Hi all,
So I was enthralled with the posts on this forum (and GCII was cool) so I convinced the wife that I needed an new game and bought SINS.
In short, I started it up. Jumped from my home system. Saw some pirates. My ships say "Auto-attacking (pirate ship name here) but no one is firing. Neither me or the pirates. My ships pull the equivalent of a inverted negative G dive with a "Mig-28" (Mig-28s can't do that! so you say...), whip out the polaroid camera, and take a picture. I thought... ok. I'll see what happens when I colonize a planet. Maybe the pirates are bugged... I don't know. So I colonize a planet. All of a sudden all heck breaks loose. The pirates begin to lay waste to it with missals. I sit back and watch my recently build gauss cannons do nothing.
This situation repeats itself. Did I miss something? Do I need to do something to make my units shoot back... or is something really wrong?
EDIT YAY EDIT: Ok. I'm still posting this because it was a bug. I reloaded the game. Actually played the tutorial (instead of just jumping to the pirate planet) and wow wee! My ship starts firing! Yay. Off to waste time.
