My Corvettes wont fight

from GalCiv3 Forums

So my beam Corvettes on my custom civ wont fight. when i watch a battle they just kinda fly around and dont fire anything and when i hover of them it says they are out of range even when they are right next to the ships and from my experince the beams are always the first to shoot with the longest range. the enemy ships however have no issues pewpepwing my ships with beam weapons. seems t mostly be just the corvetees though but i will cheack anyother ships with beams too.

It does appear to be only the corvettes from what i have seen any other ship with beams works just fine

It was probably targeting a stationary support ship and battle viewer doesn't display their movements correctly.

Check the ship category.... was it 'upgrading' by any chance?

Sure you don't have your corvette's ship role set to "Support"?  That would explain their behavior.

no they are the default corvett's and i didn't change any settings and they were not upgrading at the time. i haven't tested them since i got higher level beams so maybe it was just those beams on thise level corvette's

I've had default ships with incorrectly assigned roles before.  My vanilla Dregin frigates were support ships.  Did you check?

Well the reason i asked if they were upgrading is because it recently happened to me where my ships that i upgrade,.. ok they appear to finish upgrading in visual terms, however, in the ship status it says 'upgrading' and it stays that way until i save and reload the game, only then is it upgraded.

So what happens exactly is this... when i upgrade a ship, it upgrades normally for whatever number of turns it is supposed to take, and it has that little upgrading symbol on the ship. So when the number of turns for the upgrade passes, it then removes the upgrading symbol, it visually looks upgraded, it even reports its new attack and defense ratings as it should. But secretly it is still stuck on the status of 'upgrading'... Took me over a day to spot it, simply because i am used to what a ship looks like when it is upgraded... i did not expect to find that secret upgrading status going on.

 

It seemed to happen when i have loaded an old saved game which was created before the recent patch.
