Warp vanish: on a 4!

PostTue Jul 03, 2012 10:21 pm

Warped a Berserker of mine using a teleport pad.

Rolled a 4, but the Zerker vanished from the pitch. Game has continued as if I have 6 players still, no sub options and it still waits after I've moved my 5 remaining players.

On the other hand, both my opponent and I warped and rolled 1, and the game continued just fine with no missing players. Not sure if this is reported, but thought I'd post up regardless :)

It's not a bug. When you warp, you roll the D6 and you are lost in space if you roll the number of the teleporter you entered. You apparently entered teleporter 4 and were zapped. There is always a 1/6 chance that you will get zapped when you use a teleporter.

A normal teleport results in a white "ghost" ring appearing on the teleported before you are moved to your new destination. If you roll the same number as your current teleporter, you will hear and see a distinct lightning bolt instead.

Players "Lost In Space" are shown in the dugout, and can not be returned to play in that match.

Ah! This makes more sense. Thanks. I didn't realise it was tele number that mattered, I just presumed it was a straight d6 roll.

On maps with more than 6 teles, what does the game do? (Assuming there are any, I've only played today).

On maps with more or fewer than 6 teleporters, the game generates a random number from 1 up to the number of teleporters. So if there are just 2 teleporters, you have a 50% of getting lost in the warp. On the other hand if there are 20 teleporters, you have only a 5% chance of being lost in the warp.

I'll update the log to show when a player is lost in space.

Can it also be flagged on the player detail in the dugout?

Same with players that have been removed because of a trap?

Would be great to have some indication of what happened to a player, even if it is just text in a mouse-over.
