I have played a few games of DA both beta 2a and 2b. Both of these versions, maybe those before these not sure, seem to have a bug calculating correct ship speed and make the game completely unplayable and i just go back to DL. Here is the bug:
After i research engine techs and start to put upgraded engines on my custom ships, thier speed points available keeps bouncing. I have mostly noticed this after loading saved games but I seem to recall this even happened on a game where i played straight through without loading.
Example: I build a ship with say 10 movement points. It launches goes to a waypoint and all seems well, its moving at 10 a turn. Then i start a war with someone and form my invasion plans to come back and try to move into position but now, SOME of those ship fleets are stuck at a max of 3 moves a turn, regardless of howmany engines. It does not matter if its 10, 13, or 7.
Whats odd about this bug is that not all of the same ship models are doing this. I can have two of the exact same ships, one will move normal per engines one is stuck at 3 points per turn. I first thought it was because maybe i upgraded some of these ships and the upgrade did not "take" well. Not the case, it even bugged the new ships coming off the production line. A few turns like normal, then BAMM, 25% of my ships now cap at 3 moves per turn regardless of whats installed on them. NOW, here is the kicker. I even tried to play through this "set back". Then a few turns into just going with it, I would check and now my fleet would move a full 10 moves or whatever. WTF is going on i think. Ok, no problems, i would keep playing. Then, a few moves past that, BAMN IT CAME BACK!!! the exact same fleet, all same ships, exact same ships as others that were moving normal.
This is a serious bug. It makes all your plans fly out the window and needs to be fixed ASAP. One thing to note, i always get the gravitron accelerator trade item, expecially since speed is such an important thing now with the limits on engine size. PLEASE FIX THIS BUG.
Anyone else having this problem? Because I cant play like this, can you?
