Tech Assimilator issue

posted on March 9th, 2011, 9:58 pm

Whenever I use the Tech Assimilator station to get an enemy special, the ship goes in and research starts as normal. After it's finished, it starts to research again before starting reseach again after that one has finished. Rince and repeat.

Anyoneone know what could cause that? First I though it was the patch project, but itrecently did the same without it. Now I'm thinking of the hidden = X code.

Hm, Tyler, are you saying it does the same with no Patch Project and just Stock AII or?

It did the same without the Patch Project.

I had this too. It fills up all the slots on the tech assimilator before it disassembles the ship. Only then does it finish the job and allow all the cubes to use the special weapon. Weird.

I don't usually bother with the tech assimilator.  If I do, I only use the tech assimilator beam on the individual cubes.  That way, I can use certain cubes as support vessels.

The Tech Assimilation station isn't a Cube-exclusive thing, that's just the most obvious part. I use it to give Assimilated ships their weapons. So much easier than taking the research station, assuming they even research anything.
