Summary0001658: Wave of 20,000+ ships after killing a counter-attack post?
DescriptionAs the title says, I was recently hit with a MASSIVE wave after destroying 1 Mark III Counter-Attack Guard Post. As you can see in the first screenshot, planet Roar only had 1 Counter-Attack post, but after destroying it in the second screenshot, I got hit with what seems to be a ridiculously oversized wave.

I'll see your 20k and raise you with my 90k wave.

Seriously, something needs to be done about these counter-attack posts. Its currently nigh on impossible in this release to take a planet that has a counter attack post due to these absolutely insane waves. :\

Agreed, there was absolutely no way I could have won the game after that.

LOL WTF you weren't joking

I'm currently digging through these related reports looking for a save from before generating the offending wave (generally via antagonizing a counter-attack post), if you have your save for this, please post it :)

Uploaded a save with a couple of MkIV Bomber Starships helpfully provided next to a MkIII counter-attack post. Every time I've destroyed it waves have been generated from 60k to even 100k ships!

Have fun with it keith! :D

Ok, I made one fix we knew about needing and I got a spawn of somewhat less than 6.4k, so that's a move in the right direction ;)

It is. From the wiki for 4.042:

Fixed unintended inflation of counter-attack-wave size. May still be some issues but this should fix the biggest of them.

I'm going to go back to the actual game and get to the planet with the CPA then upload the save right before my units destroy it.

Okay, save attached. In this game, simply destroy the Orbital Command on planet "Roar" and you will get (in version v4.41) anywhere from 7,000 to 20,000+ size Counter-Attack Waves.

This should be fixed for 4.042; it may still be too high but won't be nearly as susceptible to a "runaway" situation like it is in 4.041.

Cool! I can't wait for it so I can keep playing :)
