Hi Everyone,

while testing I ran into the AI using a strike cruiser to build a starbase? :shock:

In theory a cloaked TT can build a station. But this doesn't seem to be the case. I'd use F-11 to check this.

Or a glitch in shiplist.sst gave the strike cruiser function 09 (TT) instead of 03?

Is this a starbase or an outpost? Shoud be outpost (wrong name)?

And what's up with scanner range 5? And why isn't the strike cruiser cloaked?

Dunno what's going on there. Savegame edited (AI tasks corrupted)?
I don't know how many bugs is too many but that point is reached somewhere before however many in BotF is.

well ship spying this was in a blackhole, also MUM has cloaked romulan TT's.

so maybe this combo did not allow me to see TT?

too late to use F11, and saved game was not edited.

An unmodded black hole affects only scan strength of the own and adjacent sectors i.e. doesn't matter in this case.

Your second picture shows scan strength 5 in the starbase sector (cursor position). Default is 30 to see cloaked ships.

Confess, you just wanted to test if we still pay attention.... :wink:

Nice. :up: Twenty years ago (in my own BoP light mod) me too gave the romulan colony ships and TTs cloak ability - and I never regretted it.

But you should check the uncloaked romulan ships. Do you use cloack default fix for task forces? viewtopic.php?p=28058#p28058

Note the update is just an addition i.e. main fix still required when using this: viewtopic.php?p=30072#p30072

no, I did not even notice scan strength and it just shows how memory fades with age on my part lol :wink:
