bug fleet phase jumping

from Sins Forums

Major bug that ruins the game for me and i wont play the game again if it doesnt get fixed. When i have a fleet i order it to go to a location with jump togehter on. They move to jump and they do so however they leave ALL the capital ships behind. The only way to fix it is if i take off jump together. I dont know whether or not that this is fixed in the beta but it happens to me without fail EVERY time.

How big are your fleets, and what's the frigate/cap ratio? In order to keep them from forming up indefinitely, a fleet will go once it has 95% or so in formation, IIRC.

With very large fleets it can sometimes happen. The number is 90%, I think. But since capital ships are pretty big, with a very big and packed fleet it's possible that they bump into other ships and have a hard time aligning for jump - which can sometimes result in them being shunted to the 10% left behind.

Yes but by what your saying they will eventually jump anyway. My cap ships dont the y stay there indefinately. The size of my fleet. I tried it with just two cap ships jumping together they stayed there and didnt move at all.

Hmm, do you have a replay or a save game of it?

Why does everybody with a bug complaint say this?

Mainly cause for me its gamebreaking. I literally cant play the game. Before the 1.4 patch everything worked fine now it doesn't. Anyway heres the file if it doesnt work just give us a yell.

To the right in the yellow box there is a download file button that should be it.

With a fleet of about 200 it takes forever to align. Why can't the ships just stay further apart and go deeper in stacks when phasing?

 

I see the AI stack 20 units high when phasing sometimes, yet player ships only stack 4-6 high.

Fleet phase jumping is wonky, the paradigm needs changing.  Make a bubble, ships in the bubble phase, if they miss it, they take the next bubble.

Higher tech means the bubble is bigger, faster.

 

As it stands now, phase jump behavior is comical and worse: unreliable.
