Rally point bug

April 30, 2006 8:33 PM from

I saw this in all the 1.1 betas and in the final. Didn't realize the feature was there in 1.0 (if it was).

When you set a planet to launch all new ships at a rally point, every now and then they will launch the ship but not tell it where to go. Then the game focuses it and you have to give it orders. Seems to happen more often when a tech is finished and the research window pops up.

This IS a highly annoying bug, and it's still present in 1.2 beta 1.

But the game never asks you to give those ships any order, they just hang there in front of your planet.

Then once in a while I suddenly find like five constructors sitting in front of one of my planets doing nothing. Then I realise that there are twelve more in front of various other planets.

Please fix this, people, the rally points are there to eliminate the micromanagement, having to give each of your new ships the same order over and over again.

Really? It seems to be fixed for me now (1.2

. I haven't once had a ship forget its orders in the new beta.

No, you're absolutely right. I guess I was lucky at first, but that bug definitely is still there.
