Noob Needs help again :P |
Sorry to bother guys, but Ive been playing this game and its great! Really great! My only problem is, how can I destroy a planet with that Energy Force thing? You know, the icon of a negated weapon over the planet. Im tired of just conquer enemy worlds, I want to destroy them or at least kill their population without having to invade by land. I tried bombs, conventional weapons, fighters and even energy depleter weapons but its no use. Is there something I am missing? Thanks!
Re: Noob Needs help again :P
Sorry if I couldnt explain right my problem. I mean, none of the above weapons works against such a planet. I order my ships to attack, but they prefer to escape. They just turn back and proceed to abandon the battle. The carriers at least send their fighters, but they wait until the time runs out standing above the planet.
So, I cant even make a single point of damage to a planet because I cant find a weapon that can surpass that planetary defenses. Can anyone understandt my problem now?
Re: Noob Needs help again :P
This is a bug introduced with 1.33.
You should use longer range weapons and set your strategy to point blank. In fact in order to attack the planet your ships must be able to target the center of the planet.
The ships fleeing as soon as the battle starts is another problem though. Check if they have enough ordnance, their strategies, and if they are not in the same task force as a non-combat ship.
Re: Noob Needs help again :P
No, my ships are ordnance and supplies full and they are usually in Task Forces where all ships are combatant. Tried various strategies, usually ill leave the default strategy, but Ive tried others as well.
But, theoretically, should bombs (in my case, Planetary Napalm, first weapon under Bombardement Weapons) be dropped in a planet that has that (dont know exact name, sorry) force field and make damage?
Re: Noob Needs help again :P
I don't think this is a bug. You may have signed a treaty with someone in which you agreed to not bombard planets. It doesn't matter if the planet you are attacking is not of the race which you signed the treaty with. If you signed a treaty with anyone forbidding bombardment of planets, you wont be able to bombard anybodies planet. Also if you have signed a treaty your ships will automatically retreat since they can't attack anything.
Also make sure the weapons you are trying to use have the ability to target planets.
If neither of those things fixes it then it may be a bug.

What do you mean by "it's no use"? It's not effective enough?
