Anyone else saw super-speed ships?
« on: December 12, 2015, 07:06:09 AM »

I was going to post this on the bug report, but I decided to not to, maybe I am just seeing things...

But here I was testing my mod, and I forgot to enable "hide" console command.

Then I see a pirate trying to get me, he enables burn drive and... start to zip around the screen like a bee on crack, he wasn't just moving at burn drive speed, he was moving at about burn 30 I think, and making some very sharp corners...

when it managed to engage me, it was a group with only destroyers (no frigates).

I wonder what was that.

Well, you've probably officially had one of the weirdest situations ever (that i've heard of in the history of this game)

seen this a few times before, though it's never been to my disadvantage. small fleets sometimes go a little crazy, they'll change directions several times over the course of a few seconds usually at very high speeds after engaging emergency burn.

i usually just chuckle at it. as far as bugs go it seems pretty benign.

not as fast as your burn 30,

but an Fleet of 2 Archbishops and many Teuton wings SHOULD NOT fly at burn 12 without burn drive on...

impossible to win the fight since u get insta bombarded with clarents the moment you step into the fight. And good luck defeating 2 archbishops

Got a snapshot of one. A Jesuit (Burn 10), moving at twice the speed.

yeah, the bug definitely exists. i've seen it several times.

it wasn't just a mirage.
