| Summary | 0009309: Compilation of ship description problems | ||||
| Description | As ships are tweaked over time, their text descriptions can become misleading or incorrect. This is a compilation of problems I've noticed. In all cases I've assumed, generally without evidence, that the displayed ship statistics are correct. * Engineer Drone Mark III - description states it has more armor than Mark II. Actually it has no armor (but Mark II does!) * Zenith Bombardment Ship - described as firing "energy bombs", but actually fires antimatter bombs. * Bomber Starship - described as "armored". Actually has less armor than five of the other ten starships, and none of the others mention armor in their descriptions. Also has less armor than regular Bombers. * Munitions Booster and Armor Booster - both ship descriptions inappropriately state "Strong fighter in its own right" * Raptor - consider removing "large" from the description as these are not targetable by Bomber Starships, Spire Mini-Rams etc * Vampire Claw - anomalous as the only cloaked ship not to mention cloaking in its description * Space Tank - described as "low range", but range was upgraded in 5.028. Also consider fixing the discrepancy between these being described as "Very heavily armored" while Armor Ships are described as "Heavily armored", although they both have the same armor. * Zenith Paralyzer - attack is described as fast, but reload time is 8 seconds. * AI SuperTerminal - description still says response is proportional to reduction from the SuperTerminal, not to overall hacking * Spire Stealth Battleships and Space Planes both have radar dampening, but only SSBs' description provides clarification on what that means. Also, the descriptions suggest SSBs would have the tighter radar dampening range, whereas the reverse is true. * Range is treated inconsistently. For example, Grenade Launchers (range 7000) launch over "medium distance", whereas Zenith Beam Frigates (range 6400) are "high-range". [EDIT: Scratch this last point - I see the Zenith Beam's area of effect extends far beyond the Frigate's maximum targeting range.] Not a ship description, but related: * AI Hunter/Killer - "Mass driver ammo" is listed in its immunities twice. | ||||

> Munitions Booster and Armor Booster - both ship descriptions inappropriately state "Strong fighter in its own right" A lot of stuff has silly things like this. Which reminds me.... |
|
|
Linking 0009285 as Z-shredders have a build cost that is no longer consistent with the description (there is no longer a per-planet cap). |
|
|
Linking 2706 because it's in a similar vein. |
|
|
Too lazy to make my own issue report, so: Captive Human Settlement: tooltip written description reports the old AIP increase on death as 100, although the "notes" above it state the correct value (15). Spirecraft Scout: "move[s] pretty slowly" despite having a speed of nearly 500*mk (but feels a lot slower than that; a bug in itself, or the effect of limited acceleration?) |
|
|
Another one: * Spirecraft Jumpship - stats say "Self Attrition Only On AI Worlds >= Mark" but description says "On planets with a higher mark than the jumpship, ...". I believe the stats are correct. |

Fixed all the ones noted (or linked) here for 5.096, thanks! :) If you run into more please re-open this or start a new issue; I probably won't notice new comments on this one if it stays resolved. |
