Procedure to patch on PBW?
I gave a fleet of fighters the order to go to a space yard and become mothballed. They went to the space station and I got a message saying they were successfully mothballed, but they are there at the station, with no symbol indicating they are mothballed. I can give them an order to move, which they seem to accept. And, if I break the fighter groups out of the fleet I can order each group. However, the "mothball" order is grayed out. Am I missing something obvious? Thanks for any help.

Re: mothball problem?
Is this an SE4 question or SE5?

Re: mothball problem?
You cannot mothball units in SE4. In SE5, no units (in stock) have the "Can Be Mothballed" capability, so the same applies.

Re: mothball problem?
In SEIV, units don't have a maintenance cost, and (except for drones) do not use supplies if they don't move, so mothballing them would be pointless anyway.

Re: mothball problem?
We're playing
SE5 v1.71 with Balance Mod v1.14a
So, it sounds like I'm stuck with the maintenance costs of all my units. Darn....!

Re: mothball problem?
Note that there is also a "Can't Unmothball" bug in v1.71, so that any ships you mothball you won't be able to use again - save upgraded to v1.74 and BM v1.14b.

LOL Fyron - 99.99% of games have backward compatibility after patching? I have got some sweet karma coming my way then...  |
