Bug in Zyarth's coffin

Post by CobraGuru » Wed, 7. Apr 21, 00:32

I started the scenario Split Vendetta scenario Fires of Defeat a long time ago.
I finished the first mission then went to build stations, do many other things.

Then when I met the court of curbs, decide to side with them.

Now, I'm at the Zyarth's coffin mission.
Flying in the rigged Boa I have to land in a Zyarth station with camouflage on.
BIG problem
While I was landing, suddenly the camouflage disappeared and the station shooted me and destroyed the ship. wtf ! Simply because an allied ship is flying around !

During the flight from the starting station to the Zyarth's one, the camouflage was already switching from on to off, then on again, each time the ship cross an allied ship or station and went back to on for Zyarth ship.

But now I can't finish the mission.

There is already argon station in Zyarth dominion sectors, so How am I supposed to keep playing seriously ?

Could you fix please

I guess that would be part of the observation, route choice and good timing you need to apply when deciding when and how to approach the station.

If you are asking how to reattempt the mission now (assuming you cannot just reload an earlier save) then that is a question I could put to the devs for you.

The ZYA cover should activate if ZYA is nearby and deactivate if it isn't anymore.

Did you get shot down by the target station while trying to land there? That does sound wrong. Do you have a savegame where this is reproducible?

The 3 times I tried the mission, I was undercover while asking to dock.
Then I start the procedure and was close of the ground, but a small "allied faction" ship fly by the station or request to dock also (dunno exactly), the camouflage went off and the station start to shoot me.
Each time at the same moment I got down :(

This is really frustrating. 2-3 more seconds and I was docked :/

A small ship shouldn't interfere like this with this mission when the Boa is about to dock

Yes, this is not the expected behaviour.

Can you provide a save game where this is happening? Any free file hoster works, i.e. dropbox.

Works either way, compressed is quicker to up/download. :)

I know this is a late response hope someone sees it, I can't even get the boa. still waiting for Yu't Knk to contact me. am I missing something? I too took my time and did a lot of stuff before givng Dal that large amount of money needed to progress.

the original trade station you helped take over has been destroyed and won't rebuild. is this the problem?

@ bassettcorp: Yours is not the issue that is the topic of this thread so please start your own thread and provide the background information to assist the devs.

Hello everyone, sorry for reviving the thread, but I've got the same bug as OP.
As I approach the station, the cover activates at around 25km just as planned.
But if I get near the landing pad, the cover blows :gruebel:

Dunno what to do, I gave those damn Curbs almost all my money :rant: :evil:

@ shortfried: What you could do is read the replies the devs already made above in this old thread and then help them to help you by starting a new thread for this game version and supplying all the requested information for Tech Sp - most especially in this case with a link to a vanilla save that shows the issue happening or about to happen.
