3.0 Bugs

I had a battle in which one side never fired, even though event log entries show a 100% chance to hit. The ship designs in the fight were

3 Woden

Initial range was 45k with the Hathari (Side 1), orbiting a moon of the Darkmoor planet (Side 2). The Hathari opened fire with 2 salvoes of 4 AS-1 Glaive. At that point, the Darkmoor opened fire and closed to 20,000 km. The Tatsumaki were configured for PD. With no fire from the Wodens, the Darkmoor closed to 0 km. After the first Woden blew, the Tatsumaki were reconfigured to fire offensively. Neither the Wodens or the Tatsumakis ever fired once even though Active sensors were active on both sides, and firing orders were given, along with targeting information.

Both sides could see each other, as I kept getting tech scan events. The Darkmoors collected around 400pts on Fuel Efficiency 1 during the battle.
Is there something I'm missing completely, or is this some bizarre bug?

From what I can tell it is torpedos and gauss cannons that are not firing. The Darkmoor lost a second fleet (6 Woden) to the Hathari with no shots fired by the Darkmoor. They've since created a laser armed ship and started production on it. The Hathari are waiting on Troop transports to be built (and facing a severe mineral crunch). The new Darkmoor design incorporates lasers and GC for point defense.

Using the Renumber button on the ship class screen results in duplicates.

I renumbered my Alacorns on upgrade to Alacorn B's. I then proceded with new construction. The new units have the same numbers as the old Alacorns.

Though hitting the renumber again fixed the issue.

Out of curiousity, what do the logs say about what is going on?  Are the ships targeting each other, but not firing?  Do the logs give any hint about what is going on?

The logs show the ship not firing even though they are in range and greater than 0% to hit.

I should have exported the log and saved that part but didn't think of it until it was long gone. And I just checked the db, it gets wiped out of there too. The Hathari are planning to go back into the Darkmoor system soon (as soon as the Jenner C's are done with refits). I'll Fast OOB some Woden's into the Darkmoor fleet, since I've only been building the new Gotterdammerung class.

[Erik L]

Here's a screen of the duplicate weapons on the Combat screen.

The selected ship is one of the Jenner C's. The Jenner C refit the Jenner B with newer armor and replaced the VL lasers with UV lasers.

As a side to the above, hitting clear resets it.

[Erik L]

When using the SM Race option on creating a starting game, when you rename the homeworld, it does it for the SM Race, not the created race.

[Erik L]

Adding EM and Thermal scanners to missiles adds not the MSP used but the strength of the scanner to the missile.

[Erik L]

If you hit Add Task on the shipyard for a refit and there is no ship in orbit, you get a task of "Refit ship x to ship y - No ship in orbit".

I've not checked to see if this will "grow" a new ship, but I suspect it might. Or crash horribly.

This design is classed as a fighter for production and combat purposes


Then created a carrier. The Fighter/Ordnance tab shows a size per fighter of 4.8 which seems right. However the carrier display shows a size per fighter of 5.8.

Got a fleet of 5 construction ships. Attached a tanker since they are light in the fuel storage area. Conditional order to refuel at nearest tanker when under 20%.

They ran out of fuel, even though the tanker is at 98%. The construction ships did not refuel from their own tanker.

They ran out of fuel, even though the tanker is at 98%. The construction ships did not refuel from their own tanker.

I changed the conditional to refuel at nearest tanker in 4 jumps and they used their own tanker to refuel.

It seems that the colony check takes precedence over the tankers. Maybe swap that around?

[Erik L]

There's something wrong with the "Load colonists at Capital (max 4 jumps)" order. I've got a chain that looks like this:

Capital --- Sys 1 --- Sys 2 --- Colony

Sys 2 has a colony with ~10m pop and is a sector capital. The colony fleet will take colonists from the Capital and unload them at the colony, but then generates an event saying "No acceptable destination in range". By my count that's only 3 hops and should be in range. Unless it is counting the sector as a capital rather than the Imperial capital?

Every time I advance the game 30 days, I get a ERROR 3421 was generated by DAO.Field data type conversion error.

On the error box, it will say Error in (something). That will help Steve find it
