Thread: Homeworld shifted?

  1. #1

    Homeworld shifted?

    My home world moved to another planet in Irakalla? How is this possible? The little blue icon went from my original starting planet to a new planet? That means if I get attacked here I can lose? All my defense is at original starting planet.

    I sent a bug report. Or does the little blue icon next to starting planet mean something different. I thought it meant it is the home world?

    The devs know about this and are working on a fix. It's because you too over a planet of a player who was assigned a home world, but hadn't logged in yet.

    Thanks for the explanation. At first I saw the blue icon on my HW gone and thought I lost it already!

    That doesn't make sense though. For his homeworld to disappear, wouldn't that mean they originally assigned that homeworld to two players. I thought the issue you describe just meant you could lose colonies you took early in the game before other people joined not your homeworld.

    I thought if a player took a world belonging to someone else if would just look like a regular world. Not sure why the HW marker would move.

    It is very weird.

    I don't understand the HW marker moving either. I am suspicious that the client is perhaps getting confused by seeing multiple HW flags, and so displays the last one seen. I'll have to talk to Z about this, client mechanics are a mystery to me.

    My homeworld just moved as well, and I think I know what happened. I colonized a new juicy looking system, that I believe was meant to be a homeworld for a player who never joined. It's planet_60 and I think only homeworlds have numbers that low. Anyway, after colonizing, the next time I logged in, my newest colony had the homeworld marker.

    For strategery's sake, I'd like to know which one I should treat as my hmeworld. I liked the previous location better

    Edit: yeah and it started with 400Mu population.

    Do both of them have the homeworld marker or just hte new one?

    Just the new one. I'm trying to quickly colonize the area in case it's a permanent shift. Then again, what happens if that player eventually joins? Would my homeworld shift back or would I be homeless?

    Okay scratch that. I just logged back in and now both have the homeworld symbol. I guess I have dual citizenship

    Edit: in the planets list, only the new one does. In the map, both do now.
