Hi, I have experienced the followig bug last turn - I tried to clone a Buccaneer with using the activity points (I thought it is clonable once - but it is unclonable)... Now one ship was destroyed in the Universe and the base swiched to clone + my build points were charged with 500 BP but no ship was build. Should the phost not just ignore the cloning attempt? Now I have lost BPs I belive this can be improved or has anyone similar experiences?

Thank you for some feedback!

Stefan

Assuming this is Pleiades 9, I looked into the host data. You did build a ship: the one you ordered before trying to clone, and which was at queue position 10 the turn before.

LPT: give your ships meaningful names, you you can easily spot the newly built ones :smile:

So far I cloned some Bridgekeeper which gave me loads of trouble, cause i did not remember that I cloned 1 of 3 BK (which I buyed from the Borg) when queue did hit. So I ended up with 4 BKs, 2 clonable once and 2 unclonable. And when I decided to clone some more, I ended up using the latter.

It took me about 3 turns to figure out that mess, all the while trying desperately. :eek: Though I never lost PBPs in the way you described.

Taking into account the trouble I usually run through I'ld guess you did build a ship somewhere else for PBPs. It just wasn't the Buccy you desired.

I found it it is true the Ship planned on the base was build. Normally i give them meaningfull names but a Hansa was simply overlooked. It ets normally a girls name like Doris ot Gunda... So my build points are not lost but spent on a Freighter... (it is almost the same)

Thank you
