Oh, that is new... well... there a way you could add that information into a warning?
It shouldn't be new. If VB6 does it differently I can change it.
Yeah, I meant, never recognised it in VB6 - though I don't recall being in a deficit there very often. Therefore new to me ;-)
I wouldn't change it per se. It might have a well based reason which is not obvious right now. We should take a look into the complete mechanics here. Ground Units usually don't cost training and maintenance when they are inside a PDC. Maybe that is a reason why Steve did this in the first place. Or we should ask him for the background of this mechanic. I guess it is still in C# also?!? Does he read here in this part of the forum?
Aha! There's the bug. Ground units inside PDC's still had maintenance cost when they should have been free. This is fixed in version 161 which is available now.
This should ease your debt problems, and stop those replacements from being gobbled up.
When ground units are *not* in PDCs, I think it makes sense for replacements to being consumed to fill the readiness loss caused by the debt. "Readiness" is flexible for RP purposes. I think of it as, among other explanations, vehicles breaking down, uniforms getting torn, and the reserve stockpiles being raided for replacement parts.
Also, note that the maintenance cost of ground units is multiplied by their readiness, so as their readiness falls, they become cheaper to maintain.
Sector size isn't being calculated correctly in the assign system to sector window. My capital has size 10 radius 4 sector capital, but it is treated as radius 9.
Edit: wow, there is more going on than I realized. When I was previewing the post I noticed that the name for the capital doesn't match. The name should be Kleczanow. The name displayed in the name for the body for a different race (I have 2 races that can see the system). Database attached just in case.
Fixed in version 161 which is available now.
Found and fixed a few other bugs while investigating these, take a look at the patch notes if you're interested
