multiple supply platforms, all of them idle.
No friendly planet

Were you within 250 gu of the platform? The logic for reloading is fairly simple and robust.
1. Get all objects within a 250 gu radius.
2. Itterate through all of those objects until a friendly ship is detected.
3. If a target matching the criteria is found, check if it needs reloading or repairing.
4. If target matches the criteria, repair/reload it, otherwise keep looking for a repair target. [ This Message was edited by: Pantheon on 2020-04-16 19:08 ]

yes, I was literally hugging the platform, and its description said repairing supply platform (although it was at 100%)
Right now it seems to work just fine though

The server is only permitted to use 75% of it's CPU time for AI. It's possible the limit was hit due to the recent increase in AI permitted, in which case the server may skip logic steps to ensure a smooth experience. [ This Message was edited by: Pantheon on 2020-04-16 19:11 ]

That does make sense. In this case it wouldn't be a specific coding issue, but rather a resource management/ efficiency thing?
I may even have induced the issue by spamming platforms then (a)
(not intentionally of course)
I think we al love the extra AI activity btw, no complains there! [ This Message was edited by: 42861 on 2020-04-16 19:42 ]
