Enemy ships passing through warp point blockade... |
i have all my border warp points blockaded with fleets of 6+ ships and the enemy just warps through and starts roaming around my systesms with no combat taking place.
This is stock 1.66 on pbw.
I couldn't find this problem listed anywhere else in the forums. What gives?! There is no sight obscuration on the warp point. And sometimes even when i set ATTACK SEEK my fleet will move to the enemy ship but not attack it.
Mines seem to be the only reliable methode of defending warp points?!
Re: Enemy ships passing through warp point blockade...
So far it is only one point they are coming through. its still very early in the game and i havn't met very many races. There is no cloak tech and no stealth armour. plus it is stock game... i didn't think warp points had sight obscuration in stock?
maybe i'm wrong. guess i should just beef up my sensors and see if that helps. any idea what level i would have to be at to see ships coming through the warp point??
Re: Enemy ships passing through warp point blockade...
I reported this same phenomenon a while back. The only way to deal with it reliably that I have found is to post a ship with Tachyon Sensors with your fleet at the WP.
Re: Enemy ships passing through warp point blockade...
Never had the problem for some reason. The only thing I do different is I use sensor satellites for sighting and I never place them in warp points. Nothing has gotten past my guard yet.

Check out the beta change logs. It appears this was a bug that was fixed in beta v1.70. Rumor has it that the next public patch will be released next week.

Re: Enemy ships passing through warp point blockade...
I was experiencing the same issue in 1.63 and 1.66 but it stopped after posting a ship with tachyon sensors in the area.
Re: Enemy ships passing through warp point blockade...
Is it one specific warp point or any warp point?
If it is only one then it comes from the sight obscuration, but the description might be missing or not listed. If it is all of them, you've got one big bug!
