Enemy targets appear to be in range. The turrets are fully charged. The ship hasn't fired. I'm not really understanding. Bug?
Cruiser doesn't fire it's last shot in this clip until it's super close
#Fleet - weapon range circle is odd

After killing the bottom two snipers, the corvette's weapon fully charges and then it just holds the shot on the top two snipers for moment
offtopic: Is it intended that the bb# battles don't give credit for "command fleet victories" achievement?
lost rivet
we seem to have less range against snipers
lapis crown
ECM snipers, noty 😦
(actually, that's a probably a good idea for a new enemy ability)
heady gull
oh
It's because the range actually uses Manhattan distance
And I was lazy and kept the indicator circle
lapis crown
😦 why do you hate circles and trig?
heady gull
Normal distance just created crazily unintuitive behavior a lot of the time
lapis crown
really? like what?
heady gull
Mostly that ships wouldn't go towards their like directly opposing guys as much if the was even a slight variance in speed
lapis crown
ah
heady gull
And then also visually just didn't quite seem to make sense like you shoot things that really looked like they weren't closer
but it needs to be a rotated square not a circle
for the range indicator
lapis crown
any chance weapon range can use normal distance, but movement keep using manhattan? or is that too much effort?
in the end, not a big deal either way. I think the cruiser clip just really highlighted it. And I only noticed because I randomly clicked the cruiser at the end of the fight
heady gull
I think that would still have similar issues. And there's only one target you move toward the thing you're trying to shoot so.
But yeah I should either remove the circle. Shrink it so it isn't as crazily off on the edges. or make a diamond thingy

or a hack job would be use to inscribed circle instead of the circumscribed circle for the range indiciator =p I'm not going to going to complain about "extra" range
heady gull
I have no idea what inscribed and circumscribeld circles are
glacial bramble
It's because the range actually uses Manhattan distance
uses what?\
lapis crown
an inscribed circle would always be within manhattan distance
the circumscribed circle is the opposite
glacial bramble
oh, square
heady gull
Ohh and would that represent the distance correctly then somehow?
glacial bramble
more accurately
lapis crown
I mean just as often as now
but the error would be on the "OH LOOK THEY SHOT EXTRA!"
instead of "why is my cruiser broken?"
heady gull
right lol
glacial bramble
so it feels better
lapis crown
yeah
glacial bramble
I mean you could do some dirty approximation of the square range into a circle
that has it half in and half out
lapis crown
ya but then you'd still get bug reports saying the ships aren't shooting far enough (probably)
