Reported in 1.9.5 before (
http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?topic=11298.msg133819#msg133819), and reproduced in 1.10.0.
4 bugs can be reproduced by the attached DB:
- Beam weapons do not automatically engage incoming missiles when in area PD mode
- Beam weapons can fire multiple within the same 5s tick under Area PD mode if a salvo is manually targeted and BFC is ordered to open fire
- Probably as a result of the above bug, beam weapon power consumption is weird. They do not fire every tick when they should.
- When Area PD hits targets, the energy impacts shown on the tactical map are on the firing fleet, rather than the target missiles.

What you were doing at the time -testing
Conventional or TN start - TN
Random or Real Stars - Real
Is your decimal separator a comma? - No
Is the bug is easy to reproduce, intermittent or a one-off? - Easy
If this is a long campaign - say 75 years or longer - N/A
This is our (unfortunate) test subject. Note that, all its beam weapon has a ROF of 5 and the power plant has enough power for all of them.

In the attached DB, the scenario has been set up. 15 salvos of missiles are detected by this ship, belonging to the Martian Republic. Advance the time a bit so the salvos are within its PD fire range, and reverse its course (towards Mars). The ship and missiles have the same speed, so once this step is done, they will remain in range.
The BFC for this ship has been set up for area PD. However, it does not auto fire as seen in the first attached picture.
If a salvo is manually targeted, and the BFC is ordered to open fire, the BFC fires all weapons at each salvo once in the same tick, as seen in the second attached picture.
After this, if time is advanced furthermore, it can be observed that not all weapons will fire in the following ticks. In my test, the particle beams fired 4 ticks after the initial salvo. This is shown in the 3rd attached picture.
And finally, in the above 2 screenshots, the energy contacts are drawn on the fleet itself rather than the missile salvos.
The DB is attached.
