Warp Sensor/Jammer Issues
« on: October 30, 2009, 04:11:51 pm »
Dunno if any of these are intended, but we noted in a recent game against a Backdoor Hacker AI that warp sensors don't indicate waves coming from the exo-galaxy wormhole near starting command posts.  Or from warp gates that are left up in captured planets for that matter.

Additionally, warp jammers don't stop waves from coming through the backdoor wormhole either.

The above + the massive waves the backdoor hacker tends to send makes me think that it might be more of a hard type AI  :'(

The jammer one might be intended (though I think the argument that it should jam them is a good one), while the other sounds like a bug. I'll move this to confirmed bugs for now.

Those are both intended.  The exo-galaxy wormhole is something completely other than a regular wormhole, and can't be detected or blocked like other wormholes.  However, if you have an advanced warp sensor and a wave is coming to a planet and none of the wormholes are flashing, it's pretty clear where it is coming from.
