Um, Bonk, Karnak's Missions do not like my list.   it's why I don't use them, the only reason.

Seems fine now... with the donors removed serverside. How exactly do they not like your shiplist?

Only one of the ship creation methods works with a shiplist that uses donor ships, as we discovered during testing for AOTK2. There was an issue where the Gorn AI was not showing up at all. When the ship creation method was changed to the same method used in stock missions, donor ships appeared correctly. However, doing so also introduced the multiple host bug.

The telltale difference between the two ship creation methods, is that the one that works with donor ships gives slow drones to AI ships regardless of era, the other one (which I had been using up until then) gives drone speeds based on era. In Karnak missions, the AI has drone speeds based on era, therefore he is using the ship creation method that does not work with shiplists that create donor ships. However, the good side to this is that you should not see the multiple host bug in Karnak missions either.

(PS you check the NW starbase setting above?)

Have you flown EVERY race and verified there are no anomolies?

No. I have only flown Gorn. The server is down for now because of network maintenence, I'll test the other races when I get a chance...

Any thoughts on the NW configurable missions starbase destruction setting?

Not sure if this is the right thread for this, however, I will post it here as it seems related.

I am unable to make multiple accounts for SGO V, I have altered my log on, I have tried to log on with another GSA ID with no joy.  I have been able to successfully make multiple accounts on Stray's tavern by both methods.

I am not sure if I am the only one that can not make multiple accounts or if this is just something during the beta test, which I some how doubt.

Only one account will seriously cut into my server time as I like to fly as many different ships and races as I can for my side.

Suggestions??

I just created a second character on one of my 5 remaining GSA accounts. Different e-mail and different nickname and different charactername, if you are trying to create a character on the server with the same name as your first account, you cannot.

Check the Roster for Bonk and BonkH, my two accounts so far, over the next week I will create six more accounts and fly Kar_cPatrol on each twice...

Hey Bonk. Risky and I were trying to take out a F-BS at 21,14. We did 5 missions on the hex and none of the missions offered was a Base Assalt. So after the 5 missions 4 karnak and 1 ED mission, the hex flipped to ISC, and the base was still there but now under ISC control. We think the problem might have been a BS in a Black Hole Hex. Then later I went and found 2 more Base Stations in black hole hexes, and had no problem pulling Base Assalt missions.  Just kind of strange

[Dizzy]

May or may not be an isolated case. I dont plan on putting terrain in any base or planet hex in the final map.

Edit: That hex ws a Black Hole (0). The others had a number designation. Wonder of the new map definitions come into play here.

What missions are you using and what map hex types have you used?

[Dizzy]

Blackhole exact type terrain in hex where we had no base mission. Blackhole2 and Blackhole4 in other base terrains drew base assaults.

Using a mix of ED, Tracey and EEK patrols with ED Base asssauklts.

You sure you have tried a separate GSA account with a different e-mail? The business of changing the case of one letter of your e-mail is a bug and is not intended to work. This server is using a later build of the serverkit than Strayy's tavern and that bug might have been eliminated, though I recall using separate gamespy accounts sucessfully with it. (different e-mail and different character name as well)

Let me try a second account once the network is back up...

I made some new accounts and they can log on. Not sure why my older ones will not work, I used them to get on to Stray's and ATOKII. C'est le vie I will should be good to go for SGO now.

Thanks for the help Bonk.

Thank you... hate seeing someone put a Hydran fighter base in a nebula.

Please
they dropped a Lyran base in one on AOTK2

Well it seems that we have the Karnak Time Warp problem. Ran a few missions and came up with some unusual problems. 1st mission was a Kar cPatrol. My I-CSP and a I-DDX Vs a F-BCE and a F-DGX year 2274.... ummm I Alt-F4

2nd Mission was a Kar jPatrol. My I-CSp and a K-F5F Vs F-XCA and a F-HDWM1.....  Ummm I Alt-F4ed again

3rd mission was a TG_A Enemy Patrol I think 1v1. My I-CSP Vs a F-HDWM1.  I actually won this one.

All this is in year 2274  Well I guess we can all dance to "Lets do the Time Warp again" 

[Bonk]

Dizzy and I are working to address the issue. We knew about time warping in the EEK missions but were not aware of any in the TG missions.

This is a shiplist issue we hope to have corrected shortly.

Thanks for the report!

[Bonk]

Thanks for the feedback Soreyes. Sorry, I accidentally killed the server... doing too much at once... should be up now.

[FPF-DieHard]

The TG and ED missions do not timewarp.   I have a Whacky id for the EEK . . .

Karnak, do your missions use the Server-side or client-side list to generat AI?

[Dizzy]

I think we fixed it... Have to test tonight.

[Hexx]

The Met_NW6 mission has dropped me to desk all three times I've taken it.

[Dizzy]

We arnt using that one. I need you on the test server, Hexx...
