Summary0002165: Spire Maw Not Eating
DescriptionI've had several problems with the spire maws not eating any ships that are within range. I've taken a screen shot of my 5 maws not doing anything to a large group of frigates. They just sit there and shoot their bullets at them and never eat a single ship. I tried it with my maws under the field or out of the field and even with my tractors off.

I tried moving the maws around a lot and they seem to eat one or two ships, but I've no idea why that happened since I an unable to make it happen all the time.

Also to note if you see the status of current player ships that have been consumed by AI maws you'll that I have one ship that is at 83%, which is a scout. There are is a bug with scouts being eaten and not dying fast enough.

Are you or is anyone still seeing this? I think we fixed some stuff with maw ranges a bit ago that might have fixed this. If you have a savegame that demonstrates, that's what we need for fixing it -- screenshots just help prove the issue, but we tend to believe you when you tell us. ;) We just need a way to duplicate it so that we can actually test it, isolate the problem, and then verify the fix.

Submitted saved game with the problem. Same thing happens, they don't eat any extra frigates no matter what is going on.

Thanks! I definitely saw it in your case, but it was something that was specific to your scenario, really -- that's why others had not reported it. Anyway, fixed it up now.

* Previously, when maws of the same team were too close together, they would block each other so that only one could eat enemy ships at a time. Fixed. Also increased their range by 1000.
** All ships that have zero move speed are now explicitly immune to being swallowed, to be more clear.
