Design Hacking & ARS
« on: January 05, 2014, 06:52:52 pm »
Hi all,

I'm working my way through a spire campaign so I can play around with the new hacking mechanics. I hacked a Design Download to get Polarizers & Acid Sprayers from one backup (Everything AI) and then opened an ARS expecting to get Spire Stealth Battleships but got Acid Sprayers again! Is this working as designed (more FUN!) or should I of got the SSB?

I don't think it's working as intended. It's likely that the ARS code wasn't changed when hacking went in (since hacking isn't done going in yet) and it didn't take into account that you could get a ship some other way, so it gave you a duplicate by mistake.

Probably a bug.
