Explain this...

[Violette]

In Alaska today in my Atlantis Carrier the LNS-Vancouver when I docked at Juneau after a few Nommies and Order killed, and one player AI ship, and this happened:




The bots and bats need repairing now?

Notice how in the second and third screenies, they don't have health or cash value.

I sold and re-bought, so no real problem.

Just reporting it to you guys....


Anyone know why this happens?

You tractored in some bots/bats that had recieved damage while floating in space. Most likely from explosives.

I don't think that's true. Freelancer can distinguish the difference between individual items, it doesn't group each of them as 'one'. Otherwise decaying commodites would all die at once instead of one at a time.

But I'll test this, see if it is the case or not.

Mmk, tested it. It seems when you tractor in a damaged bot, it spreads the damage out evenly across all your bots. I shot two bots down to nearly destroyed, then tractored them all in and ejected the 10 bots I had individually, and they all had a small amount of damage.

Around week ago, my friend find his mines after death in duel, and mines was 80% damaged.

Hmm, interesting... Can they still be used? Do they still repair the same?
