Z Polarizer Attacking Fortress Issue
« on: January 01, 2010, 02:34:42 pm »
It seems like this unit is having some problems attacking fortresses--while it will attack once when issued an attack order against a fortress, it will stop firing even when reloaded.  It doesn't attack it automatically, either.

Mysteriously, it seems this is an issue only relevant with the fortress; it attacks everything else properly.
I'd take a sea worm any time over a hundred emotionless spinning carriers.

This is not a bug -- those two ships fire dark matter ammo, while the fortress fires counter-dark-matter flares, making it unhittable.  Hence the ships won't try to attack it on their own, etc, etc.  All is well!
