Title: Point defence laser bug?
Post by: Ender on December 20, 2003, 01:52:52 pm
I might be imagining it, but when I have two point defense modules on the flagship, the effect (2 crew damage per hit) seems to carry over to the Earthling Cruisers in my fleet!

I never use Earthling ship in the game so I don't know if it is true. Ask Nic to find it in the code, he find stuff like that really easy and fast(I don't know how to look in the code, probably notepad...hehe but then I won't understand anything)

I can't reproduce this behaviour, nor can I find any reason for it in the source code (the laser damage is set to 1 every time the laser is fired, except for Avatars (damage is 2) and the flagship).

Are you sure about this?

Not 100%. I've since noticed it happens inconsistently and seems to manifest itself particularly when I'm killing the ten Umgah ships. It might be that I'm getting in two laser strikes when I was sure there was only one....
