Silly Space Tug!
« on: June 17, 2010, 06:52:55 pm »
I have two MRS near two different wormholes.  They're a fair distance apart.

Reclaimed a ship, it flew towards the nearest one.  The other (older) one had a few space tugs spawned.  Which promptly went "INJURED SHIP!  MUST RETRIEVE!" and dragged it from one MRS to the other.

Is there any way that the tugs could ignore any (not already) tugged ship that is currently being repaired?

That would need to be a control node, as some folks may be relying on the existing behavior, but I suppose it is possible (might be a bit tricky to get quite what you want, though, as what happens when a tug starts going after something that starts getting repaired shortly thereafter, etc).
Have ideas or bug reports for one of our games? Mantis for Suggestions and Bug Reports. Thanks for helping to make our games better!

space tug overiding the auto search for mrs power, i do think this is a unintended feature . cause i don't know how to use that to my advantage :D


I just hope space tugs don't steal other's customers.

I wouldn't mind that so much, just that the newer MRS was in range of all the ships that I was reclaiming, but the other MRS's tugs were zipping over and grabbing them.
