Default Re: Recovering Drones

To further illustrate my point:

I had created a starbase with 25 drone launchers. That means 100 per game turn and 25 for combat turn is what I should expect to see. This starbase also had some 15mT storage space, which translated into 107 small drones. I should be able to launch drones for 5 turns in tactical combat.

Prosecution would like to offer Exhibit A, a rather large image (over 100K). It show that quite clearly, this starbase, with only 25 drone launchers, was quite capable of launching more than 25 drones per combat turn. It did precisely the same thing in Strategic, as well.

I asked myself, "Self, why does this happen? It is most curious and distressing to me."
"Self," I said, "I do not know the ultimate reason, not being clairvoyant and such, but I imagine that it is tied to the fact that the launch units window does not stop you from using "launch" more than once. It says that you can only launch 25 per turn, but yet, after launching 25, I am able to launch another 25, and after that another. The computer seems quite fond of doing this in Strategic as well."
"Oh dear, this is most distressing," I said with a small sigh to myself.
"Yes, but worry not, for it is but a small bug, and will be dealt with most swiftly," I replied to myself. "I'm certain that Aaron will squash it quite handily in an upcoming patch."

nice work sherlock, but did you just say "self,......" dude! my Chem teacher says that: "self, if i had mole of Mg and a mole of HCl which would be the limiting reagent?)

Heh...I might very well be your Chem Teacher. You never know.

Anyway, am I simply re-inventing the wheel here with this bug I've stumbled on, am I the only one dealing with it, or is this just me who's having this problem? External replication of this problem would be comforting insofar as it would let me know that I'm not totally insane.

It would be the HCl since two moles of it would be needed to react in full with Mg.
