• Server Hacked

  I got an email at about 15:30 from my cloud server provider saying that it looked like the server I rent is being used to brute-force attack other servers. On a Sunday of all days!
  
  Long story short, it was. I turned it off for a while until I decided what to do, which was basically clean out all I could find, add some extra security, and hope for the best. It's back up now, and fingers crossed that all fixed.

• Stellar Forces was down

  ..although you probably knew that. I got disk corruption on my hosted server, and it was then one problem after another trying to get it all back. The backup was too big for the server to store whilst also restoring it, so I've had to rent a new server. Then it turns out that since I've not updated the server for years, Java and MariaDb have moved on and so there was a few problems with the source code needing some modifications to handle how they've changed.
  
  However, it looks like it's working again now, fingers crossed!

• Action points reduced

  Thanks Dijon, I completely forgot I'd added this feature a few months ago.

• Action points reduced

  Yes! Just for the first turn. I wasn't aware of this, but. now I am I can account for it. If it's the same for every player then I'm fine with it, I just lost a few games because I never read the forums :)

• Action points reduced

  Isn't this for the first turn only for player 1? It's a new feature discussed in 'Reducing APs for first player's first turn'.

• Action points reduced

  Armour is usually the biggest cause of low APs, especially heavy/superheavy. If a unit gets exhausted, this will halve their APs.
  
  I've just had a look at that game, and your only surviving unit should have 57 APs? Let me know of any specific running games where the APs are low and I'll have a look.

• Action points reduced

  I think if you carry too much this can happen, but it's happening with units that are holding nothing, or just one grenade.

• Action points reduced

  Hey Steve. Maybe it's a new feature I missed, but I've started a few games recently and all my units only have about half the action points they usually have, like 30 or so. Obviously this puts you at a pretty big disadvantage, especially on games like Assassins. It's happened to me 4 or 5 times recently, enough now that I know I'm not imagining it! Most recently it happened on game 52543.

  This should be fixed now.

  I've just noticed that enails have stopped being sent since the 7th June. Just looking into it now...

• Unit can see you but you can't see their unit.

  The "good" news is that I can recreate it. The bad news is I've no idea why it's happening, but I'll see if I can get to the bottom of it.

  Yes it is. Be interesting if you can re-create it. Thanks.

  I'll have a look and see if I can recreate it, although to be honest it's probably a case of slightly different pixels being checked depending on the direction, and the corner of the wall was only "caught" in one direction. Is it the bottom-right of Moonbase Assault?

  The first post should read "by my opponent".

  My unit was facing to the right. Here is a screenshot.
