Ordinance bug?

aegisx · #1 October 20th, 2006, 02:13 PM

I have a fleet with 3 supply ships. They were parked at a planet, so I did Transfer cargo and filled them up with ordinance (the fleet screen showed ordinance was now full). I have a ship join the fleet and now all those supply ships have no ordinace (each had 850). The planet doesn't seem to have gotten them back. The ships I added only have room for 500 total. Where did my ordinance go?

As far as I can tell, the game is filling up the lower-ordinence (and maybe supply, haven't checked) ships without checking to see if they are full. Then the "extra" that was loaded in gets dropped and the process repeats.

I just moved the fleet to a planet with 8k ord, when I got there it showed I was full (4500/4500), I hit the turn button... next turn I am back to not having any of my supply ships filled (1900/4500).

I just loaded my small freighters up with 850 ord a pience (I have 3). They showed full, I moved them off the planet and toward a warp point. Next turn all the freighters have 0 ord. Going to be hard to fight a war with no ammo.

I moved the freighters to their own fleet, they are getting ord fine now. However I cannot get my missile frigates to keep any ord, they are dropping down to 0 every turn.

Where can this bug report be sent, or have one you sent it already?

You can email them to se5 at malfador dot com.

Sent it in. Hopefully they find it, as I can't really play much until it is fixed.

I sent in a save game too. Did you send a save game?

Some have reported that if you don't create a fleet, it isn't a problem. Just select all ships together, they stay together. You don't get fleet experience, but thats the only downside while we wait for a patch, iirc.

Yah, quite a bit of problems with fleets. In my case when i started fighting with them they actually *flew away* from the enemy ships, even though the strategy was set to 'Optimal firing range', as were all the ships' strategies. Stopped using fleets after that.
