Damage protection

Yes Arch, i agree with you. This sucks.

<< plundering maru on Ultra... sitting in NP with my 2 land U.rich still mining another 3K ore from it :)

and that`s what always happens when "pending - refresh" is over -- people come out of dp.

regardless of whether they`re online.

This thing is making life for plunder marus and collectives a little on the boring side.

No -- the point is they should be out of dp *already*

yeah that`d be real fair archaeoptyrex. let`s just add a ship to everyone so they come out of DP when they`re not online and can`t defend themselves...

yeah ok Anfit, I probably could if I really wanted to... Until the double attack bug got me :P

@bip: 9 days? sure you could pull it off. unless bugs eat you
another one to bip`s: i`ve been here like what? 4 years? going on 5? as if i cared.

so you`re agreeing with me then ripshredder?

i think people out of np who have been in this state for longer than an hour should have 1 lfd added to their current fleet.

hmm... from 129,729pr to 284,775pr (basically from myself looking down), there are 15 people in "pending refresh". That`s 37.5% of us.

bah, you`re kidding. It`s not that big a deal. This is just a wargame where some ppl no longer needs to come to the battlefield regardless of their planetcount...

On the scale of "bad bugs", this is a pretty major one.

so basically, we`re just going to ignore this bug until everyone gets bored and builds ships and leaves their "free dp"?

*bipbippy plans to sit in her free dp forever! NO BORDERS FOR YOU!

also if you havent already been affected by the bug then you really shouldnt be affected in the future. :P

I`m a 9 day old empire, I don`t think forcing a restart on me is going to matter much :P

AND, I`m a 9 day old empire. Do you really think I could successfully pull off a UW anyway?

AND, that would put my UW attempt falling right into the Thanksgiving Holiday here in the USA. I have a family. I`ll be at my parents house all day stuffing my self with Turkey and Pumpkin Pie. Mmmmm.... pie....

BUT - someone attempting a UW and getting stuck in pending refresh - MAYBE that might actually spur Stephen to fix it.

BUT - as RipShredder and Sol have both pointed out now, once I leave my "pending refresh" free DP, I seriously doubt I would get it back again anyway.

I`m not affected by it since i wasnt in DP when it started i was in NP so it is only affecting a few empires.

Maybe i`m wrong but it appears that the "pending refresh" bug only affects those who already have it. I`ve seen a few empires emerge from dp while being offline just a little while ago. Empires who were dp`ed around this time yesterday.

Hmm,

I`m gona take a wild leap here and say that anyone that activates an overmind to exploit this bug would probably get forcerestarted by Mara.

hey, bip, i think this would qualify under "exploiting a bug", would it not?

I think UWs should be temporarily banned until this issue is fixed and anyone who attempts one gets 1 day suspension.

go bip - someone do it on fast too

The project have been completed !

You are able to activate this in 23 hours

yeah I know Anfit :P

I`ve been sitting in "pending refresh now for about 19 hours... I`m sure it`ll still be there when I`m ready to activate... :P
