Huh, that looks to be the reason all right. Seems the 1.55 patch never installed (My copy isn’t updating past 1.50)
Despite the error messages the fleets did eventually play, but probably without the ‘Last Stand’ option. Not sure how significantly that changed things since this is the first I’ve heard of that option. I’ll see if I can find a way to update.
I think it was after 1.49 or something where ship auto retreat after losing all it’s weapons. So all last stand does was to make it behave like before, stick around until it dies. Primary reason for using this is to prevent a ship with escort from successfully escaping, dragging everything else with it. Very problematic in large fleets with many escorts/formations, but probably doesn’t make much difference in this small map.
If you are on mac or stream your patch might be a bit behind. In that case you can still play it doesn’t really matter.
it is either a “too tough” tournament or we are the only ones enjoying it!
May be the developer should make the in-game menus more tournament friendly or promote it somehow.
LOL, I drain my stress through this game.
last week we had a disaster where the core country communication infrastructure went down for two hours (no internet, no Intranet)
you call it, banks, e-government, airport, DSL users, business customers, POS credit cards…etc were all down.
it was considered a national security threat and we have to investigate and prevent it from happening again.
So I vent out on the game and now on the forum, hehe
