| Post subject: | Capture Fail percent |
On the new TWGS servers i have noticed it has become inefficient to try to cap alien ships. in command center tweditor the ] option is defaulted to 75% meaning 75% of the time even a 1fig attack on empty ship will blow it up, in alot of edits thats no good. like being blue in a subzero if u cant cap alien ships and cant cash like a red it leaves a big advantage to reds who can afford to buy a couple redrums and dump cash to try to cap. Its not a gripe just something i wanted to mention to other sysops if alien ships should be part of the integral edit strategies this should be adjusted |

I'm not sure what you're seeing. The default is "never", or 0%. |

in every game i have banged on my server Distinct Tradewars using several .twa's from helix's twa database it has defaulted to 75% fail rate i also noticed on a few of the recent bangs that alien ships are blowing up even with 0shields and 0 figs. example on microblaster.net i was attempting to assist a returning player. i left an ascian troller 1 sector outside SD with 0 shields 0 figs he hit it with 1 fig in a corp battleship and it blew up so i went a step farther and bought a redrum and moved it to the same sector. again 1fig attack ship was destroyed. i pm'd micro and from his response i believe his setting defaulted to the same 75% failure rate that is happening on mine. also in older twgs versions u could cap alien ships easily once shields are popped 1 fig let them attack till figs gone next wave of 1 its urs recently 3 out of 4 are blowing up even with 0 shields 0 figs anda 1 fig attack wave The tedit shows the default is never however importing .twa's that were created prior to the new TWGS it defaults to 75% instead of never. im not saying its a bug im just stating its a setting sysop's should make sure to check. |

Yes, it was 75%. I have changed it to 0%/never. |

Ah, ok, I see what you're saying now. I'll make sure there isn't a data conversion bug going on there. I looked at the field and it's new to this version, which means it should have a value of zero. If you can email me the TWA in question I'll look it over and see how this is happening. |

The TWA i used after installing the beta was the 1 BIG D posted in the twa archives forum here on classictw. one of the sticky posts. i also didnt put it in the bug forum because its not a bug. after the initial import if u change the setting it will save it when rebangs are done. as long as sysops know to change/set it initially |

If somehow there's a non-zero value in this field after updating its data to the current version, that's a bug that could effect many different settings. I always work under the assumption that a new field will have a zero value. |
