Summary0006779: Spire Maws Unable to consume ships
DescriptionAfter EMPing a system and sending in my whole fleet of Maws with several other ships to try and clean up some of the 5000 ships I have waiting for me to drop my first Spire City, I was surprised to find that after almost a minute of being there, every one of them had 0 ships. Allowing the emp to run out still leaves all of the Maws empty until they die.

I am fairly certain that these Maws were consuming ships before, But I never watched careful to confirm if they did or not.

The system in the attached save is Achda and as you can see, all 18 maws have a grand total of 0 ships and will continue to do so until they die after the EMP runs out even though their is plenty of ships for them to eat right next to them.

Thank you for the save, it is helpful for testing.

However, when I:

1) Load the save.
2) Build an EMP I and send it through the wormhole to the threatball planet.
3) Send the Maws through.

They do start eating the ships. Some of them stay at zero and I don't know why (will make a note to investigate) but some of them were up to 5 or so by the time the short EMP ran out.

You get different results (all eating zero) doing exactly the same thing?

I get different results, namely all eating Zero doing the exact same thing. I tried it with a MK3 and a MK1 EMP and both had the same results. Not a single ship was eaten by the Maws.

I just ran that test steps on my laptop rather then my desktop to see if it might be some machine configuration, and I found that it was only at the last second that a few of them ate one ship, and might have been because the EMP wore off.

I am wondering if it could be because the Maws are building a list of targets(limit is 50 right?) and all of those targets are swallow immune, so it can't eat them even with valid targets right next to it. Given the number of ships there, it could be that the time I sent them though on the desktop made their target list all swallow immune and you did not get a complete list there.
