This weekend I followed several itani convoys from Bractus to Divinia, and when they docked, they did not announce a delivery, and no delivery shows up on the CtC boards.

I made Sherpa aware of this and he assures me that devs are "looking into it?"

I said that Momerath has been watching the bot behavior. He's trying to get an overview of the problem so that he can squash it. That may entail allowing them to go awry for a short time.

I'm confused. Lebermac, are you talking about ctc convoys? I assume so since they are the only ones that have ever announced a delivery. I wasn't aware that there was anything wrong with them, and I'm surprised, if there is, because they are still running on the same code they have been. The recently introduced convoys have nothing to do with CtC. CtC, in fact, is really just a greatly simplified case of being able to impact the economy by helping or hurting trade. What we've got coming is to CtC as chess is to tic-tac-toe.

Yes, Itani CtC convoys aren't delivering, which caused itani to lose by 6. :(

A few of us told Ray last night when he hopped on though. Serco CtC convoys still seem to be working though.

In this thread: http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/2/11986 it's said that they don't deliver if they're damaged below 100% hull when they arrive, is that the case, or do they never deliver even when they're at 100% hull?

ooooooh...

Yes, I'm sorry, I should have been more specific: CtC Convoys. I can confirm that several Itani CtC convoys did not announce or deliver last week, even though I escorted them all the way from Bractus and watched them dock. No announcements whatsoever, even 10 minutes later. Checking the CtC stats page before and after the supposed delivery, no changes were evident.

All of the voys that I escorted arrived without a scratch. So they were at 100%.

I'm not really complaining, just announcing that something odd is happening with the CtC bots.

I can't do the same for the Serco voys since the Pyronis SF's don't let me get close to the station. If I can see it happen again I will make a note of the logs, the bot #, etc, and send a bug report to you guys.

I confess, I oper-killed them as they docked.[/joking]

Could this have anything to do with any kind of fix for the exploitable cargo bug?

I know that back before the cargo dup exploit was fixed, if a transport was destroyed going through a warp, and the dupped transport on the other side of the warp made it in to the station, it did not deliver.

OK it happened again.

I watched this guy from Edras, no damage until he hits the dock trying to, well, dock. No message and no delivery. Hrm.
