Well, I detAChed the ships from the fleet and the ships still wont fire at the planet.

Ok, I tested it again in a new game but didnt use a task force. Just a solo ship. And it attacked the planet. I dont know why that one game doesnt work. But the link to my saved file is up there if someone wants to try it out and see what's wrong.

I dont know what to call this. An isolated bug? Something random? I'm hesitant to play this game more investing time and run into a game killer bug like this... I'll give it another shot with a committed game and see what happens.

Anyone else have this happen?

Does it have anything to do with the fighters on the planet?
Perhaps the missiles don't want to hit them.

The other thing I see is that the ships are all at exactly 50% ordnance... Which would be right when the first missile launcher's ammo goes empty.
Of course, I haven't seen any problems with having ordnance bays and ordnance in the weapon launcher.

Get the latest Kwok update(0.92) and avoid using fleets until a patch comes by, is my advice. At least when I tried using fleets a couple of times all my ships went crazy in combat and started fleeing the enemy instead of doing the 'optimal weapons range' thing like they should.

Well if that's the case it may be a fleet issue. Cuz that's what my fleet did when I attacked the planet, ran away.

SJ, the planet didnt have any ftrs on it I dont think. The save game is above.

Second time around on a different game entirely, there was no issue. The ship quickly ran out of ammo, however, and I learned then that missile ships probably need some supply ordinance components.

Raapys, I think I have the 0.91 kwok mod. I''ll have to check. I d/Led it yesterday same time I bought the game.

There's a new version that came today, 0.92, it's a gigantic improvement.

I loaded the savegame you posted earlier. Fleet of 5 ships, planet with 20m people, miscellaneous supplies/ordnance, and about 15 fighters on the ground.

But his ships had Point defense weapons too.
