Out of range

February 9, 2017 5:39:43 PM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

I have been playing 2.0.  Sometimes when I am attacking a stack of ships, it will suddenly say I am out of support range.  I was also moving an explorer, everything was, then bam out of range to move to next hex.  I was 15 hexes out of range!    This is happening during the same turn, not from one turn to another.

I have seen this in a few games.  I'm in range by many hexes, then I'm out of range when I move one hex.  The dashed line showing the range changes to show new range.  I have to move my ship back towards the new range line.  If this ship doesn't move very fast, I get the old range back before I reach the line showing the new range.  I can then go back and get the same problem again.  I have found that I can sometimes go around the problem area.  I never found an obvious reason for it.

I intended to submit a ticket about it, but never did.  If you have a save that shows this problem, you should submit a ticket so the Devs have a chance to look at it and maybe find the problem.

For the combat case, Carriers combat is implemented by temporarily adding fighters to your fleet, then removing them.  During that temporary period, your effective range is decreased, but it has no real impact on the combat or your movement thereafter.

Not sure about your explorer case.

- Did you use a wormhole and leap outside your range?

- Did your explorer join a fleet with a shorter-ranged ship?

- Did you decommission/destroy/trade a planet or starbase?

- Did you trade away a bunch of the +Range trade goods?

- Did you select a different ship (which will have a different range line)?

No to all of these, the range changes as I move ship.  No other changes from one hex to next.
