Bug or not a Bug ?
I was wondering about this
I've seen many posts about zombie ships in deneb but never thought to ask
Is this a bug or is this suppose to happen by design
Ships often do not do anything, especially Serco, probably Itani does this too but I don't have any Itani characters so far so I don't know how often or at what ratio this might occur
Anyhow not specific to this screen shot or Teradon but this happens for all the large ships in Deneb they just sometimes sit there especially when you need them most to start firing.
As you see you ship fleet just sitting around sometimes the entire fleet will do this as the opposing Teradon just goes around killing them all one by one with no way to take out the Teradon unless you have some avalons handy or with other players. In this case I was solo so in spite of this the war was won, but very close and almost lost because of this.
Curious is this a bug that they would not shoot or move or by design
Anyhow the Teradon was being fired on as well in one of those screen hard to here but the Rag was shooting it with rockets and neuts and Teradon just smiles and wave LOL
Anyhow is this a bug or not ?

So, your URL has three screenshots of ships, which doesn't really clarify anything for me.
There are definitely issues with capship AI in Deneb. These have been pretty widely reported and are on our to-do list. They cover a lot of areas. I'm guessing what may be happening here is that the attack stand-off distance for the Teradon is such that the defending ships may never engage their turrets at all. This is especially likely if they're head-on, as the turrets only fire at what they can individually "see".
But if the distances are short enough that the turrets should be engaging, then it is almost certainly a bug of some kind. I can't give much information beyond that. We're currently totally overloaded on other development, and past that the Faction system takes precedence, but we will be working on Deneb sometime in the coming months.
I'm also moving this thread to Bugs, which is a better place to discuss whether something is a bug or not (Bugs or Suggestions, not General).

Ok, thanks.
Teradons can get stuck in a bad angle where they will not engage a connie at times.
I will usually ram them full turbo and push them into a better position
A new one I have seen. If the teradon attacks the HAC from low and to the left firing into the HACs sort of lil wings on top. The balls go right through the model and do not register a hit

Seen that before too CrazySpence. I was watching a Trident attacking a connie but the balls were just passing through instead of actually hitting. I had to kill the Trident manually after that.
