• Pirate Attacks

    From apam@21:1/125 to All on Tue May 8 09:05:42 2018
    Hey

    Just wondering what peoples thoughts are on the Pirate Attacks in
    Galactic Dynasty?

    I came out of protection today and got attacked by pirates 3 or 4 times,
    none of them were successful attacks (but wiped out a lot of my troops).

    At present pirates are always about evenly matched, I'm wondering if
    perhaps the strength should be random, for example when a pirate attack
    occurs, it might be a very pathetic attack, or a mediocre attack, or a
    strong attack.

    Nice idea. It will bring some randomness into the game. However it shouldn't occur too often. The best would be they'd come again for an easy loot. And possibly attack more the stronger ones. Just a random thoughts.

    Best regards

    Well, I think I was going to get attacked by pirates...

    events.lua:107: attempt to perform arithmetic on a nil value (local 'pirate_fighters')

    I got this after my 3rd or 4th turn today...

    Oops!

    Well count yourself lucky! LOL, looks like I had a typo on line 83 of events.lua. It's fixed now, probably best to leave the error in for this
    games then everyone can equally experience a glitch in the matrix :P

    Hello Apam,

    Just wondering what peoples thoughts are on the Pirate Attacks in
    Galactic Dynasty?

    Very neat feature. I'm not sure what's the trouble. But I'm out of the game again. After the pirate attack I went to negative numbers with planets. And I cannot afford certain types of it after all. So far I'm posting screenshot.

    I mean I could afford according to balance. But the planets just don't add to negative number or so.

    See the current state of the game on my side:

    https://ibb.co/cTzmUS

    I could send the whole folder for analysis.

    Glory to the winners.

    Best regards

    Shinobi

    Thanks shinobi, I think I may have fixed it now. Perhaps we should make
    it so that the first person to find a game breaking bug wins the game
    lol, or at least keep a tally of points :) Might make bug hunting a bit
    more fun..

    I had planned to do some testing on the next version by setting up a mini
    test league, but I think for now there's not much point until we get a
    stable game working on fsxnet.

    Also, thanks a lot for the screenshot. It really helps to see exactly
    what you're seeing.

    Andrew

    My target really isn't to break the game. I'm sorry to be the idiot who
    reports when things goes broken. But at least You'll have the game
    idiot-proof after me joining for several games.

    Also, thanks a lot for the screenshot. It really helps to see exactly
    what you're seeing.

    You're welcome. I'm glad that was any good.

    Very nice game, BTW. Thanks for the support You're providing in the terms of development and bug-fixing.

    Best regards

    Shinobi
