So I played my first game of PA last night and fortunately for me, my opponent hadn't played much before, either. 30 minutes in to the game, I finally completed my nuke launcher. When I clicked on it, the entire planet had a pale red coloration to it which I assume represented the range of the nuke? With the nuke selected, I clicked on one of my opponents buildings to launch the nuke at it but nothing happened. I tried several times using several different targets but still couldn't get the nuke to fire. Is there something more that the nuke requires? Thanks very much for any info.
No, I didn't see any button on the panel that appeared at the bottom middle of the screen when the nuke launcher was selected. But I guess that explains why the nuke wasn't firing. I didn't realize that once you built the launcher, you then needed to build the nuke separately. Thanks for the info! I'll look closely at the UI that appears the next time I build and select the nuke launcher.
I have the same problem. No button appears to allow me to build a nuke after I've built the launcher. Also the first time I clicked on the launcher it crashed the UI and I had to restart PA and then reconnect to the game. I guess the two are connected. (just noticed the UI crash is bug #2108)
I had the same problem too today. although yesterday i didnt. yesterday i first build a anti nuke which went fine. after that i build a nuke launcher which build fine aswell. today i build a nuke launcher on a 2nde planet and the game went 'red'.
