Topic: 2.5.5.0 Fighter bugs (Read 1592 times)

Fighter firing delays are non-existant for DisF, PhoF, and HellF. Fighters can fire these weapons immediately upon launch. Additionally, the reload period is very short, about 1 or 2 seconds.

The good news is that FusF is fixed somewhat (though it still reloads infinitely). It can fire after about 1/4 turn as expected. Missiles work ok (1/2 turn delay).

Did the beta-testers get a shot at 2.5.5.0? It doesn't seem so.

EAW handles these features well. It's too bad OP doesn't.

Oh well, it's just a game.

Yes, we did. I would have to go back and look, but I think our focus was narrowed a bit this time (don't quote me on that though) as there were/are other issues and possibilities at play that I cannot go into here.

As it is, enjoy.

Best,

Narrowed to this?

"02 Patch fixes in 2.5.5.0
--------------
1) Retaining lock on cloaking ships wrong - fixed.
2) Plasma D hitting ESGs
3) Fighters unable to fire heavies after 1/4 turn - fixed."

Seems a small list to me.

I suppose it doesn't matter. Only number-crunchers care about stuff like this. Fighters probably could use this boost anyway since fighters' phasers take too long to arm.

If these are all the fighter bugs that are left I'm not going to complain.
