So why didn't my ship clone?

An MCBR I got from a friendly Privateer. Tech ten engines and only mk4 torps and basic beams. My starbase has the tech level for that. Plus I have over 1000 of each mineral and 4k in money.

I set the ship to CLN friendly code. Could it be case sensitive?

All four categories of tech levels (beams, hulls, torps, and engines) are at or above those on the ship?

Not building another ship, are you?
Yellow warning triangles on the base and/or ship? (bottom of the pane, next to buy-torps and load-materials-for-torps and ready-status icons)

Cloning stops just before the ship limit. I think 50 ships. Cloning in classic has a very short time frame.

Your game has productionqueue: true

Martinr is wrong, you can clone all the way to the ship limit.
(in both production and priority queue)

production queue example,
http://play.planets.nu/#/sector/265387
Lizard, turn 35, ship count from 461 to 488, several ships cloned.
I do however use cln, not CLN
The guide says CLN though.

But i think you must have failed to meet one of the other criteria.

I will try to find a game with someone cloning with CLN, just to make sure..

Just ran a test game(blitz format)
CLN works fine for cloning, even ClN

I noticed one thing about your game.
You are in red status, as in you havent selected end turn for 2 turns in a row.
First, make sure you select end turn this turn, or you will get dropped.

Have you had connections problems, perhaps the CLN code is not sent to the server properly?

And one final thing, you are not a subscriber.
If you used to be, perhaps the techlevels only count as level 7 ?
The update page does not mention cloning as a subscriber advantage, but it could be the case anyway...

Worth noting is that mk4 torpedoes require level 5 torpedo tech. So that's one more thing to double check.

If you fail to clone due to lack of tech levels or min or MC you get a message saying you failed for that reason.

If you build a ship at the SB you want to clone you do not clone in Production Queue.

In the new UI you get a warning message if you try and clone and build at the same SB.

Thanks for your replies everybody. Turns out I cloned the wrong ship again. I could have swore I changed the friendly codes last turn. Maybe connection problems did stop that fc update from happening.

@Dines How do you clone "in both production and priority queue"?

Would this mean I build two ships?

Im talking about the two different queue systems with a global ship limit.
Your game has production queue,
but Martinr talked about classic games with the old priority queue.

And please make sure to select end turn.....

I will select end turn. I have been booted from a game where I was winning and then found myself unable to get back in because someone pinched my slot. I won't let that happen again.

Hey @Fantasia. This plugin would have caught your mistake for you (and answered your original question):

If you are cloning and use plugins, this may be useful to you.
