rally post...
« on: January 07, 2011, 09:39:19 am »
Hi guys! I'm just try to use rally posts mobile and redirector.
What is the use of putting a rally post in attack move or FRD move? I noticed that the ships just reach their position without changing "move mode" whatever "move mode" I assign to the rally post.
What I would like is that, when I'm in enemy territory and my ships are coming from near planet to support the battle, they should go to rally post in normal move mode and when reached their position could change to attack move automatically... is it possible?

Afaik, just a way to identify them, changing color to purple, yellow or none.

I'm pretty sure the actual use is not a way to identify them. Either they are not applying the new stance (and should be), or should not be able to be set to a different stance in the first place.

This is a good question. The in game descriptions were a little vague on this so I checked the wiki. Unfortunately http://arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=AI_War_-_Rally_Posts ... is blank at the moment. It does seem like the way you describe them should be the way they should work, since it seems like they are intended to act like other immobile structures that can be given move orders and then pass the move orders on to their subordinate ships. My bet is some sort of bug.

(Insert time that I got distracted and searched for a bit here)
