Pitboss 66 Tech and Setup Thread

Finally done!

[Mjmd]

I'm going to end up delaying us again. Have a kids birthday party we are prepping for tomorrow at our house.

I have a question about the game mechanics. Last round I had several fighters on intercept mission. After logging into the new round, only the fighters stationed in cities were on intercept mission, while those on the aircraft carriers did nothing. I have had this happen in several rounds now. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I am/was in the game frequently during turn changes. In any case, it's pretty annoying, since I can't meaningfully defend myself against other fighters this way. Do you guys have any experience with this? I couldn't recreate it in the sandbox, unfortunately. Mayby it is amultiplayer issue.

Also, I would need a timer extension since I'm away today for Mother's Day.

Added time.

No idea about the intercept mission on carriers; most PBs don't make it this far. Maybe some of the late powers in PB59 knows?

My apologies. I assumed this was a visual bug where it was showing non intercept fighters on board. It seemed like when I shot down fighters the rest then visually disappeared. I wasn't aware it wasn't working.

Charriu on a non mothers day can you investigate? 

This is probably the biggest use of carriers in a long time, so I'm not shocked we are finding weird things. I would say lets pause until resolved?

[Gavagai]

Plemo, I suggest you PM Charriu about this issue. He is, I think, the most competent by far to meaningfully weigh in on that but I do not think he checks the thread regularly.

[Plemo]

Thanks Mjmd for the confirmation. The first time I still thought that I accidentally canceled the intercept mission. The following times I already doubted myself a bit. The bottom line is that I should have just commented on it earlier.

The other thing I once noted was not about the chances of success in destroying a modernization. Rather, there was no air combat, although there were still fighters on an intercept mission. But at the same time, the mission has failed.

Maybe both things are related or with the OSS (synchronization errors) I get quite often when changing rounds (so also the last one).

[civac2]

Synchronization error on turn roll are fairly common. So farI have not noticed them being problematic.

The air combat bugs do sound like trouble.

[Charriu]

Thanks for the PM that was a good idea. I will investigate that. Does anyone know if that same behavior has been noticed in standard BtS?

[civac2]

I very strongly doubt it. There were games at Civforum involving carrier fleets. But can't say for sure atm. We could try to check it using the Test PB.
