This was a kewl one , I hooked tow just before aliens killed my ship and pod'd me.
I warped out with message I lost exp and my pod flee'd

The perk was .. I was still towing a usable ship so I discarded the pod.

The bug is .. I should have broke tow after the podding.

In beta @ Swamp BBS

Nice catch! I know JP has more work to do on the aliens.

That is a pod bug , not an alien bug.

I was invading the alien planet when I found the bug.

btw , only one alien planet left to take ;)

Maybe the tractor beam is located in the pod?

Might need more info on this one Vid.
I know you could always force someone to flee if you hit them with 125% of the figs that they had left and they were in a ship that had a higher Defensive Odds than yours had Offensive even if autoflee was off. Or were just hitting them with 1 fig, plus is this your server or another. I know I have fired at people on Ice 9 with autoflee off and with a single fig they say there. Just wondering what the setup or circumstances were to see if it can be duplicated on another Beta Server.

Fair enough Toyman , it was on SwampBBS in game D the newist beta ...
I beleive it was an alien in an IG ship against my Pirate ship ..
IG ship has 100k figs , I have max 50k figs .

It waved me with about 10k I think , and my auto flee is always off.

In normal game , if auto flee is off , and I'm online , you could out gun me and wave me for 60k and I'de stay fast.

This beta seems to be broken because I flee if they out gun you and wave you.
At least that is how it appears to me.

Am I wrong ? TWGS 1.03 to Beta are different in this respect ?

Here is the third bug in the same game at SwampBBS TWGS v3.14 Beta

I know the game is over and hopefully the sysop will get with me for advice on fixes
so his regular players can enjoy the game more.

But for now .. the Problem :

As with past versions of TWGS , when you over load a game with aliens
(this game has 65 + per the 4 races).

Extern has not ran for at least 2 days now.
Although the other games on that server had Extern run correctly.

I checked with the T-menu * feature looking for last bust cleared on day XX

Maybe the SysOp can TWA the game and send it to J.P. for his review.
It appears the Aliens are still an issue in this release :(

I'll keep checking back in hopes of fixes and another release.

I haven't heard anything of late on bug fixes or development. Is the application holding in Beta test for a specific period of time?

No specific time period involved. As far as I can tell they are still working out timing issues. That is something they need to finish and get right before moving to another part of the beta

I haven't seen any progress on the timing in quite a while.

Last I heard there were chicken pox interferring with the beta development.

I'm certain we'll get more updates soon, as soon as everyone's healed and rested.

That is a very good reason not to be doing anything.

If you can think back and let me know it may help to get the maintenance problem fixed up.
