Whilst tweaking and test Beta Aquilae 1.3, I came up with these two, among many more

1) observed the AI placing two stations in the same spot (the AI was my ally, and since 3.1.2 allies can see the ghost buildings)

2 & 3) a veteran C-11 attacking an unupgraded starbase. the c-11 didnt have enough weapons to counter the starbase's shield regen, and the c-11 had so much shield strength and fast regen that the starbase couldn't damage it in return. a perfect deadlock.

sorry for double post, file limits.

got some HSAs with some C-11s to recharge them, would have been better with Norways

Ugh, definitely a sight I don't want to see. The less gamers who know about that trick the better - it's too hard to stop people from abusing it as I've learned in the past.

Perhaps the Arties should be switched to a timer, like the Descent's ability.

They will be - I and others had been pushing that solution for it for a number of patches (since 3.0.5...), but in the meantime had just been telling people not to use the ability with them. The Hyper Arty suffers from a number of issues sadly, but at least most people have the sense not to use it in an online game in those ways  .

i've never used HSA online yet, i agree that recharging with norways is naughty, maybe it should be added to the cheats list in the guide.

im not so sure about using C-11s to recharge though, they dont give a huge amount of energy, so to recharge a lot faster you will need to build several C-11s, restricting the rest of your fleet. so it gives u an advantage, but costs a lot and is risky. leaving you with little defence for your HSA.

I've never understood why recharging with a ship that's meant to recharge is bad...

imagine how OP it would be.

you fire 2 shots of your HSAs, then a few nearby norways recharge you (they give 60 energy per use, and have enough energy for several uses i believe) then you fire again. before the enemy can come blow your HSAs up.

there would be no chance to stop them. they would easily flatten your mining. or if they could repeatedly shoot your starbase, they could kill that.

So it only applies to the HSA?
