Is Boarding Bugged Too?

Post by Slamdance_Kozmopolis »

So, I just got an assassination mission for some 3-eyed loser in a Hermes Sentinel. He bailed, so I destroyed his escape pod and went to claim my bonus freighter. I right click on the ship and choose claim. A boarding pod launches, but it is just circling the ship. Shields are gone, why won't my marines board?

On the bright side, I did need to free up some space for passenger missions. If that marine won't board, he's gonna have a long walk home! :twisted:

If you fly away until he becomes OOS he should get in. It's just the pathfinding can't figure out how to approach the ship.

Hey, that worked great!

So, do you need to go OOS for Combat Boarding too? Because that doesn't seem practical... :?

It is unfortunately one of the great many bugs that should never have made it to release in the first place XD.


It really comes down to luck, sometime your pod will manage to line up with the ship, other times it will circle until you go oos (at which point, the out of system algorithm kick in and 3d position do not matter much anymore).

I love x4, but at the same time, id have loved it more if i didnt buy it thinking i was buying a released game. This is at best, early access quality.
