Problem with Ascians and Subterfuge regen...

Ferrengi are doing fine. They rengen and hit figs as usual.

Ascians and Subterfuge were around in early game... but just seemed to drop off one day.

Sage says they are regenerating in Sector 0.

Alien server has been restarted multiple times..

Maintain Home Sectors is turned OFF in UTW games to curb the alien planet farming... which may or may not have anything to do with this.
Maintain home sectors has been flipped on and off to see if it would help.

still.. no subs or ascians. still regenerating in sector 0.


I did notice while the aliens were around that if you get a fig hit in a certain sector... then fly there to cap the ship.. they may not be there Nor in any surrounding sectors. But.. if you wait in that sector and remove your fig they will hit it again. Seems like they were "wormholing" around.

I know few people care about this..

but none of you smarties have ever experienced a problem like this and have any ideas why it happens...

other than just straight data corruption

Another oddity ...

"" Ascian Wanderers claimed LoneStars OREinator 1.5 [63799] ""


the aliens are claiming planets when they arnt even 'really' in the game.

this planet is inside a bubble where a corp was oreing. as the planet was created... it was almost instantly claimed by Ascians.

this happened, in this case, 3 planets in a row.

Sounds like data corruption to me.

The alien manager does some pretty weird stuff to keep aliens running. It's not surprising it'd break stuff occasionally.

Thats what I was afraid of..

Would figs or mines curb the spawning of aliens??

Sage says hes seen where figs or mines in the spawning sectors of the aliens will stop them from spawning.

Although he may be right.. Ive never seen this before. Ive been in many games where the aliens sectors were kept full of figs and they spawned away as normal (just bouncing off figs).

Possible cause ??? turning Maintain Home Sectors OFF ??

when the op turns this setting off I notice that aliens do not spawn in their home sectors any longer. They spawn randomly all over the universe (including fed space)
