Hi,

Has anyone ever seen this beastie?

Quote:

There isn't enough fuel available at Space (xcoord, ycoord) to allow FuelMizerPrivateer #x to get to the next waypoint. Your fleet will wait for more fuel. You need about 4mg more fuel.


This happened in a force-generated game, where my ship (loaded) had about 65mg fuel left, lacking a few drops to complete a W6 hop. Almost all other ships got their "fuel has run out, dropping to w4" messages and coasted along, but this one just stopped and waited, and waited, and waited, and waited, and waited, and waited for about 80 turns.

This is almost as bad and unfathomable as the infamous "merge with moving target" bug that simply makes the target fleet stop dead in its tracks until the pursuer arrives. Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Hit Computer Hit Computer



So many Stars, so few Missiles!

In space no one can hear you scheme! Deal
