Hidden ships near wormholes

posted on January 4th, 2009, 6:14 pm

Hi... only been playing the game about a week, but when I'm playing nirvana II, resources permitting and stuff, I usually wack a starbase right on the edge of the wormhole.

It seems whenever I do that, and i've also got friendly ships camping the wormhole, enemies sometimes have a habit of 'dissappearing', although still being able to fire and what not.

It's not exactly a major issue, since I don't do it all that often, but I've noticed it a couple of times recently, usually with (AI controlled) Dom' battleships.

I've had the same thing occur, also around wormholes. I was guarding it (the wormhole) with enormous amounts of torpedo platforms (apparently they are quite good when you have 50+) and ships, with 7 hard borg AI against me (it was on infinite resources, wanted to see what it would be like). Anyway, as waves came through, occassionaly one ship would be ignored by my defences, and would sit there attacking until I explicitly ordered my ships to fire at it.

Which wormhole are you building by? In Nirvana II, every corner wormhole in the centre section is directly next to a small nebula that hides ships that are in it.

I was building all my stuff on the outer wormhole - not in the centre. The unit was no different to usual (visibly) other than my ships would ignore it.

I've noticed that when a lot of stuff starts happening in the game, certain graphics seem to start disappearing.

I've had ships disappear, phaser/disruptor beams and other weapon fire disappear, and I've even seen asteroids disappear.

Not always around wormholes either.
