ships running out of fuel

Post by ojms »

Hi,

I was just running a test and noticed that ships don't always leave enough fuel to get back to base.

Please find a test scenario attached and also the auto saves.

Thanks. Will have the guys take a look. Look the margin is too slim.

In the meantime you can prevent this by using the 25% withdrawl threshold in ROE's.

Hi Mike,

thanks didn't see that option before. 25% is pretty high it's a shame it's not the same as the aircraft settings, 10%, 15% etc.. but hopefully will prevent any issues.

Cheers

Its not a shame. It works great.

We'll take a look at the other thing. Better way to spend time.

Another issue I've just spotted is that when ships go to port when they leave they don't rejoin the group they were previously in.

Yeah we're working on that one. Issue is figuring out a way that game will remember what the original group composition and formations are. This is definitely not a trivial coding task however because you've always been so positive about what we do we're willing to take it on.

Cheers Mike, I'm terrible for finding issues that annoy people.

However I really appreciate your work on this.
