Hours of work, wasted!

Post by Jimmy C » Thu, 23. Dec 21, 16:54

I just found out somehow, in the past 4 hours of game time, I misplaced 5 maxed marines. I fear I may have sold the ship they were on before transferring them. The latest savegame with them is 4 hours ago. This sucks.

Did they just disappear from the personnel section menu? I hope they weren't the only ones you had. I keep all my marines on my Sirokos, none are combat maxed though.

I had something similarly bad happen when my Elephant full of ships collided with a military outpost and exploded, I didn't notice right away, only when I tried to select my Arrow did I realise something was wrong and checked the message log. Lucky I did have a save available, still lost quite a bit of work.

In regular boarding operations, when there are two targets, I transfer 12 marines from the Kogarasu to Cobra, and then the 5 in the docked Blastclaw P up to the Kogarasu and then the Cobra. After the boarding, I usually directly transfer from the captured ship to the Kogarasu. That's 12 to the Koga, then 5 of those into the BP, then the last five from the captured ship. Somehow, I forgot the last 5.

Was it a ship you sold once you captured it?

Yes it was. I've got all the Pirate and Yaki frigates I want to keep, so I sell the ones I capture on missions. I had several in a roll last night and each mission uses all save slots more than once.

I've managed to buy the pirate ships outright, once I kit them out I'll take a crack at boarding Yaki ones.
