Tach nuke issue
« on: August 27, 2011, 03:07:58 pm »
Ok, I have an eye with 8 GPs supporting it.  1 is a lvl 3 cloaked GP.  I send in a lvl 1 tach nuke, it detonates, but the GP stays cloaked.  I have tried 6 time and every time I get nothing.  Not even the ships which the GP is cloaking uncloak.  Is this because my nuke is lower lvl than the GP?  That isn't mentioned in any of the descriptions I have read.

The tachyon warhead.

oh, Interesting. I know that some units are immune to tachyon beams (I think they are called perma-cloaked) But I also think that the cloaking super-booster gives the same effect. This unfortunately means that you are unable to reveal it unless you use an EMP warhead, or move ships close enough to attack it. I am not certain, so hopefully a Dev can help explain this.

Tachyon warheads are really supposed to uncloak _all_ AI ships.  Can you post a save?

How do I do that?

Would you a save before and after?

A save from before detonating the tachyon would be good (if you've already set one off that's fine, but with another one ready), and you can post it by replying here, clicking the "Additional Options" link below the post-typing-box, then "Browse" under "Attach", select the save (in your AI War directory under RuntimeData/Save), and click ok, then submit the post.

Thanks :)

Ok, will do.  Give me a few minutes to make sure I haven't done anything stupid.

Thx anyway.

A restart really shouldn't have changed anything, but I'm glad it's working :)

It just failed again.  Does it have to do with whether or not I have other ships on the planet?  What about how it is destroyed?  That is, does it matter which AI ship destroys the the warhead?

Is a warhead intereptor present? If it's destroying the missile, it will not do damage/whatever effect it is supposed to take.

I can already tell this is going to be a roller coaster ride of disappointment.

The warhead gets destroyed, the screen shows the +1 to progress and flashes as if the tach nuke had gone off.  Also, it has worked once.
