INDUSTRIAL BATTLINGU

I just had a fight where in a MIRV missile, became a ship and escaped from me.
So now it’s just a ship in a fleet. Uh you may want to fix that.

Those things don’t have an AI smart enough to retreat.  What conditions caused this?

Might be my laptop, but when the Siegebreaker opens its doors to start firing missiles I get massive slowdown.

It’s a rather large animation, so it could be just having an underpowered video card.

Also, are the Olympus and Caesar eventually available at the station? I managed to get my Olympus A at Askonia but nothing at the II station.

Version 1.0.1 (May 25, 2014):
– Custom sound effect added to Particle Gun and Particle Repeater
– TITAN and Apocalypse MIRV no longer persist in campaign fleets
– AI is now more likely to fire the TITAN and Apocalypse MIRV

P.S. All Imperium ships are available at their station, but some are rarer than others.  Also, Uomoz is adding the Interstellar Imperium soon.
