DA Beta 5 Possible Bug: Invulnerable Dread Lords Ship

from GalCiv2 Forums
I have the Beta 5 version of Dark Avatar and have encountered what may or may not be a bug. In the game, the Dread Lords have entered. I have destroyed most of their fleet. However, they have a dreadnought still left that appears to be invulnerable. I have launched literally dozens of attacks against it and reduced it to zero hit points multiple times but the ship does not die. Moreover, once it is reduced to zero and I attack it with a fleet, only one of my ships even fires and it does not fire off a full salvo. This may or may not be by design but I wanted to check on this.

Hi!
Do you use the cargo hull for attack? I had the same issue, but when I used medium hulls, I finally destroyed them.

No cargo hulls. I've used both medium and large hulled ships. All were in full repair and fairly heavily armed and armored relative to the stage of the game.

AFAIK the rules resulting in the 'invincible 1HP dreadlord'  have not been changed; so long as you don't attack with a strong enough fleet to withstand the dreadlord ship's volley, it wins the battle since it has better stats overall than any one of your ships.

The simple solution is to see how many weapons it has, and attack with a fleet of tiny ships numbering that amount +1.

Thanks for the information.
