Back and forth Warp points.

I've always wondered about that too.

I have had that problem when I have told my fleet to go to a far away system and (must travel through a few sets of warp points to get to the destination)

problem is someone is sitting on the warp point you have to travel through...your ships see it as a blocked warp point and say "I have to go around it!!"...and so they go back the way they came from and then they say "Wait! I have to go forward...why did I turn around?? must be nothing" and it starts all over again...

These guys are smart...they have a 2 second memory span

Hey apw2,

LordZsar1, has reported this error in one of the spaceempires.net forums. I suggested what pyroman just mentioned, but he said it clearly wasnt that, but a different issue. Havent seen it myself.

sorry, it was a bad post

I have experienced the same thing, I have told a ship to to go a few systems out, well when they enter a system and they detect a blocked warp point (ship/s sitting on point) They look for a way around and maybe an alternate path. Finding none they go back they way they came to look for a way around. Problem is after they warp out of the system that was blocked they turn right around and go back into the blocked system, because thats the way they are supposed to go to get to where they were sent the first time.

It's probably to do with sensor info and what the ships can see. They go through the warp point and see enemy ships in their path, so the next quickest path is to go back, so they go back, then they can't see the enemy ships in their path anymore, so now the quickest path is to go through the warp point again, and so on ad infinitum.

As for number of units, I think the max is only for units in space; units in cargo aren't counted.

Maybe changing "Can See Ship From Memory" to TRUE resolve this little "bug"... I will try...

For the units, is'nt it max units in space, as in one square? You can only have 200 units in one square (cargo does not count)

Propably meant to slow things down, but might make great carrier battles hard...

It's a limit for units in space.

Is it a total number of units in space anywhere limit, or a number of units in one hex limit?

So 200 units limit - is that per hex in space, or is that 200 units in space empire wide?

It's suppose to be units in space, empire wide.

There are sector limits (not currently enforced) listed for each unit type in the VehicleUnitTypes.txt data file.

The AI doesn't seem to be constrained by blocked warp points. I'm sure we've all seen single ships go lemming like into places we're parked at. Something doesn't make sense here. Why (and how) would the AI go to places it won't allow us to go? I demand my right to be a lemming!

No learning from experience? Is each individual AI turn run without regard to what has gone before it? That's not a good way to run a war (or an economy).
