[BUG] Ships don't use jump gate Albion to Devries

[nico86326]

Okay so I have tried over and over again to get ships in and out of albion and devries.

But for some reason they stop in Auspicious Excavation or Twilight Sentinel and just stop at the gate. Don't go in or out.

Anyone know a fix for this.

Which gate is this in the XML files so I can fix it.

Thanks

I suppose you might say this is "working as intended".

What you will find is that the gate to another sector needs a "jump" by a jump drive. For this to work instantly your ship needs to have access to fuel for their jump drive, otherwise they will complain about it. However, if no fuel is available, they WILL still jump but it will take about 10 minutes to 'charge' the jump drive. So move through the gate, be patient for about 10 minutes, then you will see your ships follow you.

The same goes for if you tell a ship with no jump fuel to trade at another system. They sit there for 10 minutes doing 'nothing' (but in fact they are charging their jump drive) and will eventually disappear with the jump particle effect left behind.

if u have the mod "no jump fuel" installed then they never change sectors

without the mod they need about 15 minutes to change sectors

So WULFF.. you saying this mod causes them not to jump between gates at all? I do have this one installed. So I will uninstall it see if that makes a difference.

As for the fuel jump cells. I would have to go find it. But with out a cargo vessel to jump to Albion sector, this is not possible.

I think wullf is talking about jumping between sectors (by using a jump drive), while OP is talking about traveling between systems (by using a jump gate).

i cannot tell you why your ships are not going through the gate. i can tell you though, that if i give a ship a "take me to" order to another system, it does go thorugh the jump gate for me. so, it is/should be possible.

Yea Pilakin, I was talking about the jump gate that is in Auspicious Excavation that leads to Devries.

For some reason my ships don't go through it at all.

All the ships are at 100% health and have fuel cells for the jump drives. But the jump to the sector in Devries where the gate is (right next to the gate), but don't go any farther. I have waited up to two hours for them to go through with no results.

I know the jump gates (old Reunion/AP style) are all coded in the XML's, just need to know which one that one is so that I can see if it is enabled or not. I would assume it is since I have no problem taking the skunk back and forth through it

Huh, that is odd. I've been ferrying stolen Rahanas' from Albion through the gate today, and it works.

What I have been doing is adding my newly stolen ship to my squad, docking, and using 'take me to..' and picking a sector on the other side of the gate. They take me through fine. It then heads to the jump beacon on the other side and jumps to its final destination.

I haven't tried any other method though.

Oh a related bug, I believe NPC won't trade across sectors or atleast I have not witnessed them doing it yet, but at this point it is one of many trade bugs.

Mopy.. Are you hacking the ships before boarding, or taking out jump drives and engines.

I have been doing the jump drives and engines and then selected targets. But if I do that the ships have no jump drives. Which means they can't jump. But even my ships that I had manufactured in devries, won't jump me through the gate to albion.
