Silacoid movement bug

[7Saturn]

I already mentioned this somewhere else, but never took the time to make a saved game for it. Now I did, so for testing purposes, please look at the attached file.

So about the actual problem: When I send one of those three silacoids straight down to the elevator-entrance at the ground level, they don't take a suitable path there. They don't even end up where they were supposed to go to but one field aside from the target. This seems to be happening only in terror-ships, when dropping from the second level, and only with silacoids. Can someone else reproduce this with latest nightly? At my side, this is happening for a few weeks now, so it's not exactly a result of latest coding.

Anyone with the same problem? Or is it just me?

What version of the game are you using?

[7Saturn]

Current nightly. But this is happening for months now. Don't know, it it is happening with 1.0 stable version, too.

If you enable the path preview, you will notice that they take a different path than the one shown in the preview. They end up next to the elevator because they run out of time units when taking the longer path.

Not sure exactly why this happens.

Warboy?

It's not necessarily a lack of TUs. One of them has 6 TUs left, when using the CTRL movement commands. And still ends up one step aside of the elevator. But the mere fact, that it takes a different way, then predicted (and most definitely not a path taking the least amount of TUs), that's my problem. But the stunning part is, that this seems to be happening only with silacoids and I never noticed it with something else than a terror ship, too. Something there must be different.
