| I'm playing the Privateers. Using an MBR to TOW a Firecloud from a planet to a wolf pack. MBR tows to a point in space 98 ly due north of planet at Warp 7. I intentionally leave enough fuel on board to make it all the way to the wolf pack without running out of fuel even if the FC maxes out cargo, fuel, and beams from the planet...knowing that the Borg may have me set as PE and my MBR may be destroyed by the FC upon arrival. When I review my resulting TRN, the FC is away from the planet (so it moved) on a direct line towards my wolf pack (due north), but only about 25% - 30% of the way. My MBR is nowhere. However, at one of my StarBases, I have a new MBR (just built) with the same ship ID number. No messages that my ship was attacked, no VCR, no explosion notification, and no X on the map. According to docs, once a tow beam is locked, the FC cannot open a chunnel. I don't see anywhere that if my MBR were to have been chunneled that there is a chance of taking damage and getting blown up. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE while trying to TOW a FC. Both times in the near center of the map and with different ship ID #s. Is this a bug, or am I missing something?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! |
