Combat Mishap

[raphael]

Rostin, if it gets too bothersome in the future, tell me. There are easier and simpler ways to deal with things like this, especially with corps that we don't have a NAP with.

Has anyone seen sodium or chloride present in any potential mining deposits?

[Rostin]

I've seen Chlorine in some gas giants I think... Not sure where, I've just come across it in my travels

lol, ok who left all this COM at HJB 13040 A1 . four station and total attack power 38,821,162   
Attacker with   2120668 power.   Vs.   Defender with   38821162 power.
 
Odds of victory
1       183
 
Time needed to position / initiate attack:
189h 32m 44s 

if no one can finish it. can Emi clear the COM out?

[Rostin]

I wish that could have been me...

(edit: not because I want to block you from doing a COM, but because it would be sweet to have that much power )

There is an expiry timer on unheld combat timers. Just not sure how long.
With regard to the thread though, which everyone is missing with Rostin's first query, is why didnt his guns fire in the first wave. Not sure we have all the information at hand other than the combat report. Were you powered down and weapons turned off perhaps?

[Rostin]

No, I was full powered. I guess this is a problem JJ encountered some time back when you leave a planetary force it messes up the attack.

[Dadds]

yeah you are right Rostin. i posted my thoughts late at night and didnt read through it as well as i could have done. its the wave 3 thing where only 1 v 1 item gets to shoot one time only.

Sir Emi, this absolutely NEEDS to be fixed in the next update. Please... This is the absolute dumbest thing in the game to wait HOURS for an attack that ends up shooting myself in the foot.

I can't believe this crap is STILL happening and I can't believe I STILL fall for it

[Raptor]

So, you're telling me the only progress you made between those two reports is the step up from Commodore to Consul? 


But seriously: what a cr@ppy bug that is!

[Irredrache]

This screwed me over a week ago, too. Hopefully, it will be resolved. It's one of the only things left on the patch list!

[raphael]

Funny, that is not an issue with my COMs (I still have a few hundred mk 1 labs scattered around).
