[Bug] Dark Support and Dark Combat fleet take no resources, Dark Capital takes no Capital Crew

May 19, 2012 2:22:45 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Not sure if this is a bug or intended, but it appears the dark fleet costs nothing.

 

After researched, for a brief amount of time the new Dark Fleet options complain about not having enough resources, but list no resources needed. After it cleared I was able to buy Dark Support and Combat Fleet and they cost nothing.

 

I have no free Capital crew, and Dark Capital tells me I don't have crew as it should. When I have one crew available and use dark capital it gives me a random Capital and doesn't take up the Capital crew. I do it a second time and it then takes up the crew.

The zero cost thing is likely intended given the huge cooldown on the VLT phase gate ability, and the ability itself.  The zero cap thing is probably just a typo/bug though.

Put it this way. Grab about 10 phase gates and then grab an instantaneous fleet of about 1600 pop. Enemy fleet kills that within about 10 minutes (hypothetically), their fleet is crippled, and then instantly bring in another fleet of 1600 pop. Rinse and repeat until enemy is dead.

Currently, it's quite broken.

Obviously its a bug, it should cost money.

But the whole process, as you describe, is IMHO basically how it should be, intended strength of Vasari Loyalists. Where other races get dual Starbases, TAR, jumping Starbases, Wail of Sacrificed, etc.., etc..., while their Titans are either great fleet killers or fleet supporters, Vasari Loyalists get the ability to replenish their forces quickly. Thats the cool thing about them, main reason to choose them.

The Dark Fleet is coded to take up resources, but as it currently stands, you just need the required amount of resources to activate the ability - it then does not take up resources. The ability is bugged. I would check what the required amount of resources is, but I seem to be unable to convert the three abilities from entity files to txt files.

bugged indeed.  With the Titan, I was able to drop a phase gate, and was able use all 3 options; Combat fleet, support fleet, and capital ship.  I needed to have the required funds, but nothing was actually spent on the ships called in.
