Trading "Credit" ships again

posted on April 25th, 2009, 9:52 pm

Was playing a game with 5 other people, and suddenly the yellow guy pulls out somewhat like 8 or 10 dominion Dreadnoughts.  He traded them to one of his teammates to get around the 2 dreadnought limit.

oh, great sorry for that. hope that guy wasn't an asshole who used that exploit on you.
can ship trading not be disabled by not allowing "instant trade" as workaround until the next patch? i am not sure if ship trading is involved in the instant trade feature

Atleast we destoryed the first wave at the cost of two of our bases. Still was a fun game ^^

i am adding checks to the ship trading functions for the ship caps, so that this function should not allow an exploit there anymore

yep, we are currently thinking about, if it should still be possible to trade repair ships, but the receiver will need to have free repair vessel slots. So in conclusion you will still be able to equipp your allies with repair vessels, but only three per player, as intended. If everything is working as it should that feature will apply to carriers ad similar vessels, too. Hard-limited vessels (like mixed-tech units) will still be bound to your very soul!
