Worst "oops" moments in PBW? - Page 3

Ragnarok · #21 April 25th, 2003, 12:05 AM

I've made a similar mistake. But I caught it before I sent the fleet into battle. I just designed a new Cruiser with mine sweeper IIs and had about 10 planets building them, didn't realize they were mine layers until they reach my fleet organizing point. So I had to mothball all of those and build my sweepers.

Well thanks Rags.

Don't feel so dumb now. I am in good company.

Oops. Please don't take that comment the wrong way.

I am wondering how I could make such a mistake.

I request permission to join the survivors club of the Minelayers Mistakers.

Been there too.

Just add me to the, "They don't do WHAT when they are cloaked?!?!" minesweeper club.

('nuff said)

Yah. I'll join that cloaker club as well.

LOL @ tbontob.

So, what we have here is a mod in the making: Cloaking dual-purpose sweeper/layer module for us slower-to-figure-it-out people

The history.txt file says under v1.66:

3. Fixed - Cloaked minesweepers will decloak their entire group if they encounter a minefield (regardless of their minister settings).

I *think* this applies to a known minefield. i.e. one that is tagged with a minefield marker. Can anyone confirm if a minesweeper will decloak to sweep a known minefield? or is this broken?

High praise indeed, but undeserved. I have made all the dumb mistakes you read about here in the forum and maybe even invented a few new ones.

It is a good way to learn, though.

How about decloaked mines? For us dummies, of course.

Ahem...Slick.

You get double points if you belong to both clubs.
