Tavara "Boarding" Bug

The whole thing is kind of balancing for the Borg, to have to nanite swarm before using boarding

Yes, but not if you use Matrix Teleport in the same manner...

Yeah, but I didn't survive long enough to get to boarding, and it was a bot... MT was fine

Matrix Teleport is unbalanced AS A BUG. Plain and simple. Transporting 150 drones onboard allows you to insta capture almost any vessel in the game, and most stations in two usages. Don't use bug--report them.

Incidentally I looked into your SF command bug and I can't figure out a way of replicating it.

Cool . So does that mean you guys messed with something recently--I remember these abilities working in version 3.0 as well as PR... soooo 

i assume the bug existed even in the old version, nothing should have been changed on these abilities since then. i guess no-one really noticed that there is a problem with this ability

I can't remember for certain whether in version 3.3 and above it worked, but I am almost certain that in 3.0-3.3 the Tavara worked fine... and in version PR it most definitely did work... I know that bit of information doesn't help much 

I know I never noticed due to the unfortunate fact that I rarely get these big warbirds out, and even rarer to I get the special

The bug was reported, and as I said, it was the AI I used it against. I dont even play Assimilate against other players. Sorry if that was confusing. Also I havent been able to re create my SFC bug either...

Yes, just a bit confusing...

i'll double check that. however we haven't found another solution than to rewrite some code. it could of course be that something broke with one of the last versions, but the boarding features of armada are completely untouched as far as i know
