Topic: Attacked by Fam too large

as there was no response in the other thread, maybe it'll get noticed in its own thread:

I'm in Firefox's fam and can confirm this.  We only had 3 members at the time who could of opped or attacked and no one did.  I'd test it out but there is no fam small enough to send a test fleet. Wondering if it is a bug or the gal mistakenly got setup without a fam nw limit, since it was pretty customized.  If it's the latter then I guess it's the honor sys this round, which could be very interesting to see who sticks to/enforces it.  The attacker that attacked was in our individual nw ranges, but his fam was well above our overall nw range.

Re: Attacked by Fam too large

One of a few things may have occured. Someone in your fam has performed Sot/Vis/PI/IP/FTP on the Big Fam or the attacker already had a fleet hovering that planet, which had been previously owned by someone else, before your fam member owned the planet. If it was explored by your family then chances are the planet had been blown up in order for it to be explorable.

Re: Attacked by Fam too large

Info ops would not remove the 40% rule. only offensive ops,
The second thing that Wendy mentioned about someone already having fleet hovering is very possible though.

Re: Attacked by Fam too large

Re: Attacked by Fam too large

no-one had any agents to op as there are no starting units in pw

as for fleet hovering, i got this from the attacker involved:

Re: Attacked by Fam too large

Soft ops are removing the 40% rule? Yikes I was not aware. Ill make sure to pass this on. Are there any specific examples? Always helps when trying to verify this kind of thing.

Re: Attacked by Fam too large

there were no soft or hard ops though to my knowledge and the 3 planets he attacked of mine were expoed by me like 24 hrs b4.  so makes the hovering or recently blown up thing not likely.  if it is a problem that still exists all we need to do is have someone in a large fam try to attack someone their size range in a fam too small (like send 1 fig).  if they can it's a problem.

Re: Attacked by Fam too large

It is possible you did get into their range for a short period of time and fleet was sent. Kuwait stated that he thought you have gotten into their range.

The soft ops bug has now been fixed and no longer will bring you out of protection range.

Right, so what are we waiting for?  Can we get this going?  Any other feedback?

Re: Attacked by Fam too large

plant false info/generate false info will get rid of the 40 percent rule but thats because it's considered an offensive op

So I told the cop, "No YOU'RE driving under the influence... of being a JERK!"

Re: Attacked by Fam too large

When attacking a player thats under ur 35% NW Rule on the new map, it wont let you send, but it should if he has attacked you but the new map doesnt seem to recognise it, so now to send fleets i have to look on the new map, then find the system on the old map to send fleets hmm

Re: Attacked by Fam too large

Every time I attack, I always see this at the bottom of the attack screen:
"You have encountered a game error. If the problem persists, mention it in the Bugs forum."

The ground attack phase also shows a picture of a fighter. The attacks seem to work as normal, but it's just kinda weird, so I thought I'd mention it.

And remember kids, being selfish is a virtue.

As Josh said it is a known bug, take no notice.
