I'll refer you to Marion's post on the subject, which you can read by visiting this link.

In short, it isn't supposed to be working like that, and we've reiterated that expectation to the people who are currently approving submissions.

Best,

That's an idea that's being kicked around.

Sadly, I don't speak German but I believe you're reporting a known issue with the damage decals on certain ships showing up on the wrong side or in the air near the ship. We have this bug logged in our internal bug database to be fixed.

You can report bugs and receive support in German by using the Report an Issue tab at support.flyinglab.com.

Hello all,

We do encourage people to discuss and even debate almost whatever they wish. As long as people do not break the PotBS Forum Rules & Expectations, you can discuss your thoughts on the game.

However, if you do want to respond to a post where folks have expressed frustration or dissatisfaction, you should also be following the PotBS Forum Rules & Expectations.


-No Flaming
While debate and discussion are encouraged, we will not tolerate rude or insulting posts, personal attacks or inflammatory posts of any kind.

-No Trolling
Posting in a thread for the sole purpose of harassing a user or derailing / hijacking a thread topic is not allowed.

Not it.

We don't censor what people say as long as it's not violating the Community Rules. People can complain all day if they choose, as long as they're not breaking the rules.

There are *thousands* of posts a day. We work as hard as we can to watch them for rules violations (we need sleep, days off, etc...) but the best way to keep the forums clean is to:

1. Don't respond in anger to an opinion you don't like.
2. Don't insult other people for whatever reason
3. Use the "Report this post" feature, which brings it to our attention rather than relying on us to read every single thread on every section of the forums.

Folks should take responsibility for their posting behaviour, but sometimes folks get angry, get upset or want to defend their honour when they've been slighted.

I have a rule for myself which has been standing since ye olde Usenet days...

When responding to someone when I'm emotional or feel strongly about something, type it up in Notepad. Step away from the computer. Come back, read it again *out loud* to see how it sounds. At that point, I realize that there will be someone offended or they'll misread intent (as we cannot gauge emotion or intent in a text based form). If someone does misread my intent, then I didn't do a very good job of expressing myself. Instead of calling that person a name or insulting their parentage, I apologize and ask what they did read and clarify my point.

It's amazing the friendships or acquaintances I've developed over the years because of it.

So, that's my long story about communicating in digital form.

It's not random when a ship surrenders. First we flag them as being able to surrender (so, you're right, Sibben, some ships simply won't). Then, the AI makes a calculation based on its estimated time to death compared to that of its target. That's why ships that take massive amounts of damage for a sustained period of time will surrender, but ships that just get nickled and dimed will sometimes fight to the bitter end.

I don't work with customer support or know our policies, so I can't say whether they will replace the ship. Contact support to find out the answer to that one. I'm just telling you what the problem is and how it affects new ships versus old ships.
