That happens - and it's okay. Game is simulated, somethings things miss.

@Lenkin said in Union control big trouble:

Players taking control of living players and being able to steal their resources or units is nonsense. Also, a dead player can log in and play as a living player or a player who left. There should be two new changes to Union Control: 1) you can't take control of a player who's still in the game, 2) you can't take control of anyone if your combo is dead.

Union control is designed such that you can take control of other players, even when they're alive or when you're dead. It's supposed to be used in a collaborative game, like co-op or when you try and teach someone. It doesn't really fit the purpose that some lobbies ended up using it for, but that's up to the host to setup and up to the player to decide to play.

Now that you mentioned it, perhaps we should make union control games unrated. I'm not sure if they are right now.

@Nomander said in Bug Report:SMD missing target:

SMD missing and having to fire a second time is unacceptable.

In your point of view it is unacceptable, and that is fine. I disagree.

It's been accepted for more than a decade now. And it's already been improved a while ago with #3893. Those changes at least prevents the many-to-many case being in strong favor of the attacker (multiple defense missiles colliding with the same strategic missile). Now that I think about it, it is a similar fix as #6532 but then specifically applied to missiles.

The game is simulated, this is part of it. The balance team can fix it by adjusting the turn rate of the anti missile.

@Skrat I don't see the need for such measures. Nicknames are meaningless (to me) to identify people since they get changed too often. And being anonymous just means casters (and their viewers) no longer know whether they're watching their favorite player. What does it achieve, except for more bureaucracy and complexity that isn't even related to the game itself?

So I could request to have my account deleted and come back on a new one a few years down the line?

There's no guarantee, but you're free to try !

@miki1900 said in New update desyncr without error message:

Here:

#23313751

I destroy all his mexes, I rule the map, and he has double units than me.
Not descynr, just write up the software data?

I don't get it - you won the game:

Nothing strange happened. He was reclaiming the wrecks, that is why he was able to make units with no extractors. What is the problem exactly?

@melanol said in Deceiver < Stinger < Atlantis / Czar Do you think this should be a bug or a feature?:

It is not breaking the game, it's just your interpretation.

Interpretation as game lead

And I agree with you, if it isn't intended then it should be fixed in the code when that is possible. Which I didn't have the time to do yet, but perhaps I'll push it up the agenda.
