[P0RT] Admiral_H_Nelson Players 3,938 posts 23,206 battles Report post #1 Posted January 21 Hi All, I used the XP gains on the tier 7 ship to research the tier 8 Shimanto. Played 3 games. Got one top score and two mid-table finishes. (Only a coop peasant, me) Game is plain vanilla - NO MODS This is the status of shimanto Any ideas of what I am doing wrong? PS sorry for any typos but I am quite ill 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[PORT] Kutteldaddeldu Players 47 posts 39,313 battles Report post #2 Posted January 21 Just a thought... maybe you have researched modules (B-Hull and/or Gun Fire Control), using fxp and the thus far gathered bits of ship xp after those three battles? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alt tabbing for an extended time while on auto pilot is sufficient for that. I don't receive warning popups as I loathe popups with a passion and disabled them in the windows OS - maybe you, too? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alt tabbing for an extended time while on auto pilot is sufficient for that. Could be, but I suspect that AFK penalty must have been imposed after the OP had done some significant damage (to come top/middle of the score table). Maybe ALT-TAB'ing after clearing his flank, sailing towards the other flank (with remaining reds) in a straight line (or as you say autopilot) and taking a while (IIRC >5mins?) to get there without doing any keyboard input. Kinda sucks if the map has tall mountains in the way (Two Brothers) so that you don't have a clear shot to the other flank. I suppose it could also happen if the co-op bots all run away from you to the other side map - which they do from time to time. @Admiral_H_Nelson, I don't suppose you took screenie's of the PERSONAL SCORE after any of those matches? That would tell you that you earned zero credits/XP because of a penalty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[P0RT] Admiral_H_Nelson Players 3,938 posts 23,206 battles Report post #6 Posted January 21 Thank you for the replies. Sorry for any errors _ i can barely type at the moment Sorry I did not keep any other screen shots. I did not ALT-TAB during the games at all. I never do. I logged in again just now. Shimanto still shows: Note that the captain started at zero before I played the games, and his personal score has beed credited i SUSPECT THIS AS THE CAUSE................. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[P0RT] Admiral_H_Nelson Players 3,938 posts 23,206 battles Report post #7 Posted January 21 FURTHER UPDATE: Played two games #1 #2 Meanwhile my official stats in the summsry area of my profile says................ So it appears that the game knows that I HAVE played 5 games, but I got no ship XP for the first three! Oh well, good job that I relegated the game from "semi-hobby" status to "very occasional" in my New Year's Resolution! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[TOFTC] Thalandor_gaming Players 79 posts 28,195 battles Report post #8 Posted January 21 It can't be afk penalty, because then he would end up at the bottom of the exp table. Spaghetti code also seems unlikely as a critical no ship exp bug would be known serverwide by now. Did you buy modules with ship and free exp? That is the most likely scenario here.

(and a violation warning) Periodically alt-tabbing does not incur the penalty. I dont', though, know if it keeps track of how often you alt-tab out or not. I alt-tab at times, I get the flashing warning, I get back into game and I have not gotten any penalties AFAIK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[88TH] Siagor Players 1,336 posts Report post #11 Posted January 21 It was nor periodical, I went full alt-tab to something more interesting till the battle ended. And got spanked, despite playing and killing all reds on my side of the map, with the rest too far to reach. "Off to the gulag, comrade" mentality in codding. "Nyet comrade, no relaxed Western alt-tabbing allowed! Off to the gulag!" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spaghetti code also seems unlikely as a critical no ship exp bug would be known serverwide by now The AFK penalties changed last year so that, after a period of inactivity, your XP & credit earnings are zero. Not sure it affects your BaseXP score though. Hence, why I theorized the OP could have done quite a bit at the start, but didn't appear to be active towards the end. I'm not sure this system is the best as there's a few situations where someone could get penalized, unfairly, when being inactive is the correct thing to do. Eg : your team is up on points, victory is in the bag but your the only one left on low health. So all you have to do is not die hence you clear off to a remote part of the map and hide behind a rock. Now you could get an AFK penalty as you did nothing for >5mins while running the clock down to win on points. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[LOKTR] Viridem Players 381 posts 13,272 battles Report post #14 Posted January 21 You... spent the XP? No really, that's the only logical explanation I can come up with. You played 3 games stock or with only one module, then unlocked one or two modules with the XP + free XP, bringing you to 0. I suppose the 7k XP you got on that captain were from these 3 games. So I don't think it was afk penalty, otherwise you wouldn't have had that captain XP. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karkong_the_Impaler Players 2,983 posts Report post #15 Posted January 21 Buying stuff with what you have and some free exp lead to 0 exp on the ship. That's really the only reasonable explanation left unless spaghetti code. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't recall doing this but it is most logical, especially since I am going around in a bit of a dzae just lately due to hwealth isssues.

You don't recall, but you can check if you have researched any modules. Get well soon, mate. I just spent two weeks with the flu. I'm still not rid of it, the symptoms seem to persist, like trouble getting enough oxygen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
