Novalith use by neutral parties

from Sins Forums

In the game I am playing I have had a neutral party fire the Novalith at my planets.

I just wanted to point out that this is like the USA firing at China or Russia without being at war and expecting them not to notice that it was us. Also I agree with other posts that the Novalith is to powerful,there should be some way to save a planet that does not use a slot on a starbase {weakening the base}.

I did not know if anybody has looked at Novalith use in the light.

Superweapons can only target enemy worlds, if you have so much as a cease fire, they won't attack.

Unfortunately this was true in rebellion. There was a bug where AI would attack you with nova even when you had a full peace treaty with them. Might have been fixed in beta two but im not sure. I personally haven't seen it since beta 2 started

Novaliths WILL fire on you if you have a cease fire with a player.  My friend and I had a cease fire, and his guns would rain shots on my planets and my guns on his.  We signed a peace treaty to stop it and ended up ending the game with an allied victory :/

Must just be a bug then.  It's only supposed to be able to be used on hostile targets...

Well, I even saw an AI fire it on a planet it owned itself in the version before. I don't know if this AI issue was fixed yet?

Overpowered? No. A bit too strong compared to the others? Yes.

 

Well, I'd actually say not so much for the Vasari. Being able to disable everything and jump a titan into your core worlds with little defenses is really strong, and with several of them and some timing you can be all over the damn map with ease.

 

The Advent one either needs a buff or the Nova needs to be toned down, since the Advent, aside from Starbases don't really have a way to deal with the bomb currently.

I bet it's a bug.... considering an AI I had a cease-fire with kept hammering the SAME damn moon over and over with his Novalith cannons (he had like, three that fired at that single target). I wanted to fire my Novalith back at him, just to get him to fire at one of our enemies, but the game told me I can't fire at non-hostile targets...
