[1.2 EN] Return Abandoned Ship Job (Gameplay)

Post by em3e3 » Sat, 18. Oct 08, 23:51

Version 1.2 English, Steam version, nod scripts/mods.

At the point in the plot using the Terran-start, when I was instructed to go to Heretic's End. After entering, took a job from the Wheat farm in the south. Difficulty was Trivial, time to complete was 3+ hours. Needed to retrieve a Paranid Pegasus from Saturn. Went and found the ship, repaired it, commanded it to dock at the Wheat Farm in Heretic's End (HE), it went off, traveling at 88m/s. I went on ahead, to continue the plot.

After docking at the Argon Trading Station in HE, I contacted the person at the Terran station in the sector, accepted the mission, began flying south. After reaching the next sector, with about 2 hours and 20 minutes left to complete the Abandoned ship job, I received a message that I failed it because I did not return the ship in time.

Restarted from an earlier save, repeated the steps, same result. No other jobs or missions at the time, other than the plot.

If anyone wants to see this problem for themselves, I've uploaded a gamesave. No matter what I do, the mission fails with 2 hours 18 minutes left to complete.

I've taken other 'return ship' jobs since, and they seem to be working.

tryed not to fix it and returned as it was? :P

Also on one of those missions I get a message when the ship docks asking if I want to relinquish ownership of the ship I say yes and the mission gets done.

It sounds like the ship was destroyed for some reason.

First time, I merely repaired the ship, and sent it on it's way at 88m/s. Mission failed by the time it got to the middle of the Asteroid Belt sector.

Second time, I sent the ship to the shipyard in Saturn, boosted it's speed with engine upgrades, almost got the jumpgate to HE, mission failed again.

Final try, I souped up the ship and flew it myself. Still, mission fails with 2 hours 18 minutes left.

And no, the ship didn't get destroyed, or else I would have noticed while I was flying! I ended up just sending the ship to the shipyard in Saturn, waited for the mission failure (at 2:18 left), and then sold the ship.
