In a number of games I have noticed that I lose my last fuel - it just disappears. I thought I had just miscalculated and made a mistake, but now I know I haven't.

I spent ages pondering my move so that I could deliberately set this up so with my last fuel I could stall in the hope that my opponent would get too confident and I could get him at range zero.

Nope, the game took four fuel for the previous three fuel manoeuvre and left me a sitting duck.

No fair - I cry.

Definite bug - happens a lot. Please fix it.

Yes I know you cannot go from a speed 3 to speed 1 as would have been the case in this game, but it happens when I could have used it as well when I had been at speed 2.

Best I can tell; on the move he shot you down and ended the game, one of his hits took out your last engine box and when you loose your last engine box all your remaining fuel goes as well.
I vote: No Bug!


This happened three moves before the end - hence the fact that I was gliding there at the end.

I've given the game number and link so Nick, Imdog and BlueDragon can have a look at the coding.

Absolute cast iron bug - seen before and now have seen it in action as I was counting fuel for my tactics to work.


Noted with Thanks. Will told Nick to Investigate.

I.

I can confirm that this has happened as well. I had 4 fuel left, used a 3 fuel move, ended with 0. The plane's only 1 fuel moves were stalls.

I don't know if it is a bug per se, as that last fuel effectively makes no difference as a 1 fuel move is not allowed following a 3 fuel move. I do know that it had been allowed before, so the change in coding should be conveyed to the users if it was intentional.
