[BUG]Certain unit types won't fire

from Sins Forums

I'm not sure if this is an actual bug or just me.

I had a group of 5 starfish. Wherever I would send them, I'd get a red attacking line, but they would never fire. No damage was dealt to their target either. This also happened to my starbase whenever it would use meteor swarm. It would cast, but no animation, and no damage. After I reloaded that particular save, the bug went away. My Starfish were firing before I reloaded the save.

Is this weird behaviour happening to anyone else?

I can provide the save if neccesary.

I'm really not at all qualified to answer your questions, but I do recall reading something about a known bug with Meteor Swarm.  As for the siege ships (aptly named, btw... because that's exactly what they look like, and it's a little silly), I have also had a lot of trouble with them autousing their ability, which is their only means of offense... their weapons aren't mounted normally.  Why this is, I'm sure I have no idea, and I do think I remember talk of reworking that prior to the final release.

Obviously this was far from definitive, and I'd be interested to see what better-informed folks have to say.

Just in case you should send the save to [email protected] and tell them how to reproduce the weirdness. I can't speak for the starfish personally, but the meteor swarm only damages shields until the hotfix patch, so it's easy to miss the damage dealt.

Yeah, certainly possible for the starbase. The animation is a little hard to see. But I reloaded the save, just to check, and the Starfish still exhibit the same behaviour.

Thanks Annatar, I'll send it along.
