Beta 5 .82 Battle viewer with starting survey & pirates doesn't show survey shooting

April 10, 2015 6:21:12 PM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

In both battles I've had so far (new game started w/.82) when my starting survey vessel has fought pirates, the battle viewer is showing the pirates shooting at my survey vessel, but is not showing the survey vessel shooting at the pirates.  Yet the survey vessel has won both battles, and the summary at the end shows it shooting lasers, missiles, and guns at the pirates.  So it's just a visual issue in the battle viewer.  If I recall correctly, it displayed ok in .81.

It is working for me (tested with the Iconian Survey ship). What faction were you playing as? Or if you were custom which factions ship designs were you using?

I was playing as a custom faction using Altarian designs.  In the .81 games I played I was also using a custom faction, but using a different civ's designs (can't remember for sure, but I think it was Iconian).

Cool, I'll check the Altarian. Is it the normal Survey ship, or did you make a new survey ship design?

No, it's the normal survey ship you get at the start of the game.  I did design a custom survey ship in .81 for the (different) race I was playing then, but this ship isn't of that design, it had more attack/defense than this ship has.

Another odd thing about this battle is that the pirate ships don't explode when destroyed, they just drift off the right of the window.

I've also seen some odd behavior in this where my survey ship appeared to shoot my support ship and destroy it.  However, I'll have to create a video replay of this later and report if I can reproduce.

I've had a similar issue with the Krynn Survey ships. I used a custom faction with the Krynn ships as the base type (just altering the colours), and my Survey ship wins battles without ever a single rendered shot

I've seen this with the yor, Krynn, and altarans.
