Updates to base functionality

[SummerMcLovin]

Confirmed, NPC's set off the shield and another problem. Base Defensemode 1 (Hostile to all not on the green list) doesn't work. Ships not on the access list are treated as white, and even shooting the base does not activate platforms.

Get into O-49 while you still can everyone!

In all seriousness, those who rely on platforms are more susceptible to sieges until this is fixed.

Have you set an affiliation for the base? This overrides the hostile list -- although I might change this.

NPCs setting off the shield has been that way for ages.

Have you set an affiliation for the base?

No, no affiliation has been set yet because no one answered the questions about the black list. Also it was shown as an option and not a requirement.

Does this mean that we now have a black list and can define those specifically hostile?

No.

Thanks for all the rest too! Is the jump drive thing with the jump ending up to 100k from the coordinates a bug or a feature?

Yes although it's probably a maximum of about 60k rather 100k.

No, no affiliation has been set

Thank you, that narrows down the number of potential fault paths.

It works for me. What is the name of your base and the ship that you tested this with?

Base is the Goldern Coin. Ships tested have been a BAF ID'd gunboat, a BIS ID'd eagle and a freelancer ID'd transport. Prior to the update all 3 ships were hostile and the platforms fired in defense mode 1 normally.

Tonight, all 3 ships are white to the station, when fired at the station shield does go up but it remains white, not red. Also, platforms do not fire at the ships. If a platform is continually fired at to the point it is nearly destroyed, that one lone platform turns read and fires just before it dies, the other platforms do nothing.

when will these changes be rolled out for server owners?

Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts... perhaps the fear of a loss of power.

They did not set it off two days ago.

I love you sweet overlord

EDIT: While the anti-fighter/bomber platforms work much better now their range seems to have been reduced to just under 1k. Is that intentional, a bug, or just me remembering incorrectly?

EDIT2: After doing some research, the BS solaris and battle razor have ranges of 1800m and 1500m respectively, so it seems like the current turret's range is a bit low, unless that's intentional?

EDIT3: After that restart just now they seem to be working perfectly with expected ranges. Thank you!

As you already know - but for other people - this problem is fixed now.

I've done more research into this -- it does suppress shots by NPCs. This hasn't changed.

The problem is that this doesn't always work. This also hasn't changed.
