Thanks!

WooHoo!

... now can anyone hit the fast forward button on the workday?

you mean v1.181 right? V1.81 is a little far off.

sweet! Glad to see the Sova cap didnt get touched with rumors about RM being overpowered or not what you guys intended it to be, i love this ship now.

I can't download the the update, it always gets to 91,6 % and then gets stuck. Has anybody else succeeded updating?

Updated here ok just 20 mins ago

Weird, it never gets farther than for me. I would try restarting, but my Vista takes forever to shutdown, and become usable after booting. In between it's perfect, though [e digicons]:grin:[/e] I'll try again tomorrow.

Sentinal Charged missle bug?

Yay!

why are dl so big if they are only minor fixes. btw thanks for the akkan fix it was getting annoying

We verified that it was behaving as expected. We were worried it wasn't doing its AOE effect but confirmed it was working.

So sentinal isnt suppose to do aoe on regular ships, just sc? They worked against regular ships before. So basically they got nerf?

I just checked the entire history of the BuffChargedMissilesLightSelf.entity file. It has always only affected only strikecraft. So no, it was not nerfed.

Yay thanks for the update.

DEAR GOD!!!

THE DEVS GAVE US THE DEV.EXE's IN THE UPDATE!!!! I am sorely tempted to say something I know that I would regret later.

Blair

thank you for the devs

question... if a vasari flack hits a normal ship with a charged missle, does it do spash damage to sc? or does it have to hti a sc to do splash dmg to sc?

THANK YOU!
These changes are certainly welcome. Now I won't have to sit around and micromanage my battleships' Flak Bursts!

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the hotfix didn't invalidate saved games. Thanks for that.

Waiting for an answer to Pbhead's question will probably shed some light on your replay's behavior.

My personal expirience told me sentiels were nerfed in 1st day of update. I wasnt sure haw, and i made tests.

i foud AOE problem. But devs says its ok despite of personal expirience of player who did 1500+ games and another with 1000+ . bouth playing mainly vasari and using sentiels heawy.

So if AOE area dmg is ok, as u say , haw did u nefr sentiels and y there is nothing in change log.

And no frigs HP buff doesnt cout as i checked sentiels behaviour against fleets without frigs.
