I saw in the log of a game I'm playing that a Ferrengi was blown up by a Q-cannon.

First of all, I thought Ferrengi wouldn't enter a sector with a planet. Second, this happened on day 5 of a game with default citadel construction times, so no players should have Q-cannons.

Either of these facts implies that the game has some wandering killer planet mod or something, right?

Is this a game where you'd have access to the data and could send me an archive to have a look? Could be a bug where the Ferrengi's cannon is attacking its own or something. Could be something else. It's hard to say without looking. I assume this is Gold Ferrengi, not the classic ones.

It's Cruncher's game B. I think she's running the beta. That's all I can tell you.

Has someone capped Ferrengal? If so when an alien goes into the sector, which they will, the cannon will fire. Put your planet in the wrong sector and aliens will moth your cannons to nothing.

This was day 5, so I'm pretty sure nobody has capped Ferrengal. I know where it is, and it was still surrounded with Ferrengi fighters on day 3 or 4. I don't want to decloak just to check the log, but I doubt I missed it being capped.

There were also 15 million fighters in the game on day zero. I haven't gone in under a photon to look, but I assume they're on Ferrengal. Cruncher did say she beefed it up this rebang. :lol:

She should be sending me a TWA so I can take a look under the hood.

I'll send it as soon as I get home, leaving the office now.

That Ferrengal is a Special Gold edited planet, with max fuel, figs and shields.

You bumped the level too, didn't you.... That's why there's a cannon.

Yeap, it's a L6 but the IG is off.

I would also make sure you didn't accidently change the ownership of the planet when you were editing it. I've fat fingered the keyboard too many times.

Ok, Mongoose, I had a quick look at the data. Cruncher has both classic and Gold Ferrengi running, so what you saw was a Gold Ferrengi hitting the classic Ferrengi's Q-Cannon.

Well, I'm glad he's dead. That particular Ferrengi kept hitting my fighters. :lol:
