+ | ===== Firing on Ones Self Bug ===== | ||
+ | The game does allow for stations and ships to fire on one's own units. When you order a unit that is capable of firing conventional weapons to fire, you can direct that fire explicitly (attack command) onto one of your friendlies. That may be an intended design aspect of the game. (Yet a strange one. If you want to get rid of one of your own units, you simply deconstruct it.) What's very likely not intended, is the ability of ships to actually fire on themselves (not: another friendly ship of sorts). | ||

+ | When having selected more than one ship at the same time, making the group attack a friendly of the group makes //all// ships attack the target, including the ship being targeted. Even when ceasing fire with the other ships, the ship firing on itself will not stop, until given another order (or weapons fail). So basically you can order a ship to fire on itself. This is not very well visible for Phase fire. But torpedoes make it very well visible, that a ship can in fact fire on itself. This does not work with stations, as you cannot select multiple stations at the same time. | ||
