Defect Name: Ghost of Scorpio

Build: HCE 2007.000

Repeatable: Y

Operating System: XP

DB used: HCDB-071223

Scenario used: Saved game - Ghost of Scorpio.hpi

Long Description: Scorpio ship unit ZC04 does not appear to be susceptible to attack. Two attacks were made against group ZCs with 15+ Harpoon allocated to Scorpio on both occasions. No hits and now the player is unable to select the ship group for attack. This scenario was played before and I *think* that I was able to kill the ship, but I cannot be certain.

 

Sequence to reproduce:

1. ZC04 cannot be attack. Player cannot even launch group against ZCs.

2. Note that the oddly discoloured icon for Scorpio was present before any attacks occurred.

 

 

Expected behaviour: Player should be able to attack Scorpio

Observed behaviour: Player cannot attack Scorpio

I think I have seen this once before, and it turned out to be an AI ship that ran aground and sank itself, thing was it seemed to be sinking for an eternity. I will take a closer look at this when I go to lunch.

Interesting hypothesis. Unfortunately, this ship reports 0% damage.

DB error, seems the ship has 0 hitpoints in the DB, so its stuck between sinking and floating.

Confirmed. Interesting phenomenon. Consider it fixed. Good eye, Akula.

Actually it's good eye Rene, he's the one that pointed it out to me.

What am I? Chopped liver?

More like liver cirrhosis.
