| Summary | 0022429: Hacking outguard gives +10 AIP, but not shown in tooltip | ||||
| Description | I have hacked several Outguard posts, which show up as +10 AIP in the AIP log (when clicking the icon at the top). However, the tooltip for Outguard does not mention that there is an AIP impact for hacking these. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

AIP changes are displayed in the mouseover tooltip, as the hacking list does not currently support listing non-hacking costs directly on the button. "Hacking this beacon will allow you to contact some of the Outguard -- remnant anti-ai forces that can come to your aid. Since the Outguard are subverting the AI communication channels, expect some extremely heavy AI response to this. --Upon completion, your AIP will increase by 10.--" Would ideally be displayed right on the button of course, but modifying code outside of Outguard wasn't really within the scope of the rework, especially due to the holiday season. |

Thanks. It would be great to make sure everywhere Outguard is shown, the fact that it causes +10 AIP if you hack it is well documented and called out. For what it's worth, I personally won't be using Outguard at all (and though I always did the hack in previous games, I never used them, always keeping them for a future that never came). The uncertain future value of a potential outguard fleet assist is not worth the immediate AIP increase of 10 AND the loss of hacking points, IMO. Had I known/noticed that outguard had caused AIP, I would not have taken over two of them before reporting this "bug" in 1.024. |

One sneaky thing of Outguard: Their deaths do not contribute to counter attacks. It's entirely possible to fight large battles without ever seeing the warning come up. |

In version 1.304, it still doesn't show the AI Progress penalty in any of the 3 tooltips for the outguard beacons in the galaxy map view. See attached screenshots. (Medium and Detailed are the same.) |
