Subset Games Forum

This bug becomes apparent in the following scenario:
1. Let's say my ship has weapons upgraded to 6
2. I have 3 weapon equipments in slots 1-3 with the power requirements of 1, 3, 3 respectively.
3. Move Zoltan crew member to weapons station

Once Zoltan is in place, the weapon with power requirement of 1 (i.e. my Artemis) is automatically powered on, and I cannot power it off. This prevents me from powering on my other two weapons. I'm able to get around this by
1. Moving the Zoltan out of weapons
2. Borrowing power from another system temporarily
3. Disabling artemis and enabling the other two weapons
4. Move Zoltan back into weapons position
5. Reuse borrowed power unit in another subsystem.

You can reorder the weapons by clicking and dragging them in the panel. Ideally you want your most important weapon in 1st slot because it will be damaged last.

Also, it's best to keep Zoltan in the Engines or Shields. Shields are great with 2 Zoltans because the last bubble can never be ioned Heck, if you have 4 Zoltan in there you would have 2 shields impervious to Ion weapons. Nice

...and then that room gets hit by a breach missile and you lose 4 Zoltans. Ouch.

I came here to look/post about this exact "bug". Thank you for beating me to it and explaining how it is not a bug, but a feature! The weapon re-ordering is an easy solution, thanks!
