In arena game mode the game would sometimes re-spawn ships not selected and over-budgets the specified limit. Bug happened a few times in 1.5m giving 2 1m ships and once on a 750k game giving 2 500k ships, so we tried to intentionally reproduce the bug for screen-shots and this is what we got.
Game lobby: arena with 1.5m budget Initial ships: 1m ship and a 500k splitting ship Re-spawn: 2 1m ships and one of them aren't selected, replacing the 500k ship
ship prices: Crab cannon ship 1m Nail rail ship 1m 6 frigates 1m (around 166k each) bomber and 2 frigates 500k (around 166k each)
IWantMango we tried to intentionally reproduce the bug for screen-shots and this is what we got.
So how do you reproduce it?
Walt I just kept on re-spawning selecting different load-outs as fast as possible making sure to hit as close as possible to the credit limit. usually with a cheaper ship and a more expensive ship, sometimes the cheaper ship gets replaced with something expensive I picked earlier or picked but canceled but gets picked anyway. took a couple of tries to reproduce it.
I can confirm it happened, don't know how to reproduce though since it hasn't happened to me.
I just realized I posted this on the wrong tech support, this happened on the base vanilla game, no mods, sorry about that.
