Talk about unfair
« on: April 08, 2010, 08:58:32 pm »
With 10 wormholes, an advanced factory, 4 crystal, and 4 metal mines (not to mention a wandering Zenith Trader,) you would probably want to take this planet 3 jumps away from your homeplanet.

Though being only 2 minutes into the game, against a level 7, I'm looking at this planet thinking the Ai may be a bit overpowered here.

The Ai is defending with about 450 ships, ~400 of them are mark IV's.

The Ai also has ~450  Turrets, 55 are Lighting Turret Mark III, and 31 are Heavy Beam Cannon. (And an Ion cannon Mark II)

Oh, and it has 48 forcefields. 21 are Core.  :-\

Hmm, I don't think it's supposed to do that ;)

Particularly the beam cannons; what version is this?  I spent a lot of time hunting down the various places it can generate those to make sure it would honor the per-planet caps (which basically mean there shouldn't be more than 1 right now).  Also, the newer versions are actually supposed to strip out excess heavy beam cannons from ai planets.

3.0.9.1

Pretty sure that's the newest, unless you made a really recent change.

Also, the problem might just be that the overview randomly multiplied certain things by a certain amount..

Yea, I've got a lot of planetary summary fixes in for 3.092, but that's not out yet.

Could you post the save?

Thanks,
Keith

When posting there's an "Additional Options..." link below the textbox but above the post button, under that is the usual sort of file-choose-and-upload stuff.

Well that helps  :)

Make sure you pause as soon as it loads, the scout dies quickly.

Oh, and this is in Yikinfi.

I noticed there seems to be less than 48 forcefields, but it shows 4 different types, which would lead me to believe there are at least 4..

I dont think systems mix force feild types (unless a specific AI type does), in my completely non-expert opinion this sounds much more like a summary bug.

Has anyone seen an instance of this in the latest prerelease?  My guess is summary bug.
