Am I misunderstanding something about the Wasps or is this...

Am I misunderstanding something about the Wasps or is this a bug.
In the scoreboard star bases = hives
Hives are limited by players planet count
So how can the Wasp increase SB/hive count +4 to 146 when planet count is +0 to 136
http://play.planets.nu/#/sector/253449

and can someone remind me where to find the rock attack page, got an error when I clicked an old link I found.
Cheers,
Pale

It sounds like planetoids count toward the hive limit: 136 scoreboard planets plus at least 10 planetoids.

Hmmm... there is way more info on them than that... at least in the threads somewhere.

Oh it only fails to mention the 1000kt ceiling, which you'll figure out when you make a Rock;

"Joshua: The math is such:

A "maximum" impact is 1000kt * Warp 9 * 1.5 (accelerated) = 13500kt.

This equates to ImpactDamage of 100% which would kill all colonists on an enemy planet (as well as factories, mines, natives, happiness etc). Each damage point is then adjusted up or down by various factors. Colonists killed is adjusted up or down randomly by 20%.

So this means a 1000kt rock traveling at warp 9 that has been accelerated has a 50% chance of killing all the colonists on a planet."

I have yet to not fully wipe out an enemy HW with a 1000kt W9Acc Rock, and I've hit more than a few. Actually, I bet I'm in the few dozens. (any way to get that info?)

I suspect ImpactDamage of 100% kills 1000000 colonists 50% of the time. Fewer much more often.

Or maybe they have since changed it.

Whatever it is. I have a large enough sample size that I should have had survivors at least a few times.

Not once.

I had this happen to me (SB count > planet count in scoreboard) in a couple of previous games. I was not playing horwasp. The count was wrong. Simultaneously I also lost tech levels at multiple starbases. This seemed to coincide with my premium membership lapsing. Commodore Capwell is also currently a standard member so I suspect his premium membership may also have lapsed. Use the contact link. The admin's fixed it very quickly when it happened to me.

Green dragon a planatoid does not count to your planet total. It does not go to the winning conditions. So you can colonises whole belts of them and your scoreboard planet count does not increase.

But you can have a SB on everyone of tbem. So indeed your scoreboard total can show you have more SB's then planets.

Horwasp being able to have a Hive from a planatoid is new though
