OK, here's a weirdness that has totally doomed me in a game. Let me set it up:

I am in a DevNull game, wherein I have made judicious use of Create Storm components on ships. These ships have a couple repair bays, and lots of supply. I park them over a WP or a planet, set them to "create storm" and then hit "repeat orders" - and, voila, they plop out a lot of storms in one turn.

In another game, stock (no mod), I am a much more advanced race, and was hoping to do the same sort of thing. So I had create storm components on ships with quantum reactors (and a couple repair bays).

In the latter game, I plop the ships somewhere, hit create storm and then 'repeat orders'...and nothing happens. They don't even create one storm.

My first question is: why?
My second question is: how can I get these ships to plop out more than one storm in a turn, like in my DevNull game?

thanks,

Alarik

Ps: and, yes, I fully understand the strategic implications of plopping a whole bunch of storms in one sector. Part of it is to see what happens...I actually have one planet that is surrounded by 527 storms! (it's for a RP reason..and it's just cool)
