Hi streu.

I enjoy playing the Privateer in Titan4. From time to time I do not run out of fuel at my waypoint as planned.

I already learned the hard way that PCC2 does not take into account the mass loss of a towee because of cloaking or cargo dumping. One feature request would be that fuel consumption prediction takes this into account. (Maybe with a second value in brackets as is already shown for the fuel consumption by cloaking.)

This turn I lost a ship, again because I did not run out of fuel at my waypoint. But this time I do not know why the ship still had some fuel. Maybe I hit a bug in the fuel consumption prediction of PCC2. The ship was repaired by a base in the same turn and also hit a mine, but both should have no effect on the fuel consumption (112kt). OK, on the other hand, it is just a *prediction*.

Two other small observations concerning minefields: - Minefields laid in the name of another player are often (always?) shown as own minefields in the turn when they are laid. This is only corrected one turn later, when they are scanned again. - Web mine fields are sometimes reported as regular mine fields.

Thanks for PCC and PCc!!! :smile:

This is a testing version.
It may be incomplete, and have more bugs (or features) than the public live version at planetscentral.com.
