Stonerkrieg Posted January 16, 2004 Report Posted January 16, 2004 Took my Aestrom into a hairy combat against several ter/ins B.C.3's.All my fighters in perfect shape,pilots were healthy,well rested and fed.I launched all my fighters...and nothing.I chesked their status and every single pilot was dead!!After defeating my enemies I tractored the fighters back on board.They were still in perfect shape,100%green down the board,but being piloted by corpses.The paint wasn't even scratched.I've cloned allnew pilots,but am nervous about launching until I can figure out what killed the first group.They were all experianced pilots with over 30 missions each and averaging 5 kills.
Eclipse Posted January 16, 2004 Report Posted January 16, 2004 Yikes. Nothing was damaged in the fighters at all? How about life support?
Supreme Cmdr Posted January 16, 2004 Report Posted January 16, 2004 They probably died tired? Anyway, you should know by now that someone doesn't have to stick a gun in the cockpit to kill your pilots. Combat damage to the craft's hull/armor propagates damage to the occupants. The same thing that happens in the CC. All crafts have A/P, so at least you got the crafts back.
Stonerkrieg Posted January 17, 2004 Author Report Posted January 17, 2004 Pilot fatigue was 0%,All fighters were in perfect condition.All systems in the green at 100%.I think(hope)it was just a glitch.I've decided not to worry to much since I went through flx-01 and was destroyed.Nice graphics of my dying though

Its never a glitch.
Kalshion Posted January 17, 2004 Report Posted January 17, 2004 Like in reality, I think if the pilots push there fighters to much they WILL die I have also noticed that if the fighters hull becomes breached then there is a 50% chance of the pilot(or pilots) dieing, but to be honest I havn't really seen that happen when IM piloting a fighter but have seen it happen when AI's are piloting There is also another possibility, When the fighters launched an enemy PTA might've brushed through all the fighters, I have seen instances where even my own CC's PTA beams have killed the crew of a fighter and yet left the fighter intact. If it can happen to the enemy then it sure as hell can happen to your own
Stonerkrieg Posted January 17, 2004 Author Report Posted January 17, 2004 Sorry,Supreme Commander,by glitch I was referring to this buggy new XP operating system.Even with the Indeo download I'm still having problems with some of my Indeo dependent software.

No, video has nothing to to with your pilots dying in their fighter.
Guest Fox__Trot Posted January 18, 2004 Report Posted January 18, 2004 No I think he was attempting to brush it off from "It was a glitch" referring to BCM/G to "It was a glitch" referring to some piece of soft/hard ware on his computer I'm sure theres a word for that
