Phantom Damage

Ships Die a Turn Later

from GalCiv2 Forums
Playing as the Yor, I'm involved in a few wars. Invading a Korath planet, I stole Hardened Hulls (I have tech trading off). This increased the hit points of my attack ships from 23 to 26. I then attacked a Krynn planet. They have absolutely insane defenders, with attack around 120 and defense at 30. I destroyed the defender, but it did 23 points of damage on its shot. The next turn, my badly damaged ship was gone. I suppose it had something to do with the bonus HP not being applied consistently.

How much HP did the ship have after the battle? AFAIK when you get a new global HP bonus, your ships have to auto-repair up to that level, so they'll still have their old HP amount at first.

If you can confirm and reproduce this issue, please send in a zipped save and description of the problem to [email protected].

It had been a turn or two. The ship had 2hp left, and survived the battle. It was in the fleet until the next turn. Having trouble reproducing it, mostly because of the insane damage the defender does. It generally does 40-60, which kills the ship outright.

I had this happen too, but it was in 3d, and I totally forgot about it because trying to build a terror star before researching all of the terror star techs caused the turn button to vanish.

I was able to select the ship and give it orders, but it completely vanished by the next turn. I'll check my copious saves from that game and see if I can find it.
