Tracey, About Patrol B...
« on: April 24, 2003, 04:02:52 pm »
I noticed something weird in that mission. I think it's Patrol B. It's the one where you are in a 3v3 and it gives you (usually) CL or an HC and two frigates to fight and you get two AI help. What I noticed is that when you are targeted on an enemy ship and another enemy ship blows up, it deselects your target and the reticle goes off, causing you to retarget the ship. It's a small bug, but a little disconcerting when you are in a pinch and need to react fast. If you want to try to reproduce it, this is my usual method of attack in that mission: I run up and alfa the CL/HC at point blank range right off the bat, usually half wrecking it. I then target one of the smaller vessles and let the AI finish off the first ship. When it goes boom, I lose target lock on the smaller ship. At first I thought I was hitting something by accident, but it happend several times after I noticed it.

One more thing; can we please lose the auto-taunts in the missions? Once in awhile is neat, but they are starting to drive me crazy!!!!

Thanks for the missions they are making this game fun again.

I noticed that enemy AI were firing probes at me causing me to lose targeting. Probably the same bug, but I was getting it in the homeworld fleet action(at least I think it was that mission).

Aha!  AT LAST!!  A SCOUT FUNCTION!!!!!  <snicker>

No fair the AI hogging all the fun, though.  I want to break Chuut's lock-on to my ship by firing a probe at him, and then watch all his drones disappear.  (Fortunately, plasma are self-guiding, so he can't play with the new toy.)  Gimmie! gimmie! gimmie!  (But not before you catch up on your school work, little girl.)
