Unable to target Satellites.

Submitted by gizmet on Thu, 2007-10-04 09:22. Space Empires V General

Hello, I am new to the game, only been playing for about a week or two.

I have patch 1.44 installed, only that patch mind you so hopefully I don't need to install them in order to repair this issue.

Anyway, whenever I enter an area with enemy satellites I cannot target them, but they target me no problem. I target them and it immediately switches to the planet/warp hole that they are around. I have the same problem with bases sometimes, not all the time, but occasionally, but I have this issue with satellites every time they are present.

Thanks for any help.

Hi there your best using point defence weapons about level 4 or 5 for best results or mabe some fighters instead?

However just ocasonally some sat`s doploy inside the planets red box area? and this can cause you not to be able to target them, yet they still target you?

I found that checking to see if the sat`s position is inside the red deployment square of the planet when you carnt target them, will confirm the incorrect computer placement when they launched?

The sat can be repositioned if you wish?
Either buy their owining player or host entering the race and moving it to outside the planets red box location.

It is a minor glitch and does not seem to happen oftern but is there never the less.

Hope this helps Spuda

Satellites are hard to see and click on. When they are close to a planet, even if you *can* click on them, your weapons may not have enough range as your ships go up over the planet.

Defensively, it's a great place for satellites, but it's pretty much the only time that combat goes into 3D.
