Minor glitch when assimilating breen cruisers with another c

posted on June 7th, 2009, 9:50 pm

When we assimilate a breen cruiser it's cloak is not enabled and the icon is grayed out. That stands to reason as the breen cloak has to be researched, and is not readily available.
When I the assimilate a kling or romulan vessel who are cloaking capable, and assign the ships to the same fleet - say fleet 1, when I select 1 the breen cloak is now unlocked. I do not see the breen icon separate from the kling or rom cloak icon.
Instead the breen icon gets unlocked.

If I click on it, only the kling/rom ship will cloak - which is correct of course. But it does look like a minor bug that may want to be addressed.

Sounds like it is just a GUI_Global Error to me.  That usually happens wen something is miss spelled, or the Texture it refers to is missing.

Both buttons are probably in the same place. There are many specials and only so many buttons show up, some are in the same place.

actually it should be fine as it is. it's just the wrong button graphic when you have a mixed race fleet. the other way round, if you play dominion and have boarded a rom/fed/kli vessel with cloak it should be more confusing to have two separate buttons that do the same thing... so i wouldn't change it
