Bug of the year?

[Lion]

Hello,
so u ll see a bug i never saw in this game before, about which V posted pictures in the "screenshots of the week" thread. What u see is actually a consequence of the bug which occured at 27 min 05s. One atlantis was building close to t3 navy fac and - i don t know if it s what made the bug occur - at the same time the t3 navy fac disapears ! I was surprised to see that during game and then i thought i hadn t pay attention enough about his hp and so it was simply destroyed by ennemy shots. But watching replay shows hp were altmost full ... I was realizing there was a problem anyway since i couldn t buil another fac at this same place even with checking there was nothing which could have bloked the building. This bug was amazing but the most amazing was the consequence : the unachieved battlecruiser got linked to atlantis !! Both looking like a whale with his baby ^^. And there are more consequences : If u look good, u will see the "building llinks" are still linking the bc to where was the t3 navy fac. Actually it was like if the t3 navy fac was still existing and building the bc. That explains at least why i couldn t build anything else at the same place. But i don t think i could have selected it, i think it was a ghost factory... Then about 3 minutes later, the bc was finished and was released from the atlantis ^^. Unbelievable.

I used to be able to do this on command. I wonder if the repro is still the same. I thought we'd fixed that way back in 3603.

Lols, this is sooooo old. You don't know this? :p

It is kinda easy to reproduce it and you can do all sorts of stuff... for example an Atlantis which can build ships while moving + some static shields, a southsayer, an omni etc. etc.... you can even load your ACU into it.

Not sure if we should tell everyone, though. It isn't a very useful bug, though.

It also crashes the game, which is not what we want.

Yeah, when attempting to unload the bugged unit, almost forgot that..
