Still this is a very good update. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

It is good to see this added. I send this request to Aaron after the initial version of SEV was released.

Thanks, Aaron!

Re: SE5 patch 1.20 is out
 

The good news is even version 1.17 saves that crashed after strategic will now process in 1.20! The ever annoying fleet splitting bug is still present though. I'm also seeing something I've never seen before. What are the white stars showing up under planets I've splattered? I also have them over one planet that strategic combat indicated I had obliterated, but now shows enemy population, and the game will not let me attack it again. Whatever the white stars are they are they will not let me move ships back over the planet. This becomes a problem when the fleet splitting bug has left ships damaged so bad they can not move over the planets. I can't move a repair ship back to help them.

Why'd you stick the screenshot in a doc file?

At any rate, unless I miss my guess that's a minefield icon, and your ships aren't moving onto it because they don't want to die. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif Either clear the "ships won't move into minefields" setting or select the hex and clear the marker..

Well because I couldn't remember what the save screen shot in game commmand was, and it's not in the manual. It's funny that when I first attacked those planets there were minefields, and they went right ahead with the attack and said they'd cleared xx number of mines? There are sweepers present, so why wouldn't they move onto minefields?

Re: SE5 patch 1.20 is out
 

And where might the "ships won't move into minefield" setting that doesn't work on the initial attack reside?

Re: SE5 patch 1.20 is out
 

empire options. If you don't know mines are there- if there are no markers- the ships will always move there.

Re: SE5 patch 1.20 is out
 

OK, so just because I see them in the flag display doesn't mean the ships know that they are there. Thanks! OH, and how do I save a screenshot to disk from the game?

Well, I went and unchecked that box, and the ships now move onto those planets, but no boom, and no mine sweeping? OK, after processing two turns the minefield indicators are gone...

Re: SE5 patch 1.20 is out
 

If I understood CPT Kwok right mines have become uncloaked somehow with this patch. I suspect it may be related to the Active and passive scope attached to the hulls. Besides the mines may have been cloaked before you first attacked but after that your ships know they are there so there should be an icon; but white stars? That crap needs moded out ASAP, anyone know where the setting/bmp for it is?

Re: SE5 patch 1.20 is out
 

Do you have a treaty with the owner of the mines which includes minefield code sharing?
