Federation-Federation mixed tech bug

posted on November 19th, 2009, 8:38 pm

One of these topics, I read that FO was designed for one avatar to be able to capture another avatar and use both of them.
I tried this with the federation, but there was a problem. Once I got to ship building, with a captured mason, I needed Starfleet Chasis 1/2/3. I had already done 1 and 2 as Risner. I could not select 1 2 or 3 as mason. The reasons were for 1 and 2, already researched. For 3, It needed 1 and 2. I could not finish mason's tech tree. The saber's I got were an awesom compliment to Risner's forces though.

You need to build all the stations again. I think it's more intended than a bug.

Just tried it and can confirm.  I was Risner, built all the buildings, teched up to level 2, then captured a mayson constructor.  Built Antares Yard, SF Science, Engineering and Euradi yard with mayson constructor.  The mayson chassis upgrades are not accessable, for the reasons locutus stated. 

So there is no way to ever level up as mayson because they are "already researched", but don't allow mayson shipyards to produce higher level ships.  Granted, you don't need to do any chassis upgrades with mayson because you can build Norways, Mark-IIs and Torpedo Platforms.  Any Remores, Defiants, and Sovs you'd want to build from Risner yards anyway.  But it's the thought that counts.

the requirements when boarding constructors of the same faction but a different avatar is inconsistent from faction to faction due to technical reasons we are working on a system to allow better control of those features, but that will require a patch or two
