Enemy Dyson Gatlings dont lose health over time

[WinterBorn]

In my last game (1st game with the expansion) I temporarily capped the Dyson system to get knowledge from an adjacent planet. 6 or more hours later enemy Dyson Gatling ships showed up near my home planet at near full health. They were not flashing like the reguar friendly Dyson ships do once they leave the home system and only lost health when one of my turrets or ships would fire on them.

Is it expected that enemy Dyson Gatling ships do not decay away from their home system like their friendly brothers?

Also in the AAR forum one of the posts(http://arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,3513.0.html) talked of capturing Gatlings with Leach star ships but the tool tip with a Leach Starship selected hovering over a Dyson gatling indicated a 0% chance of damage -- Have Gatlings become uncapturable? Am I just misreading the tooltip?


Thanks for sharing a great game with us.

Yes, yes it is  Bwahahaha

That said, we are listening to balance comments on that.

Edit: oh, and they were never intended to be reclaimable (leech/parasite), but there was a time before that fix.  Lancefighter has not yet forgiven us, I think.

No I have not, those things were awesome, if a tad OP when it came to killing everything non-core. (which oddly didn't include core home stations, as you might have noticed )

Well, the Dyson spawn were more of a nusance than threat because they never attacked my com station in the three systems they wandered into/through. They just wasted the turrets and ships I had posted, but as soon as they wandered back out the rebuilders do what rebuilders do ... rebuild ....

oh.. you didn't make the dyson angry..

thats when the fun starts

I think hostile dysons should lose health aswell because you can just clear the system and some adjacent systems and plunk a com station in it. Since angry dysons don't attack com stations (or do they?) they would just spawn and run rampant through the galaxy like happy dysons did before. Only now they are a threat to you too, so baton down the hatches.

They don't at the moment.

I'm glad I made you smile.
LOL
Probably a very big evil smile.
