PBW: My ships can't move

[dogscoff]

Also, remember that a fleet will only go as fast as it's slowest ship, so if you have fleeted fully working ships with a space station (no movement) or a ship that's mid- retrofit (engines not yet repaired, no movement) then your good ships will be immobile.

I even tried to dissolve the fleet and move every ship on its own. Even the non-retrofitted ships don't move! With the ones I tried to retrofit, they have no repair sign on them, so I supposed they should be ready.

And they've definitely got engines? I've upgraded designs before now and accidentally omitted the engines.

Are you playing a mod with Newtonian motion?(ie Pirates and Nomads V2.*) It could be you have a large ship with not enough engines to move it.

Failing the explainations above, this is a toughie.
Can you answer the following?
Like Puke says, how much movement does it tll you you have?
What hull are you using for these ships?
What engines are you using on this design? Is this the first time you've used this engine/ hull in this game?

Possibly an intel op, causing one of your ships to lose movement, and thus, halting the entire fleet?

This happened to a player in one of my games, he had a fleet that just would NOT move, no matter what the order....no real reason. He dissolved the fleet and then made two seperate ones, they moved after that......seems to be a small bug somewhere.....

Gorgo,

Can you tell me what game? This is the second report we have had like this. I am sure it's not PBW, but it could be an SEIV bug. I'd like to take a look at it.

Thanks for all your replies!

To Geoschmo: The game is Gorgos First. Would be appreciated if you could have a look at it!

This is a game where no player uses any intelligence until the next patch (by agreement).

The game is standard 1.41, so no special movement modding is involved.
Some of the ships had a movement of 6/6, some 0/6 (retrofitted and new one, I think).

After I dissolved the fleet, still the ships wouldn't move, even those with the 6/6 movement.

They were frigates and destroyers. I think I had not moved the destroyers before, yet they were properly constructed (6 engines, no warnings).
