Once someone explained to me that the Cobol needs to get to its destination waypoint in order to produce the fuel via the Ramscoop ability after the movement.
I thought that this is a pretty immature rule because it would be logical (and the wording inside the game, something like "produces 2 fuel for each ly travelled) also suggest that the production of the fuel is happing during travel and that the Cobol should not really be able to run out of fuel because of its special ability. (As long as it doesn't need more fuel than 2 per ly travelled and/or as long as it started with enough fuel on board...)
Nowadays understanding that the host order is not able to do two things simultaneously (or at least it's not able to ignore the outcome of one thing until another thing happened or at least if there's a special thing happening, or whatsoever, I'm not really into coding... ;-)) I can at least understand why the ruleset in this case is so wobbly.
But if I go through host order:
56. Cobol Ramscoop makes fuel
59. Most ships move (Incl. HYP)
61. Cobol Ramscoop makes fuel
67. Cobol Ramscoop makes fuel
it doesn't clearly indicate that it has to be able to finish it's movement so that it'll produce the fuel, because of #56.
So, how exactly is this really working!? ;-D |
