[Bug] Kostura wouldn't fire (latest version of Entrenchment)

from Sins Forums

Built a Kostura in an MP game.  Told it to fire.  It rotated around, aimed, and then sat there in "waiting to fire mode" forever.  After a couple of minutes, I tried to hit the "stop" button to stop the command, but that didn't work.  Furthermore, the "fire" icon disappeared.  There was really nothing I could do with the thing.  I couldn't stop it from trying to fire, and I couldn't fire it at anything else because the fire icon disappeared.

A lot of credits spent in a competitive game for something that didn't work :-(

Could someone have destroyed one of your 8 military labs?

When you no longer have 8 military labs the crews onboard the superweapons suffer space amnesia and forget how to press the big red fire button.  It's as though a space pony kicked them in the yarbles.

My Kostura work flawlessly... the phase stabilization even finally works now that the dev's fixed the phase gates!

Did you try to use it across star systems? Because it only works on targets within the same star system.

Heh... yarbles... gotta read Clockwork again.

Hmmm - might have happened.  I'll check the replay later.

The movie was aired on one of the Encore/Starz channels Friday night.  Too bad so many people who've never seen this classic film missed it.
