Thanks for reporting this one. I found the problem and fixed it. However, the fix did not make it into today's update. It will be in the next update though. Thanks!

Reply to [TA Beta] How best to use fleet modules (ship design theory) in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

[quote]After all, such a ship would be a high value target[/quote] The targeting system for fleet battles has been modified slightly so that ships with the new modules are preferred over a ship that has the same stats minus the new module. The targeting system has not been finalized yet so we may change this.

Purge, you are correct. If you remove ship B, you'd get 16 moves.

[quote]Thought I would open this up, and invite those of you who really understand the nitty gritty of the combat system to chime in here and comment, to know how to best make use of the fleet modules. [/quote] Hi. I'm the developer who worked on both the new modules and the combat system, so maybe I can shed some light on the subject. Check out my post on this thread explaining how the speed modules work:

[quote] When attacking with a fleet with a advanced warp bubble on one ship, the other ships loose the bonus from the bubble the way you use up to 4 movement point for one battle. [/quote] This has been fixed. However, it did not make it into today's update.

Reply to Warp Bubbles ???? TA beta1 v1.8c in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

To clarify how warp bubbles and similar fleet-speed-enhancing (FSE) modules work: If the ship is by itself, it will get the speed bonus + its base speed. If the ship is in a fleet, the best FSE module in the fleet becomes the active FSE ship. The movement points for this ship are ignored when calculating the fleet speed. So, the fleet's moves will be based off of the ship with the least moves in the fleet (not counting the active FSE ship) plus the FSE bonus.<

Cari has fixed the blue line on the map. Please send in the save though. I'd like to figure out why some planets get old textures, and having your save could provide a good test case.

Seilore, Do you have a saved game where this is occurring? If so, please zip and send it and your debug.err file to [email protected] . Please provide a link to your forum post in your mesage. The blue line in the second picture looks like it's trying to make the camera view lines, but something is happening to make them go funky.

There have been reports of "invisible ships." This is what seems to be happening with the fleets that show only a number. We've been able to reproduce this and fix it and the fix will be included when we update next. Can you please post your debug.err file? This should be in My Games/GC2TwilightArnor. Just open it in notepad and copy/paste the contents of the file here. After doing that, try renaming the /MY Games/GC2TwilightArnor folder. You coul

[quote]I'm thinking the person who told me that PI was on the drengin tree may have been confused with something he picked up in trade. [/quote] It's very possible that the other person did get it from a trade. When you trade for a tech, it will replace the equivalent tech in your own tech tree with the version from the civ with whom you traded. If you do not have an equivalent tech, the tech is merged into your own tree based on its tech requirements. So

Please download and install SmartException. It is a free program and will provide us with the address of exactly where in the code the game crashed. This would help us a lot. You can get the program in Stardock Central's Free Stuff section. Once you install it just run it and then play the game. If it crashes, it will generate a report. Just send the report to [email protected] . If you have a saved

Try disabling the "Use Enhanced Ship Rendering" option in the options screen Video tab, and see if this fixes the problem. Please let us know if that works or if it continues to look unusual. Also, as David A Lessnau stated above, you can try updating your video drivers and see if that improves the situation. If that does not help, please save your game and zip it.
