4.88.6 Bug Reports

[Kyoi]

====================
Type: Bases
Bug: Battleship Gettysburg buys Liberty Rogue and Xenos NPC pilots for $100,000
====================

Seems unintended, it's a price equal to gunboat captains.


Intended, newbie event in progress. Price was adjusted soon after however.

Outcast slavery is actually far better for the victim than the corporate slavery and crime-less imprisonment of the Houses down in places like Liberty Rheinland and Bretonia

[Inferno]

====================
Type: Ship Stats / Infocard
Bug: Hull stats shown on the Coalition VHF is too high.
====================

145000 hull points for a VHF. That is some serious science going on. Very science, many deadly.

Fixed. -Tachyon

====================
Type: Effects
Bug: POB explosions don't stop
====================

POB death explosions are infinitely exploding into oblivion, though it was Alley(i think) testing in Conn, but the bases blowing up didn't stop exploding

[Ruairi]

====================
Type:Systems
Bug:The sun corona doesn't damage ships
====================
I was trying to sun dive to respawn at The Shrine, but I ended up TOUCHING the sun, without taking any "sun damage". I took contact damage from ramming it, but I've been sitting in the corona for about 5 minutes and I haven't been receiving damage. Not sure if it's a fluke, but you should check it out.

Sun corona location not specified. -Xalrok

====================
Type: Systems
Bug: The copper mining field doesn't show in Kansas in B/C 3. no copper drops from asteroids
====================

What do you mean by "doesn't show" here, and are you sure you're inside the field? It's 14k below the plane in B/C3. -Space/Error

[Ramke]

====================
Type: Effects
Bug: Ship cruise charge sound effects are out of sync on certain transports (Taureau)
====================

It might be known, but it's not mentioned here, so might as well. The sound effect is still "charging" when the ship's already entered cruise.

Fixed. -Xalrok

[Skorak]

====================
Type: Systems
Bug: Bristol's storage is actually assigned to belong to Cardiff
====================

The storage containers below Bristol Mining Facility (BMM) are actually owned by Cardiff Mining Facility (IMG), 66K away on the other side of the system.

Fixed. -Xalrok

[nOmnomnOm]

====================
Type: Equipment / Commodity
Bug: Ames Research Station Venders went on vacation.
====================

I undocked from PoB and was 100k at the bottom of the map. I fly to the Freeport and dock and find there is nothing for sale at the venders.

====================
Type: / Infocard /
Bug: Sologne Asteroid Field infocard mentions the Berry System
====================

Berry doesn't exsit anymore
infocard number 506247 and name infocard number 506246.

Fixed. -Xalrok

[Radion]

====================
Type: Systems
Bug: Improperly set max_velocity value for DynamicAsteroids in LI08_peace_river_asteroids.ini.
====================

Value is set to 40 when most other mining fields have a value of 15. I'm guessing this is why mining is such a pain in that field compared to others since I see no other differences.

The field in question compared to the other plat field and a gold field for reference.

Alberta Field

[DynamicAsteroids]
asteroid = DAsteroid_planet_frag_small1
count = 20
placement_radius = 150.000000
placement_offset = 90.000000
max_velocity = 40.000000
max_angular_velocity = 3.000000
color_shift = 1.000000, 1.000000, 1.000000

Nagano Field

[DynamicAsteroids]
asteroid = DAsteroid_silver
count = 20
placement_radius = 150.000000
placement_offset = 90.000000
max_velocity = 15.000000
max_angular_velocity = 2.000000
color_shift = 1.000000, 1.000000, 1.000000

Dublin Field

[DynamicAsteroids]
asteroid = DAsteroid_gold
count = 20
placement_radius = 150.000000
placement_offset = 90.000000
max_velocity = 15.000000
max_angular_velocity = 3.000000
color_shift = 1.000000, 1.000000, 1.000000

To further the case that this is probably an error, every asteroid field with a DynamicAsteroids section in Alberta has this value, so it was probably the result of a copy-paste. Going even further, there are only 10 files in the entire ASTEROIDS folder that have a value of 40 for max_velocity, only two of which are mining fields (the other being the field in Picardy) and three of which are in Alberta alone. Now, compare this to the 240 files that have a max_velocity of 15 in the folder.

I'm not saying this is why mining in that field sucks, but I am pretty sure it is.
