Title: Automated Turn Interupt
Post by: Kurt on May 29, 2010, 05:03:00 PM

This isn't really a bug, so I'm posting here.  

I'd really, really like the automated turn interrupt to work for all non-NPR races.  Currently it seems to only work for the active non-NPR race.  Unfortunately, this means that if one of the other non-NPR races has an interrupt event, the time advance doesn't stop.  This usually is just a minor annoyance, but in this case it is much more problematic.  

While playing with the Terrans active, I hit the time advance with the automated turns check box checked.  Shortly thereafter a Zog survey ship detected an alien ship, and then came under fire, all without an interrupt occuring.  Fortunately it was just a survey ship, and not a major fleet, so it could have been a lot worse.  

Ideally the interrupt should work for all non-NPR races, IMO.

That's how it works for v5.14. All player races generate interrupts.

SIGH!  Once again caught behind the update curve!

5.14 has other, very significant problems, however.
