How to re-create the fleet movement bug 1.80e.098 (DA)

from GalCiv2 Forums
Ok - I've found a way to reproduce this bug every time.

Start a new DA Campaign game

On the main map make a fleet out of 2 starfighters and the scout, take your turn, try and move that fleet more than a square, take a turn - then try and set a distant waypoint, and at that point it won't do it.

There is more going on here to be sure. As you noted distant waypoints for fleets don't seem to work but you can set close waypoints within their remaining moves.

I also noted that by disbanding fleets and recreating them will in most cases yeild many more moves. After you try to move to a distant waypoint....which does not work... if you disband the fleet and recreate it you get additional movement points.

I will pay closer attention to the specific circumstances but fleet movements are definetly nerfed...

I was able to get infintite movement points by disbanding my fleets repeatedly. If you try and move the fleet another 1-2 spaces after the movement number hits 0/(insert max move number here) the move indicator will then become 0/0 if you then disband the fleet you will get all of your move points back, ad infinatum.

Heres hoping this gets fixed soon cause it makes using fleets a royal pain in the kiester.

use the bugfix 1.8g3 at the top of te bugforum in the post called "pathfinding and metaverse error #12 fix"

1.8g3 fixes this, howeve at least for me it has made the game a bit mroe unstable... (no TURN finish button sometimes...)
