Yes, ok, thanks.

I'll download and install the newer 3.1.4 first, then download 3.1.5.

I've noticed that when Borg Assembly Matrix fires a torpedo, it is surrounded by a strange greenish glow. Is that a bug or a feature?

thats a known bug for all graviton torpedoes for computers with old graphics cards. happens to me and boggz too. its listed in the known bugs thread:
Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations - 3.1.5 known bugs (table on page 1)

everyone should check that out when they find bugs.

In 3.1.4 i received crashes when i want to use/build/develop mixed technologies as Borg.
And there was a bug (but the helping one) - borg station holding beam does not consume any energy, so it can steal any ship. Correct me if im wrong.

But this is best game i ever played

How could the Borg Mixed-Tech have crashed? It doesn't even build anything other than the ally repair...

The station holding beam never took energy and still doesn't, that's not a bug I don't think; it's justified by the massive amount of energy a station could generate. It has the potential to take any ship, but in reality can't; the assimilation rate is so slow that any fleet large enough to attack the main base would likely destroy the station first. Unless it's the Starbase using it, in which case it'll kill the target itself.

Welcome to the forums scarto.

tyler already explained station holding beam, stations have loads of energy to spare, so they can sustain the beam indefinitely.

hoep you enjoy your time here

Still hoping that annoyance will get fixed in a future version.

Can't fix what ain't broken.

Good thing we agree that a permanent tractor beam is broken. You could almost call it OP while it would be easily fixed by giving it usage of special energy.

Even in the series ships have options to escape from a tractor beam (destroy tractor emitter e.g.?) but in FO there is no such thing. It needs to be changed sooner rather than later.

Edit: stupid typo

I didn't say it was, I'm one of the supporters. I said you can't fix something that isn't broken. It's not OP because it's a pitiful assimilation weapon, despite the lack of a cost.

Speaking of which, is there any progress on the exploit that allows escape from holding/assim beams, which is particularly unfair on the station beam? (Activating a replaceweapon such as type-3 torpedoes on a galaxy to break the beam)

That could actually be an interesting feature. Otherwise the station beam would not have a real counter.
