Hello everyone,
Since this problem is pretty weird, I made an experiment with following steps: (It's in 3.6.14_RC5, but since the problem exists in 3.6.12 also, I think there isn't much difference)
1. Play the mission normally until first checkpoint reached, then use cheats in following categories:
a. mark myself invulnerable.
b. Use [~ + shift + K] to destroy all turrets(press "select next live turret" and hold down the keys until all turrets destroyed) on all hostile ships except Carthage.
c. Remove the green beams at the bow and stern of Carthage. (Didn't remove the central one because it's used in mission events)
2. Do nothing and see whats going on.
After Katana and Altan Orde jumped in, both ships sustained at 100% hull for few seconds.
Then, both of their hull starts to decrease in a very slow speed (1% per 4~5seconds).
Their names on the escort list didn't blink, and no one attacking them. (Checked by pressing "target nearest attacker")
Sometimes, both of them stop decreasing their hull for few seconds, then the hulls start to decrease again.
Till the arrival of Imperieuse, Katana has 58% hull remain, while Altan Orde has 62%.
Perhaps someone could repeat this experiment and see if they get the same result ?
It may suggest this strange bug is not related to enemy weapons. Also, I don't think it's collision damage, because if two ships collide, their names on escort list will blink.
(I know the names on escort list won't blink if damage is done through SEXP(sabotage subsystem, hull), but there's no such commands in the mission file)
P.S. Sorry for bothering you guys with this strange problem. The plot and battle scenario of the mission are really enjoyable. If this seems too bizarre to you, please just leave it, save your time on WiH p2
