During the combat recon, enemy captain was killed just before 90 seconds passed. He didn’t respawn, but his status wasn’t “Eliminated”. Ships from his team could still respawn, except for the captain, who was greyed out in the status screen.
The bug occured once for me - looks like it needs some special circumstances like captain dead just before 90 seconds passed, but still on respawn timer when those 90 seconds passed.
Additional info - dead captain received 750 points for surviving as a captain.
Repro - in combat recon, kill the captain just before initial 90 seconds passes.
Wait, Skula, after this logic, the team with the respawn blocked captain, who “is still alive” has an immortal captain, and respawn in until they can kill the mortal captain of the other team!?
While it sounds like an epic cow level, not sure if this isn’t a bug in the ruleset?
If you look at the screenshot, Red captain is dead but his team’s inactive ships are not greyed out, so they can still respawn.
From the log attached to the post:
Game started at 20:55:59.514, Red captain died at 20:56:37.640 (37 seconds into the match, respawned at 20:56:57.884) and 20:57:29.887 (90.323 seconds into the match - so OP was a little wrong here - and he didn’t respawn).
At 20:58:02.048 ulthir from the red team died and respawned at 20:58:22.190 , over 40 seconds after his captain died.
