Ship Range Issue

Published on August 5, 2007 By drakonfire In Dark Avatar

Okay this is obnoxious. I am playing a gigantic game and writing an AAR using it (Quest For Unity) and I am trying to build and economic/influence based civilization. However I am butt-far from any other civ, so I had to customize my freighter for long range, it has a range of 14.8 sct. However, when I try to send it more than 7 and a half sectors out, I get the "We can't go there!" error. Am I misunderstanding something here? shouldn't I be able to go near 15 full sectors away from my home planet?

Yeah, there is some hard range limit on ships no matter how much life support you use. It's about 5 sectors, and it shows on the map, but it's shaped like a square rather than a circle like normal. Send out a long-range constructor to build a starbase in the direction you need to go.

Devs, it would be nice if this got fixed/explained/limited somehow in the next update
