| Summary | 0000052: 3.189 Sniper turrets ignore counter-flares on new construction projects | ||||
| Description | http://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,7031.0.html Sometimes when I plop down a new turret, factory, etc. in an enemy sector, their turrets blast it when it still has 0 health, even though I have counterflares already. My guess is that the counter-flare sniper immunity buff isn't affecting the new objects before the snipers fire. Pretty sure I've seen this before and it's a known issue. (Assuming it has to do with the throttling again. Due to the mechanic by while counter-sniper protecting is provided, it can take a few game cycles before a unit which moves into counter-sniper coverage gets the counter-sniper protection. (Being built counts as moving into coverage in this case.) In my case it was counter-missile turrets that exhibited this, but the mechanic is the same. Because of how it works, it's more likely to happen the more units you have present, how many of those are under counter-sniper coverage and the more battles that are going on at the moment. While technically a bug, it's more of a limitation of the current games implementation of the counter-sniper mechanic and it's been tweaked enough that it should be very rare. Do you have any numbers on how often it happens? | ||||
