Fighter Shields |
I am having a problem with shields on my fighters. When first buil;t the shields are at full strength, but after a fight they never regenerate and I am left with only armor, even on a new turn. Has anyone else noticed this? I can't imagine fighter shields not regenerating after a turn like ship shields do.
Re: Fighter Shields
Now this may seem like some dumb questions,
Do your fighters have supplies left?
Are they damaged?
what version are you playing?
Did you patch and continue the game from before the last patch?

Re: Fighter Shields
Fighters are still behaving very strangely. Any deployed unit does, actually.
For example, I've seen that a launched fighter group never loses supply or ordnance from combat, but never has its actual stores going into combat (First fighter gets about 80%, all others have 50%). Their numbers are unreliable, and so useless. Buggy shields and relatively little in-game support for units makes them too difficult to bother with for me.
Satellite seem to be working fine, however. I'm not sure why they work fine, but fighters act so strangely.

Re: Fighter Shields
It's to do with the fact the fighters are cargo when it comes to regenerating their shields, so the computer skips over them. A simple way to mod around this somewhat would be to give fighter shields a regeneration component, so that by the time they are launched and reach combat their shield has recovered after launch anyway, though this does make fighters tougher.

Re: Fighter Shields
does this happen in simultaneous or sequential gameplay?
or both?

Re: Fighter Shields
It should work. It seems like the trick is for the fighters to be active when the turn cycles, rather than cargo.
The bug still needs to be fixed. AI's don't do workarounds.
Re: Fighter Shields
I can confirm your findings: shields of fighters are not regenerated after a combat if they are cargo.
Did you send a savegame to MM?
