Nasty Drone Bug Reported

One of the players in a PBW game that I am hosting just reported this nasty bug. I suggest that people discuss whether Drones be used in games until this is fixed.

Re: weapons question

Phased Polarians cannot bypass Phased Shields (Shields 6+ technology).

Besides the slow reload of Null Space, they can be costly. In a game with a low ship limit, they tend to rule, because cost...

Re: How is it possible to raid without retreat ability?

Retreat would have to be carefully implemented so that warp point defenses could not be evaded too easily with speed 11+ ships (6+ tactical).

As for chasing single ships, if retreating was...

Re: Fleets pass each other by??

The Gold Manual indicates that combat occurs every 5th day. If you never occupy the same square on days 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30, then combat will not occur. This could easily happen if you have...

SEIV Suggestion: Defense Against Null Space Weapons and Talisman

I would like to see some sort of counter against How about a special shield that acts as a phased shield against other weapons, but also stops Null Space weapons (shield levels 7-11). I find that a...

Re: Weapon Platforms - Overly Powerful or Just Balanced?

I just started playing gold, so I cannot comment about whether they are overpowered or not there. In 1.49, they are good for defending against a small fleet picking off planets. Deployed minefields...

Re: PPB Balance Issue, Follow-up poll.

With the enforcement of supply in the gold Version, Engine killers are bit more attractive. Rippers have a nice Damge/KT of Space ratio. Null Space are unstopable. It is hard to survive the first...

Re: Is there a shortage of players for PBW?

Perhaps it would be of use if PBW would keep statistics on players and hosts such as a list of games they have played in and how many turns they participated, whether they started, and how long the...

Re: question about the culture-thing

If you are playing a high ship limit, then Merchant might be better to get to 5% maintenance more cheaply. After 110, maintenance get rather expensive. 200 per point if I recall. Maybe it is only...

Re: PPB Balance Issue, Follow-up poll.

I voted for a change, however, if we make PPBs weaker, then some other weapon will emerge as the weapon of choice. Probably Null Space, Rippers, or APBs. At least rippers have shorter range to make...

Re: Newbie Tractor/Repeller question

Tractor beams have a rather short range, so anything other than Standard mounts are a waste. Generally, you just want to be able to drag your enemy about 3 squares closer for Ripper Beams.

Re: What do you think of the new board features?

The poll adds up to 181%. I thought polls should tabulate to something around 100%, or are they adjusting for inflation?

Re: New Mod: The Art of War Mod

Make weapon research costs higher. The 5K base for most of them means you do not bother deploying them until you max out the level. Does anyone ever deploy a ship with a PPB I? The always research...

I have never liked the fact that you have to know how to build mines in order to clear them. I propose mine clearing devices available outside of the mine building tech tree.
