Bugs/issues(?) in latest Crusade (2.8)

from GalCiv3 Forums

- Sometimes I cannot build shipyards - the option is just not there for the planet concerned (playing as Drengin)

- Annoying issue with "Sentry". I issue the instruction to set my ships to sentry, but it doesn't work. Instead, I keep having to press "Pass" every single turn for all ships I instructed to be on sentry in order to move on in the game. Frustrating.

Love this game btw.

Thanks!

If a colony is already sponsoring a shipyard then it can not build another one.

A ship set to Sentry will wake when an opponent's ship enters sensor range. Use Guard if you don't want it to wake up.

Thanks. What you've described, though, is how Sentry is supposed to work, not what it actually does.

In my last game that's how it worked, when put in Sentry mode it would only awaken when a foreign ship entered sensor range.

Are you saying in your game Sentry isn't working?

Exactly.

And I've seen this issue many times.

A ship will not enter sentry if there is an opposing ship already in its sensor range, as well.

Not an issue with the bug in this case, as there are no ships in range. Someone else confirmed on the Steam forums that they have the same issue, so they don't use Sentry.

Just tested it and it is working for me.

What I suggest is to verify integrity of game files and see if it is not working in a new game.
