Avalon bug?

posted on August 28th, 2009, 7:32 pm

If you check the attached picture, you will see I managed to build SIXTEEN Avalons, and still have 5 free Avalon slots.

It seems it's working like the Warp In ship count: when a ship reaches double gold bar (not before), it gets substracted from the total, allowing to call ( in the case of the Avalon, build ) another one.

As the point of having a ship cap is to have limited numbers of certain units, I think this is clearly a bug. Though dropping 48 fighters at once and every 140 seconds is kind of cute.

I don't think it is a bug, I think they purposly removed the avalon slot taking at rank 5. Because it is VERY HARD to get one at rank 5!

Testing now, probably just a overlooked error in the odf.

Actually, it's easier to level up the Avalon than the B5, and that one doesn't have such luxuries. Actually, you can only build 4 B5s because the proto takes up one slot, contrary to the S7.

Hmm, that should be a bug, unless the Devs wanted it to be overlooked because the prototype can launch fighters. Oh Optec!!? 

The Avalon is a bug; no other limited vessel does that at any other rank.

Well, I mentioned the S7, it has a limit of 8 units and, when you finish the proto, the unit count is 0 / 8 while the B5 is 1 /5.

I always thought it was a strange inconsistency.
