BUG - Lower id ships can break tow no matter his warp speed.

Situation:

Ship id#1 - Transwarps but his warp set to 1,two engines and more than 25kt fuel
Ship id#2 - Transwarp and his warp set to 9, two engines and more that 25kt fuel.

Both of them in the same spot. Ship #1 has his mission set to explore and his waypoint 4 ly to the left. Ship #2 has his mission set to tow and his wp 86ly to the right. The result after host run is that ship #2 has towed ship#1 and they are 81ly to the right side.

This is correct.

Second situation:

Same place, same situation but ship#1 has his mission set to tow ship#2 too. The result expected after host run is the same like in the the other situation since ship #2 has greater warpfactor. But the result is that ship #2 is 81ly to the right side and ship#1 is 1 ly to the left side.

This is wrong ;P

The funny thing is that if you invert the id of the ships. It works right.

Nite

Hey Nitemare, did this ever get fixed?

Higher warp factor should definitely win the conflict.

The type of engines does not matter but warp speed does matter, so you should certainly be able to tow at warp 9 to keep somebody from going into the warp well, regardless of ID.

Hi Veteran,

this was fixed. See my first comment on Nitemare's feedback issue or

http://planets.nu/discussion/doubt-with-tow

Edit: In http://planets.nu/discussion/doubt-with-tow Josha announced to fix the bug but Nitemare's feedback issue ist still open. So I'm not sure if it was fixed yet. At least I experienced no mysterious tow breaks recently.
