Information:
Want to reproduce the bug of the missing turrets that occurs after next modul of the plotstation was finished
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
explanation of the "Station-turret-bug":
During building action of the first station the player has to build within the plotmission occurs a odd bug.
After finishing the ore factory Level 2 the weapon count of the earlier build modules drop down from 93 to 31 weapons.

See screenshots:

93 weapons --> to 31 weapons

I build in this order:
1.baseframe of the factory+Erzfactory
2.Silicon factory Level 1
3.Ore factory Level 2
4.Silicon factory Level 2

I had to repoduce the bug again, because i had no earlier save where the station build beginns. during gameplay to reproduce the Main bug
"station-turret-bug" i have found some other BUGS: please see INDEX.odt or please look at the INDEX below the downloadable content.

Bugs that occurs durring missionplot before i start the station building

engineer status = nothing previous repairing

Bugs during building of the plotstation

4. small bugs at the beginning

Hi guys,

Have nobody else a similar problem or could reproduce this with the given saves?
Don't know what I do wrong, that this problem occurs. Sometimes I have to fly out of the zone because of a mission or building area is locked. It means i can't be everytime near the station. And can't do something again OOS calculation.

I have noticed that during building the second station module, the "fake" traffic was not given anymore.

I`m deeply grateful if somebody can give me a solution or a hint why this all happens. And it seems to be that I'm the only one with this problem?

Hi Zisko,

Yes, I've seen the exact same issue, though because of it I've not tried adding surface elements to stations for many game versions.

In my earlier experience, I'd initially see station surface element counts go UP steadily, with a continued stream of Construction Drones flying between the CV and the Station. Note: at this point the station section in question is complete (bar surface elements) and producing just fine. I assumed that such elements were added slowly over time after main construction.

Anyway leaving the Zone and returning would see my surface element count go down. Staying in Zone would sometime see it creep up again, but it was basically screwed from that point forward.

So, this is why i NEVER add surface elements to stations & have a cap ship patrolling instead. Plus I don't want my station shooting its self up ans the AI ones are often seen doing.

Cheers,

Scoob.

In the save game xml, the build state gets stuck on "collapsed|constructing", changing it to collapsed means you get all your guns on you station back.

The devs should be aware of this bug, it has been around since 1.0 and has been reported many times.

Thank you all for reply.

@Helian, sorry didn't see your Topic and I have to admit, that i didn't search rigorous. I spoke with egosimon and some other users in the ego.-chat, they say the bug is really weird. Because of this, I thought its a rare bug

And the I posted this Bugreport in the "Public beta forum" before, but it was moved

. Know i understand why.^^

And @all, thank you for your understanding, my english is not really good and have some syntax and grama problems too, it helps to write with you in english.

@werewolves? Thank you very much, will edit the savegame later, but had much other stuff to do at the moment ;(.
