Upgrades disappearing

Post by 1muvwndr »

Hello,

I've noticed that some upgrades occasionally disappear from the ship I'm flying. I've seen only three of them disappear, the Freight Scanner, Triplex Scanner and the Transporter Device.
I think it's triggered when jumping with the unfocused jumpdrive more than once in a row. At least that's when I've noticed this happening.


The game is 1.4 with no modifications. If DxDiag is needed I'll post it.

I'm not aware of any problems of this kind. Are you sure they are not just being destroyed when you take hull damage in battle?

Yep, pretty sure of it. And Betty never said anything about equipment being destroyed. Also, it's always the same 3 things that disappear. Never missed anything beside the 3 upgrades.

OK, now I've tested it. Went to Ocracoke's Storm (because it's empty). Used unfocused JD 3 times in a row. The first time I ended in an empty sector. Nothing missing. The second time in a sector with some Xenon 30km away. Again nothing missing. The third time I ended in a sector full of khaak. There I had the shields of my Springblossom reduced to 78% before I jumped out. Missing Triplex Scanner.
2nd try: missing Freight Scanner after the first jump into a Khaak sector. This time I jumped back as soon as I jumped in. 3rd jump and there was the triplex Scanner missing.

That's as intended, I believe.

OK, some more testing: the equipment seems to disappear during the jump itself. I activeated UJD, checked cargo. After reaching an unknown sector checked the cargo again: no Transporter Device.
