Thanks Scrat - that would be what a bug looks like! Good Job!

Now we need to know what game and server you saw this on.

Well I'm assuming the behavior is intentional since it has as specific message saying it's turning off the interdictor. Anyway the server is: bbs.legionhq.net:2002 running TWGS v2.10

I am having the same problem there as well. I was capping aliens and the thing just shut down without even moving a sector =-?

Did you have a photon accident or were you photoned?
That will also turn off IG.

Nope no photons on board.

Ditto I was actually in the middle of attack a alien and it magically shut off...

You're both in the same game?

It doesnt look like a bug. A bug wouldn't give a message.



What server is it and which game?

H

Cruncher - yes we are both in the same game.

Helix - I agree, scroll back up and you'll see that along with the server addy (there's only one game).

From the V screen:
Ver# 3.24 Gold running under TWGS v2.

"This should only happen if there's an Interdictor powerup delay. The point of the powerup delay is so whenever you move into a sector there's a pause before you can trap someone, but if you're already in a sector and someone else moves in, you'll be able to trap them immediately. So if you move to another sector in any way, the IG should power off prior to moving. This is true of both the IC and PIG.

Thank, Prom.

Yeah, you'll only see that if the IG powerup delay is set above 0. It defaults to 0, so you won't see it often. But basically, if there wouldn't be a point to a powerup delay if you could just turn it on, then warp into another sector where someone else is sitting and they'll immediately be interdicted.

Now, the other report, of the IG going off while you're in combat with an alien, that could be a bug. Does this only happen with Gold aliens? Is it a consistent behavior? Any info you can give me on that, I'd appreciate.
