I don't understand your question. Please rephase it. Thanks.

[Tino]

ok.
1. I looked at my probes a few times a day, on my first look my probe need 42 minutes to arrive when i look later for my probe it needs over 4 h to arraive. I know in the last round we had the same problem and i thought it is allready fixed but it dosent.
2. i cant send out new probes i type the coords in and click on "start probes" but nothing happen.
3. Im unsure mabe its new, i can builp around 5 probes but have allways only 3 probes in my screen but when i destroy one probe i have the set up for a new probe.

greetings

Hmm I also thought the bug with the probes was fixed... and unless it is a wrsp it shouldn't be something like from 42 minutes to 4 hours anyway.
I also sometimes can build more than 4 probes...

[peace of love]

i had the prob myself...

it can happen that you have 4 probes (without final exploration)... by accident you have two probes in the same slot.. you have to delete one of the probes in the problematic slot and the other occurs and functions normally... thats what happened in my situation...

peace

ya i can make 4 probs too but only 3o fthem come out

i thought we fixed that bug on friday?

there was this: if you log in into spacetrace and the first thing you do is to look in your production screen, then there you can build new probes although you already have 3 of them, but you shouldent cause they wouldnt function normally.

when did it last happpen, that you could build more?

[God]

around 2 days ago, so i think its fixed

Ihave the same Problems with my Probes like Tino.I can´t understand this. And the arrive times of my Probes are not realtime. The time changed from 20 min to 2 hours ore longer.

[admin]

well, i deleted the double probes now , so the problems should be solved

some of you might have lost a probe now, but anotherone came up, that was in the same slot

[Tino]

Is it fixed too, that the probes make those time jumps ? 2 firend of mine have still the problem ...


Tino

[admin]

are you sure? it should be fixed by now

[LadyMetal]

Oh grat! I can send my dsp´s out of the stock!

[Tino]

i got another problem...

i cant send out mails to other players. I tried to send out my com list to a new member i past it in and when i hit the "send mails" box, nothing happen. Lady Metal got the same problem.

[admin]

you are right, that happened if the message was too long,

but now it works

[Tino]

after the 20th try i have send the mail
hope it work now .
Thx for fixing the prob.

Had send my wrs probe to a sector 4500 ly away. It took more than a day to reach there. Somehow it got deflected and scan a position 2000 ly away. Have checked the coordinates and the distance when I sent the probe. Is there a probe deflector ship?

[admin]

deflector sounds interesting, what exactly do you mean?

[limsky]

A ship that can emit a deflector shield against probing/scanning. Effective range 1.5 sector radius. Any probe that move within the effective range will be deflected by a certain angle. Calculation is: angle of incident=angle of deflection. The travelling time will not change. But the final coordinate is unpredictable. This will make the game more interesting. The deflecting building on a planet can have an effective deflecting range of say 3 sectors.
