Horwasp question

Is it possible to tow Horwasp rocks or ships?

If you do do the ships or rocks stop moving?

Yes, all pods and Ships are Towable.

Yes, Pods will be unable to move on its own... Ships (Solider/Hive) can still break Tow, but their ID# is always higher so they cannot Tow your ships to prevent Tow ever at least.

@Landgrab,

> Is it possible to tow Horwasp rocks or ships?

All Horwasp vessels can be towed, EXCEPT:

Hives >5000 KT cannot be towed.

Accelerator pods cannot be towed after they get on station.

To expand on that a little. Can Horwasp rocks/ships be robbed (and out-of-fuel exploded)?

@Steinbul,

Yes.

> out-of-fuel exploded

From http://planets.nu/#/howtoplay/horwasp-details:

> If they are robbed they will disintegrate.

I can verify that. I have done it.

Accelerator pods cannot be successfully Towed, they are the one exception for pods/Rocks.

I tested this recently since two weeks ago people reported it as a bug... Horwasp and non-Horwasp simply fail to maintain Tow-lock on Accelerators.

Another Q, please.

Per docs: "For each Light-Year that a ship flies through a protofield it will pick up 1 proto-molecule. A starship's crew can cleanse 1 proto-molecule per turn from the hull of a starship."

"Protofield damage inflicted" is listed right after "Loki third decloak" in host order. So Step 45.1 But when does "crew cleanse the sharship"? Before the damage is inflicted or after? Can't seem to find that in host order.

@Steinbul,

> when does "crew cleanse the sharship"?

Unknown. That wasn't in the information Joshua provided us when the Horwasp were released, and it hasn't been determined by experimentation.

@Steinbul: Damage and proto-molecules from passing through a protofield are added after movement but before combat... the one proto-molecule is mostly likely removed immediately after damage is assigned.

So if you move at Warp 1 through a single layer protofield, you can receive damage but will never see proto-molecules adding up.

If the proto-molecule was removed before movement then a ship with none moving in a protofield at Warp 1 would have at least on proto-molecule.. so this is what I tested for.

I assume this answers your question.
