it's being done server side though, so PBW HAS to have all the shipsets installed, this is going to be a PITA for PBW admin.

it should have been set up so it was worked out on replay.
but aaron doesnt see it as enough of a problem to recode it.

I don't see why they have to have them installed. If a shipset is missing it is replaced by a generic one. How does that effect the person sitting at home processing their turn using Atrocities Klingon set. I don't get it are you saying the players are playing on the server itself? Otherwise combat will take place with generic sets which won't effect the combat results at all.

The problem is that that generic shipset change is permanent. The player at home will see the new randomly chosen shipset.

We really need to get Aaron to make the hosting process shipset-agnostic.
The more people who email him about this, the better.

So what you are saying is, if the shipset is changed at the server when the turn is sent back to the player they are no longer using there chosen shipset? Instead they have been forced into changing to the new set? Well I haven't heard that one yet. Considering that new info it really does need to be fixed!

Indeed; as an example, me and SE5a started a game, each using a shipset the other did not have.

He processed the first turn, and my shipset was changed to Druk with Phong flag.
I processed the next turn, and his was changed to Abbidon with Phong flag.

And... the game died after 5 turns.
