Asteroid Line
« on: March 19, 2015, 04:44:55 PM »
Seems like some battlefields with heavy asteroids make a line of asteroids along the bottom of the screen, probably due to bounds checking. Makes your ships crash into them upon entry.

Took a screenshot, this was with Ironclads on, but I think it's a problem with the base game. I have a larger than 300 deployment point fleet, since that seems to affect the map size.

Thanks - yep, longstanding known issue. Hadn't seen it show up horizontal before, though, that's a "fun" (for the ships being deployed) twist.

Perhaps a solution to that issue is to move those asteroids near the boundaries 'virtually' 'up and down' on the 'z-axis' by scaling the asteroids up and/or down and (and maybe some sort of greying/transparency/blending) so that when ships are deployed they never hit anything but you can still see them. As the asteroids move away from the edge the closer they are to z-axis '0' where the rest of the combat plane is.
