Entrenchment 2B Autocast Problems

I've noticed that sometimes a capship or starbase will autocast an ability while its' target is outside of that abilities range.

Example: Nano-disassembler set to autocast.  Sometimes it will cast it as soon as an enemy enters the well, even if it's on the other side of said well.  Anyone else notice this?

Depends on what you mean. If it's set to auto-cast and the engagement range is on grav well, it can select a far away ship as the ability target and move in range, that's normal. If it actually shoots the ability off before the ship is in range, that's a problem.

So, could you be more specific?

This is what it does.  Though, not all of the time.  That'll teach me not to post on multiple boards at the same time. ^_^

Okay then, do you have a replay or better yet a save where it happens shortly after?

No. I will create a test game this afternoon to get a replay and a save of it.

The rocket is just so it gets there faster. Only someone like you can be devious enough to crash the rocket into the office building, foxy. >_>

I have noticed many little glitches.  One today was that a colonizer frigate was set to NOT auto-colonize (it was a dead asteroid, I didn't want to waste the mana because something better was ahead) and it colonized anyway.  I think I have a replay - if I can find it will send to devs.

Another thing that keeps happening is that queued up orders keep getting lost.

They recently tinkered with this bug for beta 2. Can you narrow down the exact steps on how to get them lost? The old bug was if a ship was on an auto-order (like auto-attack) holding down shift and queueing didn't work, the queue had to follow a manual order else it got lost.

If you notice it a lot, see if you can narrow down how exactly it happens, it'd be a great help.
