Invisible legacy bonus weapons - Bug?

from GalCiv2 Forums

In some games, the UP resolution passes that puts weapons on all transports.  That is, all transports get weapons w/o the player needing to add or pay for them or even use the space points.  Or, for that matter, to research the weapons.

What I've noticed is that if I use those same designs in later games, the weapon values are still there!

That is, if I had a design called, say, "Invader2000Sp8" in the game with the UP resolution that gained 1 point of weapons in each category, and then built an "Invader2000Sp8" in the next game, those weapons values reappear.  However, if I re-design an invasion transport with the same components and give it a new name, it has no weapon values.

I wonder if the legacy weapons will work in the new game?  Do I pay maintenance on the ships, since they have weapons values?  I will have to check.

Anyone else seen this?

I've never seen that happen. I've had the proposal come up a few times, but I don't believe I've ever seen what you describe. Then again, it's possible I was only using the default transport at the time (which certainly doesn't gain 'legacy weapons').

In one of my several current games that proposal is actually in force right now; I could try experimenting with it.

Remember to name and save a design that is displayed to have weapon values despite having no weapons actually installed.

Then, in your next game, build a ship of that same design by name.
