A collection of errors and bugs

3.2
Still can start Comms with a ship out of range, shortcut ("c") doesn't work, but the button at ship details does.

=========================
3.2
Loaded a savegame, one of the ships is listed as at Empty Space although it floats next to the station at the known zone. Fixed itself once added the ship to my squad and came close to it, or maybe once triggered the menu options at desired order, who knows.

3.0
Have seen completely inactive hostile ships a few times and I've played for a few hours max so that is exactly a few times too much. Ships are likely to be the ones created by some kinds of location triggers all the times, but can't say for sure. No offense to pacifists intended, I shall change the video title.

=========================
3.0
Don't mind the video title, I have no idea how you implemented the gravity but the bug is easiest to describe as if the gravity was a sum of vectors towards station and skunk cores. In case it's not clear - I was trying to reach the quest marker the whole time by moving forward, aside or anywhere at all. Luckily was resolved by reload, exiting station didn't help though.

Head changing size during dialog, might be messed up breath animation or something like that, I was terrified to much to try to research

Bugged NPC poses. Did I mention that the names are very hard to read due to the font size and color ?

Ever wondered how far away you can fly ? Just die while undocking and you'll get to a far far away nothing (ignore the fact that last proper autosave was made two hours ago, be happy there are a few of them and enjoy unique beauty):

Ship flying through stations (happened with the same ship and CV before):

=========================

Cargo-drone can't be selected or hit with a ship when it exited from CV:

=========================

First the ship looked completely fine, as if it was new, with 13% of "health", then its central section disappeared (became invisible I was able to fly through the are w/o collisions), then it stucked traiding with nil/nil/nil so I went to another "zone" and returned when it reported a finished trade. After that some parts of the ship were smoking and the center part finally appeared looking as it is already destroyed. The engineer onboard can't be bothered. He has an original 5 stars engineering rank, 50 construction drones to use and still doing nothing. Can't tell him to repair the ship for credits or even to move his ass away.

=========================

Another glorious quest of escort was interrupted when Skunk got trapped inside station of AES, who appeared to be his allies. Mighty PMC rocket ships saw no problem at shooting the walls and accidentally some trading ships waiting at queue. And that is how a small war of NPC began:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HObVrdw1 ... e=youtu.be

It all started at a regular PMC & AES sector where a brave Skunk completed 100% normal quest to destroy an epic Arawn as well as a smaller carrier. Nevermind Arawn destroying some stations while devious Skunk was sitting between engines at a warming flame of single turret (missile launcher really) that could reach him. Everybody knows that rear part of the hull is critical, one of the best ways to destroy the best carrier is to fly still and shoot the same spot with two weapons (switching them of course, nobody fires two weapons at the same time, that is insane!). Once in a while interceptors a flying by, may be ignored with no harm or killed for reputation if done during a quest.

Seriously, AI wasn't bright at all, but thanks for fireworks.

=========================

Nice production list ! Want to build stp_pro_missiles_ol or shp_l_liquid_freighter ? No problem:

=========================

But first you need to give your architect some moneys. Must be easy, right ? No:

Nice way to get full amount of credits but zero account at your statistics, must be good for taxes.

Sometimes NPCs won't talk to you, too busy doing nothing:

=========================

Disappointed with a new crew member teleporting to your ship without saying goodbye ? Be fast, cancel cutscene with Esc and click the bastard. If you are fast enough you can even say goodby and click an empty space where he teleported from just in case you forgot something:

Taranis: not enough fuel for that jump
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyp4smEY7T0 (less than a minute long).

My problem is that commander reaction on the order is useless, at least I got insta refund of credits spent on fuel but why purchase failed ? Because the ship doesn't have engines or because some fuel stations (if there are any) are hostile ? I don't know ! Did I hire a 6 years old commander ? Seems like it.
Ok, I kmow that there's already a discussion at forum of possible reasons and workarounds: http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=356773 (by the way, had to use google search to find it, can you maybe embed a google searchbox to make it easier ?) Not that I prefer to visit forum with all the small issues rather than get all required information from the game as at this stage I'm still considering a plot to be at training phase.

Hack drone is untouchable by cap ship turrets
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qv-FvvoxTaY
This might require description. The main ship was placed at turrets dead zone which is close to (rear) engines, probably very close to hull. Once hacking was done (see "Hack drone is untouchable by cap shiP turrets") and the character returned to ship, it was inside.

Hostile NPC ship stuck *inside* station

I've seen this error.

Age restricted by uploader, why?

[Earth Ultimatum IV.]

Use missiles (preferably Crushers) to kill it. Make sure that those missiles land as close to the ship as possible. Explosion damage ignores obstacles.

I've seen this error.

How about your ship being stuck inside another ship ? http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php? ... 80#4328280

I remember the hack drone being damaged the first time it had to be used, although there were a few fighters except turrets. I'm not sure though if turrets were dealing any damage, probably not: too many hit sounds for a little drone. Very much hoping that is not intended.

maybe I should make the video public to link it for everyone complaining we can only fly in one ship

Hi welcome to the forum, if you are reporting bugs or problems with the game please do so in the relevant section of the forum. Will be a good idea to post all your issues together, as I don't want to get a warning for spamming the forum.

[SPzzz]

Age restricted by uploader, why?

because I'm lazy to check the game ratings and target audience is mature anyway.

Hey, thanks, mind linking the right branch ? I'll then merge the posts and remove "spam".

Think this is intended to allow early capship captures.
Or ES is just checking if current player base considers this a bug or not

Well I sold most of them to get some early moneys and you'll need a lot to clear all targets. Even if you do capture the ship from inside, you'll likely still be inside and then what, add it to group and play a happy trader forever ?

Press LMB to win. Oh wait, it must be a keyboard key because there's no way to use three additional mouse buttons (on a very common 5 buttons mouse).

Yet another time got teleported to only devs know where. Got moved while was at trading menu behind hostile freighter.
