Capture Bug?
« on: December 21, 2010, 08:24:23 AM »
About the new capture system. Last night in LW Blue I was helping defend A199 from an attemped noe sneak. We killed 2 ...maybe 3 goons. During this time I would guess that 6 or 7 troops did make it into the maproom while the flag was white. We ran off the invaders and soon we had one of our guys camped by the maproom in a GV waiting for the town to pop or more troops.

Well after a while they didn't come back and the town started to pop and the flag turned to red again. I flew over the town to confirm that the flag was indeed red and the town was popping. I relayed this the our GV guy and he towered out and I proceeded to land. As I was about to land someone yelled goon over town. He was shot down but I was too far away to see any troops dropping. Also there was no GV spawn so no M3s were a factor.

Anyway, the base was captured by this last goon. I don't understand how the base could be taken if the flag was red when the last goon dropped his troops. Is this a bug or is there something about the new capture system that I'm not getting?


Also the goon pilot confirms the flag was red also.  :salute

We installed a new host today that should fix this issue.  It looks like it was just a problem with the white flag object resetting itself after awhile regardless of the town's condition.
