Re: Questions About the Coming Gold Patch
 

Regardless, the Fighter bug MUST be fixed. Too many times the game has RCE'ed our on me because of the fighter bug.

(A RCE occures whenever there are too many fighters used in combat regardless of tatical or stratigic.)

RCE = Range Check Error.

I am very pleased by most of the announced changes in the next patch.

However I don't understand the reasons for:

"9. Changed - Drones can only target planets, ships, and satellites. Fighters,
mines, and other drones are too small to target."

From what I've read in this forum most player seem to share my opinion that at present drones are of limited value for the human player and almost useless for the AI. So why reduce their utility further???

Methinks it is kinda defense bonus similar to the ECM component. First the intel attack has to break through your counter intel projects and after that you would get a per cent chance to avoid the attack.

Could be the drones were attacking fighters instead of ships in some people's games...

I was really hoping for a move to ability for drones.

But I guess not???

All of the beta testers are also hoping, and asking, for the same thing. Keep asking. Sooner or later MM has to listen.

Until the Move-around order comes, you can always make the ineffective-than-drones Escort and Frigate Suicide Ships.

Just a thought.

I am very satified with everything listed ,Especially #3. Changed - Increased the "maximum number of ships per player" and the
"maximum number of units per player" selection to have an upper limit of 20,000 each on the Game Setup screen. wwwwwwwwooooowwwwwwwww

Re: Questions About the Coming Gold Patch
 

I love patches! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

But I hate them too, since we have to go through and re-compatiblize our mods. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: Questions About the Coming Gold Patch
 

Sounds great. I noted this was supposed to be out "early this week". I tend to play monster games that Last a couple of weeks. I really don't want to start another if the patch is coming out soon. Any concept if early in the week means "like tomorrow"? Developers help please.
