New Anti-Covert Bug... 1 AC unit...

[Dubby_CompGamerGeek2]

Greetings,

A long time ago, I found out that 1 AC unit was like so many other things,

apparently unkill-able...

recently, I trained 1 AC unit to test it's damage on an inactive abandoned account after my recent ascension.

I then untrained that unit.

the Anti-Covert Units read: 0

In subsequent attack logs, it was still being sent...

even though it appeared to be untrained...

Tonight, I finally discovered this...

I retrained the 1 AC unit, and attacked at least one additional person...

still 1, and only 1 AC unit sent... fine...

so I'll simply untrain it, and at least have my 1 unit back, even if it's still being sent...

I attempt to untrain the 1 AC unit...

several times...
The 1 AC unit now refuses to untrain at all...

fine. ******

I train 10 more AC units, and then untrain 11...

success!

then I hit another farm...

1 AC unit sent...



at the moment, I suppose that I don't really care...

because I only have a raiding strike: 2 super attackers, and only 1 is armed...

so it's not killing spies off my farms, as far as I can tell...

(I like my farms to keep their spies,
cuz it means other people don't take my farms as often.)

Two other things I noticed:
My mothership only adds a tiny little bit of power to my strike,
apparently in proportion to my very meager raiding strike...

where with my old 32 bil strike, pre-ascension, my mothership would add as much as it could, up to it's full strike of 100 bil+ power at the time...

not sure if the meager strike / meager MS bonus is a new feature, or a bug... if it's a feature, I like it.

Second, I recently got hit for naq, with the attacker(s) sometimes sending their own AC units along for the fun...
(which I mention only because that seems rare to me, and therefore might be related to my first bug.)


Thanks.



**Edit:

apparently, I'm late to the party, cuz all my incoming logs have at least 1 AC unit as well...

To my knowledge, the MS only ever adds a maximum of 100% power to attack.

If you send 1 super attacker, with 1 weapon, which give like 200,000 power, then the MS will only add 200,000 power, even if you have like 100k weapons built

The AC thing, I've never encountered.

[Duderanch]

Yeah, MS can only add up to 100% of your ground attack.

Also my attack logs have always shown 1 AC unit being sent even if I have none trained, when I asked about it 3years ago I was told that's how it's always been.

[LegendaryA]

I confirm 1 AC thing.
Whenever I attack or get attacked, it displays as "1 assassin".

[BenjaminMS]

Always been that way... few years ago I asked already about it... it's just the way of the game. So even if you've got no AC trained, you still can eliminate spies if your AC is high enough
As for MS, it only doubles your strike... it doesn't add full power if your strike is very low

[Dubby_CompGamerGeek2]

lol, thanks folks... yea, it's been a while since my strike was not high enough to take full advantage of my Mothership weapons...

[~squishie~]

I believe it to be a rounding related issue where it has 0.56 or something of an assassin there so it rounds it up to 1.

That or it is a ceiling function, such that even 0.00001 goes to 1.
