Problem with Rally points/Autopilot

March 23, 2008 11:15 AM from

Hi All,

Been playing this game for a couple of weeks, and hitting a big problem with controlling my ships. Some of my ships will not follow intructions to go to a rally point or follow the autopilot if I set it too far. The only way I can get them to move is by manually moving them a small distance each turn. I think the problem may be to do with not adding enough engines or life support, but I don't see why as I can still get them to the destination eventually it's just very time consuming. Other ships seem to work fine - can anyone help out?

I thought engines just affected speed and life support let ships go further from the nearest planet, so I don't really see how adding more of either could help, but I've run out of other ideas.

Thanks!

Sometimes the rally points appear to be blocked by either a planet or a starbase causing the ships not to see the rally point in question. A simple check to one side or the other is often enough to get the ship moving. Check also that you have the latest update as their was a bug reported in an earlier release regarding ships not moving as fleets to rally points and or destinations.

Thanks - checked it out further and it looks like the problem does only happen to my fleets, so I'll look for an update (although I'm sure I downloaded the latest)
