Yes.

Well the ship explodes and 10% of the clans gets scattered over neighbouring planets.

"When a Horwasp starship or pod is destroyed 10% of the clans on board will be distributed to all planets within 100 Light-Years."

http://help.planets.nu/horwasp-details

Pods have 1kt of fuel, and 2kt if accelerated.

This makes Rob mission and Webs very effective against pods... and Hive/Soldier have to watch their fuel levels... however Webs don't do the per Turn fuel drain... just Webmine hits. A Crystal player can lay small overlapping Webs in other Races names against a Horwasp inbetween planets to stop pods for very little cost.

The Hive can 'Swarm' all planets within 100 lys and 100% of clans will be distributed if you end up low on fuel and is preferable to running out... kind think that a Hive should auto-Swarm when it runs of of fuel now that I think about it.

@Glyn,

> Webs don't do the per Turn fuel drain... just Webmine hits

There was a change recently (about 2 months ago) that impacts 8 of the 13 pods.

From the Horwasp Alpha update (http://planets.nu/#/post/horwasp-alpha-update):

> New: All non-combatants (now called low energy profile) don't hit mines or webmines and have low discovery range.

This is covered in the page on the Low Energy Profile advantage, which is what makes those 8 pods webmine-immune.

> A Crystal player can lay small overlapping Webs in other Races names against a Horwasp inbetween planets to stop pods for very little cost.

Yes they can, but it is more advantageous in the long run to lay the webmines as themselves. This allows the minefields to be scooped up later.

@Whisperer: As if I don't know that... please go be butthurt somewhere else.

Just add information, don't condescendingly try to correct me or direct such things at me... did you see me do that to Martinr? No, I didn't, because I'm not a douchebag.

You don't even help people to help people, you do it to be a smug jerk.

You have proven you are a sexist in the past, and yesterday you announced loud and clear you are homophobic.

Martinr has suggested we don't talk to each other and stay out of each others threads, I agreed... you refused.

Because this is what you do, bully.

And it is a total waste of time to Minescoop small webs... 1-5 measly torpedoes isn't even worth the fuel or Turn wasted doing so.

@Glyn

Sorry but reading what Whisperer wrote was informative to others and did not justify your aggressive response.

You took it the wrong way and lowered the tone of the post with a potential rule 1 violation.

Tell you what lets judge it by a vote of Likes.

If anyone thinks Whisperers reply was what Glyn thinks then like his post. IE if Whisperer was being a douche bag directly to Glyn then like Glyn's aggressive post.

If you think Whisperer was not being a douche bag to Glyn and was supplying information that was useful like his post.

Most likes decides which post was the most reasonable post.

Do Privateers get VP for exploding ships, due to Rob?

992 days, 1 hours, 40 minutes ago

RE: Am I right in thinking, fuelless Horwasp ships explode?

@Axel+Maximus,

VP? I don't recall VP?

In-game there's PBP/PP (depending on the type of build queue the game uses). If that's what you're referring to, then they receive PBP/PP if the Horwasp have any.

In the meta-game, destroyed ships don't give you any Achievement Points (help for promotions) or Campaign Resources (used to research Campaign Advantages).

exploding hornwasp ships due to rob give no PbP to privateers.

> exploding hornwasp ships due to rob give no PbP to privateers.

Maybe they should. Especially since privateer ships are usually weak, and Horwasp can detect them.

RE: Am I right in thinking, fuelless Horwasp ships explode?

The fact that a mcbr or any other cloaker remain un attacked by pods is a complete non sense....

991 days, 23 hours, 41 minutes ago

RE: Am I right in thinking, fuelless Horwasp ships explode?

They can detect them but as long as they have an active cloak they can still do nothing against them. So they can still rob and blow up ships. And with the predictability of the flight path of pods they can easily rob scores of pods at the same point in space.

RE: Am I right in thinking, fuelless Horwasp ships explode?

@Martinr: Whisperer called me a homosexual yesterday, for no reason, I didn't deserve that either... and no one deserves to have their sexual orientation insulted... Whisperer should be banned for it and I will not give him any benefit of the doubt ever again.

I have told Whisperer to not talk to me, if he violates that consideration, which is a Rule One violation, I will respond with the same disrespect he shows me.

I started learning about the Horwasp exactly when the update came out and even explained how to modify a script to deal with the new changes; http://play.planets.nu/#/activity/2772865

My tracking thread for Horwasp Sectors; http://play.planets.nu/#/activity/2820310

Me cautioning to "keep in mind the update to Horwasp didn't occur until his Sectors were already foregone conclusions"; http://play.planets.nu/#/activity/2829289

I've even suggested expanding the Webmine/Mine immunity to all Horwasp ships;

And I'm well aware how to Minescoop Webs, however scooping small Webs is absurd... they are great for creating massive overlapping Webs and no one that knows what they were talking about and not trolling would recommend scooping them when they can be so useful later.

> What isn't Documented about Horwasp but should be

The Horwasp are in an ALPHA state. Do you honestly expect the documentation to be better than that? If so, then please report to the RCMP so that they can give you a blood test for hallucinogens.

We are aware that many of the Horwasp details are not yet documented. We expect many of these to be changed as the Horwasp move from ALPHA towards Production.

> Whisperer called me a ...

Your point? If you have a problem, take it to the Admins. They can do something effective about anything they believe needs correction. You can't.

> I have told Whisperer to not talk to me

I have never spoken to you, or heard you speak to me. With any luck, I never will.

RE: Am I right in thinking, fuelless Horwasp ships explode?

@King+Butthurt: "King Butthurt: he Horwasp are in an ALPHA state."

Horwasp are in Alpha? I had NO idea... how is this not common knowledge? /s

"Glyn: Documentation doesn't mention that Horwasp can Minesweep AT ALL actually, or that all their pods automatically Minesweep... or how to properly use the VCR for Horwasp. It's an Alpha race so you'll have to lean on the Activity Feed for some information especially since we've only had one balance change thus far and things are likely to change again."

Whoops, guess you should actually read my posts instead of fabricating excuses to lecture me.

"King Butthurt: Do you honestly expect the documentation to be better than that?"

Yes... I would have fixed this ages ago... it took more effort for you troll me than to fix Documentation so that people know Pods automatically Minesweep... which is a detail Joshua did provide you.

Don't let me stop you from stroking your ego and then bitching and moaning about Joshua not doing what you want at every opportunity.

Insulting Canadians isn't doing yourself any favours, but it is better than your homophobic 'joke' at least... insulting a nationality isn't as offensive as your bigoted hate of sexual orientations that you aren't comfortable with.
