Another pair of bugs from the beta-testers (us players)

[Freyland]

Greetings all.

Two problems, both today, oddly enough. Apparently one of my AI opponents sabatoged a ship within a fleet during one turn, and I got the message "[sic] Ship XXX has been sabatoged and lost movement for this turn". I went to the fleet, and the ship was undamaged and had its full 7 movement points, as did the rest of the fleet.

Number two, I received a Log message stating Ship XXX was damaged by an Ion Storm, a random event (thank God those work, I had yet to see a R.E. in all my days of playing). Yet, upon going to the event, my ship was undamaged.... no components lost, no points collected against me in the "damage bar". Anyone else have either of these two things happen or explicitly not happen to them?

well, you might be totally shocked to hear this, but i have never seen a random event either. I would suppose though that the ion storm that hit you either did not do enough to penetrate your shields, or did not do enough damage to actually destroy a component.

as for the movement loss, I dont could not guess about that.

[Freyland]

Good thought about the shields, Puke, but this vessel was a non-combatant, and had neither shields nor armor.

high damage resistance colonization component?

[Freyland]

No, but apparently the multiple struts from the numerous satellite bays were able to hold her together.

No random events? I've seen twice this ion storm thing that destroys entire systems. The 2nd time I saw it it destroyed my home system leaving me with a bunch of unconnected mining colonies and I lost the game. I now turn events off....

The only events I haven't seen is a good event.
