This is not an area to debate the pros and cons of proposed features. It is an area for people to suggest new features for either TW or TWGS. I will either add the proposed feature to my planned features list, or explain my reasons for passing on the feature at this time. Features added to the list can be voted on so I can gauge people's interest.

I need a little clarification. How does it work now and how would you like to see it changed?

My guess is instead of paying he hit A 0 to attack with zero figs but someones script triggered on it and he either met a Photon or Planet. If he had P for pay the second trigger would not have activated :)
I would say it works correctly as designed.

If I could get a screen cap I would. Actually what I meant is. Say i have a toll fig out n about. T0yman hits a to attack my fighter but hit's 0 instead then pays the toll. I am not seeing where the logs say i paid the toll but rather i attcked the fighter.

in Crapper (Bofors Imperial StarShip)

I'd have to ask, which game were you playing? 1.03 or v2.xx?

You should just attack that player already because he chose A
even if he changed his mind.
Firstly because if you did not , then you won't get a second chance if he
put a value greater then 0 in the wave.

Secondly , toll or def does not matter .. they are there as target sectors.
If it were a peaceful game or truce or maybe friends .. that is different story.
But if the toll was layed because of a stock world trade script .. too bad
pay at your own risk ... I'll drop on you regardless even if you do pay.


I don't think I'm alone here on this.
Too many players pay the tolls and leave presents .. so give back and teach
them to just kill the fig and get out or scan and avoid that spot in their next movement chose.

my 2¢

The test I did was 1.03. I will retest in 2.15.

2.15 - Same Results

I agree 100 percent. I am just trying to keep the peace in this game I'm on. unfortunately I'm no where near as big as one person. I started the game 120 days late.

Thank you for testing this. I forgot which version I was on it was 2.06 that probably sums up everything. I did it on my own machine and got the same thing you posted. I tried it in 2.06 with a friend and he only got the message I was attacking.

Sorry guys for posting something from a few updates ago =-/
