Technically the 5 tech line restriction only exists because I didn't want ARS to be overpowered. I don't know if I care that you can use the DS hack to exceed 5, since the DS hack comes with a significant cost. |
|
|
It also seems to allow for hacks to get the same ship line into the same fleet multiple times, is that intended too? So far it seems to have caused no issues and increased ship cap without adding a 2nd line, which would be fine by me. |
|
|
You shouldn't be allowed to get 2 ship lines of (say) DS Phantoms. Doing the hack again should just get you more phantoms. |
|
|
If all of that is intended I think this issue can be closed. Just thought the Dark Spire hacks should follow the same rules as ARS. |
|
|
So is hacking to get more of a ship an intended mechanic? If so, I need to open a report that you can't hack to add more of a ship to a fleet with 5 slots, it gives the error about not being able to have more than 5 slots. |
|
|
As far as I understand it, with ARS you may hack yourself an entirely new ship line added to that Centerpiece, but only under 2 conditions: A) The fleet currently has at most 4 ship lines (excluded things like for example Hydra Heads which technically belong to that fleet) and B) Doesn't have the ship design hacked. At least last time I checked, might be wrong on that one. The Dark Spire hacks seem to ignore these two rules. But getting higher amounts of ship lines in the same fleet is indeed intended. |
|
|
You can hack to get ships of the same ship design. With the classic fleet its pretty easy to find ARS with VWings/Bombers/Corvettes and hack them to get more than the starting 40 ships. This issue is when you find something like 2 Siphoner ARSs, if the first ARs puts you at 5 slots, in order to hack the second one and add to the first set, you need to trade the Siphoner to a fleet with less than 5 slots and then run the hack, then swap back when done. |

Dark Spire Hacking uses different rules than ARSs |
