geosch -> Automatic Design Problems (11/28/2011 11:23:51 PM)

1. Nothing happened when I pressed the "Show Long Range Scanner" button on top of the mini-map. despite the fact I have Monitoring Stations all over the place.
I then checked the Monitoriing Station design and found that there was no Long Range Scanner in the design, but it did have a nice bright red warning on top of the page stating that a Long Ranch Scanner was needed! [8|]
And YES - the game has been on Auto Design since the beginning and NO - I did not make a unique monitor station design.

2. I researched construction yards to the point that I could build 800 size ships. So I went to see what nasty capital ship the game had designed for me, only to see that I could not build one. The game designed ship was size 808 - TOO BIG. Of coursr, the removal of one rail gun solved the problem, but one would hope that the game would have a usable design at these trigger points (for example, when the player researchs Mega Scale Construction, captial ships are then allowed and a usable size 800 design is automatically genrated).
I realize it is an easily solved problem, but as I try to avoid micro managing as much as possible I would prefer that the computer did it right the first time! [:)]

cheers

Did you research long range scanners so it is available for the autodesign to use?




geosch -> RE: Automatic Design Problems (11/28/2011 11:35:19 PM)

yes, LRS with 750000 range is available




ASHBERY76 -> RE: Automatic Design Problems (11/28/2011 11:39:55 PM)

So the A.I is not using this stuff either then.I would report this as a bug in the tech forum.




geosch -> RE: Automatic Design Problems (11/28/2011 11:45:29 PM)

right - done

If you built your monitoring station before researching the long range scanner, they won't work.
You have to either retrofit them (if they are in orbit of a planet) or destroy and rebuild them (if they are alone in space).

Also the scanners are a somewhat pale white area which is not quite as obvious as it used to be. Check the design on the monitoring station if it has a scanner, for any "ship" (they are all ships) you can click the design in the selected box when having the guilty part selected.
