Can't retrofit.

Ruatha · #1 December 12th, 2003, 06:38 PM

Hi.
It's all designs, Tried different designs different turns.
Changed differnet components.
Thi sturn I'm trying a retrofit with only changing ECM1 to ECM 3, will see if it works on next turn (in two days or so)..

It's on PBW - Newbie Galactic Combat 3, using the No-Ai mod.
As PBW admin, feel free to check out the latest turn.
My password is registred on PBW, or if you want I can mail it to you.

Ruatha, I have looked at the turn. I have a couple questions but I don't want to give away game info. I will PM you.

Yep.
I think Geo has the answer.
Will try the solution and if it's valid I'll post it here in a couple of days (After the orders I submit in the next turn has been carried out).

Actually, I was wrong. I thought maybe it was rejecting all teh retrofits because you were doing too many at once and the total amount was more then you could afford. But I tested it out and that's not the problem.

I also tried as Slick suggested and took the original design and upgraded it to a completely new design thinking that maybe it was corrupted or something. No joy.

It's definetly reproducable, but it doesn't seem to make any sense. I have emailed the files to Aaron along with a description of what I tried to workaround it. Maybe he can fix it for the next patch if nothign else.

Maybe something similar to the trade/gift bug, maybe try to do only a few retrofits, and as Last thing of the turn? Just a weird idea...

Or did you already reach the maximum ship limit? Maybe you really should scrap one of these old escorts with a single DUC I

Nope, tried that. Didn't work.

Nope, ship limit had not been readched. And even if it had that shouldn't prevent retrofits.
