My ships are firing on... each other?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I'm playing the Arceans in DA, and have medium and large vessels equipped with a mixture of beam and driver weapons. The beam weapons appear to properly fire at the enemy, but the driver weapons appear to fire at my other ships. Worse yet, it appears to be more than a graphical bug. Since I have "super warrior" I can plainly see that my ships are taking damage before the enemy has even had a chance to fire.

What the hecks going on here? It's making my current game functionally unplayable, since I keep blowing myself out of the sky...

well there is a graphical glitch that causes the ships to look like they are firing on themselves or each other. but the fact that your ships appear to be taking damage is a wierd thing alltogether.

I'd suggest posting a debug err, but I have no idea if a debug err would even show it.

Yeah, I just saw the thread about the graphics bug. Hmm, I wonder if I'm just getting pounded harder than I think I am by the enemy, I confess it's a little hard to tell.

In the short time I have had to play, I thought I was having problems with my vision. While I have noticed my ships fire on each other, I see that the damage is dealt to one of the enemy ships at the same time. So far, they do not appear to be damaging each other.

My guess is that same graphical glitch is affecting the enemy vessels too-- ie, they fire on one another and you take damage. Maybe...

OK, yeah, it's strictly graphical after all. I tried a few battles that weren't even, and came through without a scratch on any of my ships despite still seeing them fire on each other. I guess those Krynn battleships are just nastier than I thought.

Someone close this, please.

I've seen this as well, enemy ships appear to fire on each other, and my ships appear to fire at other friendlies as well.
