Jump Gates killing ships...

TEA_Cypher · Post by **TEA_Cypher** » Sun, 23. Nov 08, 12:44

I seem to be getting silly numbers of my fighters being killed by Jumpgate when I am in sector almost to the point that its dangerouse for me to fly through a sectors with patrols in them on fear of lossing a ship, in the last day alont it have lost a couple of cutlass'es, skate prototype (which I doudt I will be able to replace) and an eclipse, are other people coming across this problem?

I've seen this happen with third party ships - but not my own as yet.

I was going to start another thread about my issue but since it maybe related I'll just put it in this thread.

Last night I was fighting in a far away sector and decided I would need some assistance from one of my fighter wings docked in Heretic's End. I qued up the command to have 3 rapiers and a spitfire join me. Since I figured it would take them a bit to reach me I engaged the SETA or what ever it's called and went to fix me something to eat. Came back about ten minutes later, checked to see what sector the summoned ships where in and to my surpise they weren't listed in my property screen nor did they ever enter my sector.

"Bermuda Triangle" is not listed in my universe maps so I'm left scratching my head as to what happened to them.

Anyone have this happen before?

I've seen several capital ships get stuck on those stupid arms that stick out from the gates and be destroyed. They should just remove them and have the gates as a flat surface with the superconductors or whatever as little bulbs on the side. Old Old issues which never get resolved unfortunately.

I don't know about your ships, try checking your message log to see how or where they died.

based on what i've seen myself, it seems that the pathing for special (mission/personal etc) ships is slightly broken. basically the "avoid collision" mechanism keeps working even when ships are going through gates or docking. so when the ship is close to the jumpgate it does a crazy evasive maneuver to dodge it, retries and repeats this infinitely, or until it happens to fail it's dodging attempt.

of course, i could be wrong. this doesnt seem to be the case out of sector, for one thing. it could also be a problem limited to certain ships.
