UltraCorps: Known Bugs

Updated 9-4-2007

We know about these bugs, so you don't need to report them. If you notice a new bug, please send mail to kira@sjgames.com. Be sure that UltraCorps is in the title of your mail.

Defending Against Two Opponents. When you defend a world against two opponents, the battle report you see on Com-Net is entertainingly broken, so that the second player's name is omitted but the "Review Battle" link actually goes to his Empire page.
Map Scrolling When Viewing As Guest. When you view a game as a guest from the Observation Deck, map scrolling sometimes gives an error message. We have been given very exact descriptions of what triggers this and we can't replicate it :-\ So we are waiting for new info, or for inspiration. Priority: low but aggravating.
Art Bug - The Blood 99 Turret and N-Class v3 use the same illustration. We also need more Nozama images. Priority: low.
Scanners Page Icons - The icons on the All Scanners page are hardcoded to go with the default scan ranges. When a PUB game owner changes the ranges in his own game, the icons on the All Scanners page are either wrong or messed up. Priority: low but aggravating.

Commonly Reported Bugs That Aren't

Firepower Doesn't Add Up - This is our most commonly reported bug. It's not a bug :-) A fleet is more effective than its separated units, and a fleet's firepower is greater than that of its components. See Firepower for more details.
Broken Map Images - Also not actually a bug. If you're getting broken maps, your browser is caching old pages. Please adjust your browser to check the page on the server every time.

Docco Issues

If you see a problem with the online help files, please report it to sj@sjgames.com. Here is one we know about:

Downloadable PDF - There is not yet a downloadable version of the rules. We will do that when we lock features for launch. Priority: medium.

Deleted Features

Not bugs . . . These are features of version 1.0 that haven't been coded into the current version 1.5, and some may never be.

Newsgroups - Not set up yet. The forums serve a similar purpose for mega-games, and all players can write Headlines in PUB games, so it's not urgent. Priority: medium-low.
Universe Map - Not set up yet. But if you zoom all the way out on the regular map, the whole universe can be seen in every test game so far. Priority: used to be very low, but Mr. Blarney's demonstrations of universe maps are so good that we're motivated to try to implement them.
Fleet Paths on Map - In version 1.0 of the game, fleet deployments from a given world were visible as dashed lines when that world was selected on the map. This has not been implemented in 1.5. Priority: very low, unless a lot of players indicate that this really bothers them, because the improved and sortable Show All Fleets page gives a clearer and more detailed way to get this information.
