I am running Trade Wars 2002 ver 3.13. I have a player that had a level 6 planet. He warped it to another sector and logged off. By the time another player attacked it, it was showing as a level 2 planet. Has anyone seen this happen before? Is this a bug, or does it have something to do with the fact that the sector was in a major warp lane?

He warped it into a MSL (major space lane) once there it will never advance higher than l2

Thank you for the reply! We didn't know about that rule.

Nod, at extern the cit will be reduced to level 2..  However, if planet edits allow a same day level 4 he oughtta be able to re-up it and warp it back out?
 
 
 

I know what Animal means; however, some may take it that if you move a planet into an MSL it automatically becomes a L2 planet.  This is true only if you leave the planet there through extern (whatever time that is set to on the server).  
I learned about MSL's and instant L2 planets the hard way.  I played in a local game against some friends and my wife.  The wife put a planet in the MSL and left it there - magically it was an L2 after extern.  We didn't know why, but we (thought we)  knew it would become an L3 at extern.  I dropped a planet in to protect her - sat there through extern - poof - L2 and her planet was still an L2.  I found a little out of the way website called TW-Cabal and did some reading - live and learn.   Before someone says something - no this didn't happen last night - it happened several years ago.
