Weird from a player standpoint, but not really once you understand the code. Every ship must belong to one of the 10 player groups. 8 are human players, and 2 are computer players. This even includes dyson gatlings, freedom fighters, and renegades. I don't think there is a "neutral" faction. Ships that are neutral are given scripts and made "uncommandable" to prevent the player from commanding them. What the real bug here is that the Zenith Trader is not immune to cloaking. |
|
|
I always thought minor factions inherited from one of the AIs, seeing as we disabled Speed Racer AI as the Trader going on steroids got the AI a serious number of builds. :P |
|
|
If you are cloaking the Zenith Trader, then clearly it is on Player 1s team, for whatever reason. Maybe you did something that forced it to player 1, rather than an AI player's? |
|
|
We've certainly not done anything that should cause that, which means I guess either: A. Something has gone wrong. B. They changed it so that certain Sub-factions are now Player 1 affiliated C. They somehow receive effects from both, which as you said, is unlikely due to the team array code. |
|
|
something to test on this is to check what happens to your trader signal when it enters an ai planetary cloak. |
