Sporator bug

[Spyder]

As you can see in the following battle report, sporators worked, but did not seem to bother the apollos as they should have. Anyone explain this to me?

Seems fine to me. Sporator modifies your C2 to x/11 so you need 2 appolos do destroy 10 C2 ships (after first fire x/1 and after second x/-9, so destroyed)


>your class 2 vs enemy class 3: V
>enemy:
>7 apollo cruiser
>
>3 apollo cruisers destroy 30 ships <------------------------here

(7 div 2) * 10 = 30 C2 ships

10 left with x/1


>your class 3 vs enemy class 3: V
>enemy:
>3 apollo cruiser
>
>2 apollo cruisers destroy 20 ships <-----------------here


(1 + ((3-1) div 2)) * 10 = 20 C2 ships


all seems fine, so where is the bug?


regards

[Spyder]

if that was the case, then it would read 7 apollos destroy 30 ships, but I think the other apollos were jammed.

I believe it was as I told, but the report just do not show the total number of appolos that attacked. In class 3 vs class 3 fight all his 3 appolos must act, and it show

2 apollo cruisers destroy 20 ships

so it is clear it only count to battlereport when the appolos destroy ships and if the appolos act but not kill any ships it just do not include.

in the class 2 vs 3 fight the 4 C3 jammed ships were jammed probably after the first 3 C3 ships took their turn. So it had no impact (remember you had only 20% emp ships in your class 2)

[Spyder]

We'll just have to test it, I had a duplicate battle today, so I think the only thing changed is the reporting, as I say it used to give results that were quite odd, like 2 appollos destroy X ships more apollos destroy x+1 ship etc etc
