1.08 bugs.

Bug: I have a resupply alliance with another race and when trying to resupply at one of their planets, my ships stop on an adjecnt hex and refuse to go into the planet hex.

You don't need to go onto the enemy planet hex to get supplies: being in the system is enough. However, note that a single resupply depot only distributes 500 supply points *total* throughout the system, and those points are given depending on the supply priorities. Your ship might very well be far down on the ladder.

Bug: Far too often I am allied in the defenders column with a race I'm at war with and neither tactical or strategic combat will let my ships fire at the enemy.

Note that, while it's probably a bug that they're in the same column, the same happens all the time to me but never prevents me from shooting at the enemy. In other words, I suspect you're experiencing another problem. Could be a seperate bug, lack of supplies/ordanance, etc.

Perhaps you could post a savegame with this problem?

Sometimes units in fleets are not resupplied moving into a planet unless 1st detached from fleet when moving in.

Again note that you don't need to enter a planet's hex to get supplies, and that one supply facility only distributes 500 total points each turn, divided after how your resupply priorities( set in Empire Options) are set up.

Dizzy: you never answered the question about whether you have a non-aggression treaty or not. Your ships are probably stopping because they can't move into that hex without initiating combat!

Entire treaty. BTW, if I am supposed to receive supplies by just being in the system... then possibly I'm not getting any from my allies because they are busy resupplying their own ships? I find this strange because they dont have any ships in the system.

But that doesnt resolve the bug where my ftrs lose their ordinance after a battle where no one fires a shot and having the planet steal it in a seperate instance.

Also, the not being able to fire at your enemy... has been confirmed by other players from one of my saved games which is posted on another thread. Has happened vs colony ships, planets and ftrs and ships... all sorts of situations vs a race at war in two seperate games same issue. I have ordinance. I have proper tactics and strategy setup. Like I said, it was already confirmed.

The last one here is the game killer. I'm still deciding what to do with this $40 box...

You don't have a non-aggression treaty. There's nothing under the sub-heading, so the treaty just SAYS non-agression but doesn't enforce it. THAT is probably a bug, by the way. Or a modeling of the UN.

You should be getting supplies by being in the system, but its possible that ability isn't being extended to allies, just the supplies on the actual planet.

So I have a non aggression treaty with no details which is a bug? And that's why it wont let me enter my ally's planet hex?

Hrmmmm. I have a colony ship that will go between two different planets when I click the nearest resupply point button. Neither hex the ship will enter, tho.

None at all? Note that launched fighters( I think, anyway), satellites and bases also counts. I've not tried it myself, so it could be that it's actually not working, but I think it's more likely that there could be something you've overlooked in his system. Remember that you might very well not be seeing all the forces he has in that system.

Actually, you *don't* have a non-aggression treaty. No details = no treaty. It's just an interface bug sort of. And since you don't have such a treaty, you can't enter his planet hexes without using the 'Attack' command.

Phoenix-D · #7 October 26th, 2006, 08:15 PM

The bug is that it lets you propose a treaty like that. Any treaty element without a sub-heading is ignored, so there's no point in having them.

The bouncing colony ship is probably part of the same thing.

Yup, I guess that's why mb im not getting supplied. Mb you have to be friends 1st and supplied later. Be nice if someone could confirm.
