Hi all,

I had mothed a set of cannons in a sector in a game i'd been playing in a few times. The last time i got in in with the idc and deployed a fig.

Background, the people i was invading had disbanded so the owners did not interact with the planets. Also game info is: Door, v3.11.55 [GOLD OFF] [MBBS OFF].

Alright, the last quasar shots i got before i deployed the fighter were the following:

7,742
5,496
2,582
7,209
4,204

Alright, so i xported to my iss, and warped in the planet... got max figs and shields, and exited/entered game to begin a little more mothing using no turns...

Upon entering the game the iss went kaboom, by these quasar shots:

14,974
17,079
2,324
26,786

Again nobody coulda modded the quasar settings, and the time differential between the last shots on the idc, and the exit/entering of the game was about 2 minutes.

Is there something i'm being stupid about here or does this look funny? :)

Thanks
-LT

There was a strange thing going on with Quasars in that version!

Once, I mothed 5 planets down to under 100 damage from each planet, then, suddently, the planets were up to full strength again and I had to moth them down all over again!

Gotta agree with SGO, I saw this in a 3.11.58 version the other day. Black Fox and I had cannons nearly drained cost a ton of figs, went and bought more figs, came back, and cannons were at nearly 50% of their original fuel.

yup. sometimes quasars decide to refuel themselves. its very annoying, heh. dont ask me why, dont ask me how, they just do. heh. i think it mostly happens pre-3.12 i would have to defer to JP or EIS to see if it got fixed or what causes it to happen in the first place.

It mostly happens with rogue planets after you warp in a planet of your own. I'm not sure why.

I've had it happen to me and the planets weren't rogue shrug. Also, I was a happy recipient of this glitch once. A bunch of guys mothed the tar out of me, and I logged in the next day and my planets were FULL of ore :)

Aww, thanks for the replies this is definatly what happened then. I did warp in a planet and the planets in question were rogue.

Is this an issue only in older versions or current as well, just curious.

SGO - that's why I qualified with mostly. 4 out of 5 reports I get on it happen in the scenario I listed

LT - I think I've heard a report of it happening in 3.12 as well.
