Fleet Viruses

from Stardock Forums

Yep. fleet viruses

I first came across it in the vanillia game...couldn't figure it out. then i found it in a modded version"7 Deadly Sins" good mod BTW

Obervations of the virus...seem the fleet thats effected loses 1.5 shield points per second, Also, the virus comes and goes. but does not dissappear. It also seems that the virus is also contagious. and will pass from fleet to fleet by proximity.

Conclusions?

First i thought it was the game helping to "kill Off' my amassed fleets. but that was wrong.

I have a saved game with -4000+ fleet cap. no virus

I have a saved game with -2000+ fleet cap and it has a virus in one of the fleets.

Any ideas?

And i serious about the viruses

what you are saying makes no sense. Screenshots or a better explaination is in order.

Anyways. how i figured i got the virus..I was holding 2 fleets in my home star as a buffer zone to my homeworlds, and while they were in position, I use a couple rapture battle crusers to fatten my fleet.IE Steal the enemies ships. As the story goes, i used my Raptures to grab a couple ships that are close and got a never ending 1.5 damage over time.its kinda like Malice that the Advent motherships use and its graphic is the same, a big ball of stuff with my fleet in the middle.But Malice only lasts for 10 tic's(seconds). It is contagous. my second fleet got it on contact with the other fleet when i postioned them together, but. the second fleet lost it after beening moved apart. Where the virus comes from ? I don't know. how to get rid of it? i don't know. thought its was a glitch so i saved and reloaded...its still there any ideas?

That sounds like the Advent Destra Crusader's (Their Heavy Cruiser) passive ability Ruthlessness. (The ability also has to be researched.)

Are you using 1.05? The Rapture's Domination ability doesn't reset that and so that cruiser will continue to damage your fleet. Was fixed in 1.09 I believe.

Thanks Kitkun. that was exactly the reason for the virus. I found the problem and scuttled it
