Hi everyone, what conditions needs to be true that a Gorbi...

Hi everyone,
what conditions needs to be true that a Gorbi Destroy a planet.

I set up a test game, with Campaign enabled.
With a Gorbi equipped with TW,HP,1760kt Fuel, No Damage, I'm in a range of 8.6ly of the target planet.
I set mission to Destroy Planet, next turn Warpspeed was not rested to 0, so I did this manually, but still no action from the Gorbi.
So I waited 3 turns, nothing.
The target planet was owned by my self, so I removed all clans, no unoccupied, but still no destruction of the planet from the Gorbi.

So far I tested without success:
- Gorbi: TW,HP,1760kt Fuel, No Damage, Mission Destroy Planet
TargetDistance, TargetOwner, Closest other planet, WarpSpeed, PE, FC, Premium Member
10.0ly, self, 30ly, 9, none, random, no
10.0ly, self, 30ly, 0, none, random, no
8.6ly, self, >30ly, 9, none, random, no
8.6ly, self, >30ly, 0, none, random, no
8.6ly, none, >30ly, 0, none, random, no
8.6ly, none, >30ly, 0, none, random, yes

What do I miss!

Check the ship again to confirm Heavy Phasers and TW engines.

Seems to be set up as documented.

I don't have the advantage so no experience of it but has been used in games I know about. But not recently.

The game does not have low visibility does it?

This has caused problems but only after the planet had exploded.

Thx for your answer!
checked! HP and TW, no damage, and fully loaded with fuel. Warp is set to 0, but from the documentation, I would assume that this will be done by the mission "Destroy planet" it self.
No special fc is set. No PE, Planet is unoccupied and 8.6ly away. I even parked a ship into the orbit with 'explore' mission.

There should something I miss, and yes I also saw games which used this feature.

Any other idea? Any one else? It's a private game just for testing this feature.

I don't know if you can see this.

I had in my head that you also had to be full of fighters? (That is just from memory, I have not read the Docs, nor do I have experience.)

If everything you report is correct, the planet should have been destroyed. Report with turn and sector # in the contact link at the bottom of the page. BB will take a look and let you know.

Ok, thank you. I even tested it with full load of fighters. Still no planet destruction.
I will use the contact link to report my problem.

Thank you to all your help and especially to BB who solved the puzzle!
I wasn't close enough! 8.6ly was the distance to the warp well not to the planet!

Great response BB!
