In version 1.08b, I noticed that when the player's ship is in this position: [see included picture]
then the enemy ship does not shoot us while we still can shooting. It's like a cheat, when the enemy is too hard I can take this position to be untouchable. :roll:

The second think is that, when I fighting with this starting groups in the arena, theirs ships, [in in most cases], are rolling forward, or do nothink. (In arena I want to fight a little, not to shoot down stationary targets :wink:)

Another fun one is the hole in the arena that you can go though.

"Very helpful response" :roll:
However, in this second situation enemy ships [Those in groups] in arena, doing NOTHINK. It looks like a bug...

The " hole " is the second gate in the Null Barrier : direct line from the main gate to the exact position on the other end ; I posted in the picture section of this i believe. http://www.neurohack.com/transcendence/ ... &start=120

However: the reason they do not fire at you is the same if your on a active station : the station area itself covers you : the ships are "only hostile to YOU" they are actually Constructive Chaos.

Code: Select all

<Sovereign UNID="&svGladiator;"
			name="gladiator"
			alignment="constructive chaos"
			>
		<Relationships>
			<Relationship sovereign="&svPlayer;" disposition="enemy" mutual="true"/>
			<Relationship sovereign="&svGladiator;" disposition="enemy"/>
		</Relationships>
	</Sovereign>

And yes: it is an exploitable issue :
the only way to fix it is to put a barrier develops around the station blocking the player from exploiting the station presence as a defense once the player moves away or undocks : and the barrier drops after the last ship is destroyed.
