Title: Emp Missile Theory Part 2
Post by: Flashy on February 17, 2010, 12:52:20 PM: I found this Topic: http://forum.outpostuniverse.net/index.php?showtopic=2095 (http://forum.outpostuniverse.net/index.php?showtopic=2095)
Mcshay said, that "by launching a missle directly at a laser array, the missle will always hit the array."
I tested this, but every time I launched a missile at the laser array, it didn`t get hit.

Maybe because I researched Precision Trajectory Projection Software? Or was it luck?

Don't know for sure though.

Post by: Arklon on February 17, 2010, 04:11:21 PM: I think you had to launch it at a specific tile on the array. I also seem to recall that, if you did so, other MDs in range would also fail to destroy it. I'm not sure if this particular bug got fixed, though I know something was fixed about MDs and their ability to shoot down missiles.

Post by: Highlander on February 17, 2010, 04:18:23 PM: Come to think of it, I think the bug is still there.

What was fixed, was the "chance" that the MD would actually hit the missile.

Post by: Highlander on February 18, 2010, 01:05:10 AM: Well, the answer is simple. If people cheat//exploit bugs/Break rules.. Just tell them to stop. If they don't, just quit the game.

Post by: CK9 on February 18, 2010, 02:50:30 PM: I once accidently clicked the center (seriously, I randomly clicked on the screen only to find that it was the center) and whomever I was playing at the time went from having a good time to too suspicious to have any fun. I haven't played a multi game since then, heh

Post by: Spikerocks101 on February 18, 2010, 09:34:24 PM: no worries lop, guess i really shouldnt have mentioned your name, just was stating the point. its any as hell, for i figured having 2 MD's beside each other would counter the problem, but it didnt...

Post by: Hidiot on February 19, 2010, 05:44:32 AM: It didn't, because OP2 draws a connection between the meteor (or missile) and a MD.

In other words, the meteor(or missile) searches for an MD to destroy it. And it only searches for one. If that one fails, the meteor (or missile) will hit.

Post by: CK9 on February 19, 2010, 09:31:52 AM: I seem to recall one game where I had to MD's target a meteor at the same time. It only happened once, so it was probably a hiccup in the computer's memmory
