets into firing range within like 14 turns so that'll be like 9-10 turns to kill them all.

Re: MULTIPLEX TRACKING, MYSTERY SOLVED (DOH!)
further proof:
1 base loaded with 23 massive mesons (all electronics and two shields)
23 frigates armed with a single APB (bridge, crew quarters, life support, 6xquantum engine, solar sail)
with multiplex:
tactical: all enemy ships die on turn 11
strategoca: all enemy ships die on turn 11
without multiplex:
tactical: base dies on turn 15
strategical: base dies on turn 15

How can that be? In 10 turns that is 4 salvos (on turns 1, 4, 7, and 10) with 4 WMG's = 16 shots. ot should take at least 3 mone turns to get of enough shots to tag all 20. Are you sure about the closing time? Or is something weird going on?
