1.50 Can't teleport to factions stations anymore, +22 rep - WAI

[Airc777]

Updated to 1.50, played for several hours before first noticing the bug, not sure what the cause is. I currently have +22 rep with Antigone and all teleportation research completed and I can't teleport to any Antigone station. Right clicking on station in the map screen does not display option to teleport. It's only happening with Antigone right now, all other stations are fine. Tried saving and reloading, had no effect. Tried flying to and docking to the stations, worked fine, still can't teleport.

Same here, the change notes seem to suggest you should still be able to port to allied stations:

o Fixed being able to teleport to stations that are not player-owned or allied.

So not very well tested, appreciate the quick turn around on all these patches but a bit more QA may not go amiss.

I think they consider you allied when you rise to +25 and above, at least from what I've noticed when looking at faction ally lists in the encyclopedia

So this is a feature and not a bug then? I know I was able to do this before the patch because I had been teleporting to and from Antigone faction rep to buy blueprints for things like the field coil module. +25 might be the case because I've double checked and I actually can't teleport to any factions stations anymore other then Argon who I'm at +27 with. If that's the case then I'm going to buy a few Elites and park them in the stations at the faction reps. Feature be damned, I will spend 15 million to have access to the faction reps at all times.

Well at least you cannot teleport to hostile stations such the Xenon wharf any more. Look on the bright side!

Correct, it was a bug that we were able to teleport to any station before 1.5, the teleport was meant to only allow us to teleport to our own property and to people that consider us to be allies.

Still that is odd, because you are supposed to be ally at 20, not 25.

[Reece1486]

What one is it then guys are you allies at 20 or 25 , does anyone know ? (would of been nice to have been told this instead of making a new game ffs )

Nice idea for a workaround, would still be awesome for the bug to get fixed though. Sucks to have to waste a ship just to be able to get to places quickly for just a quick visit. Teleporting to stations was just fine as it was before the 1.50 patch.

Not much of a bright side really. Wow what an improvement, I can't teleport to stations anymore that I'd have never considered teleporting to in the first place, not to mention at which you wouldn't find anything to do anyway in the first place (according to everything I read anyway), so teleporting there would be a pointless for the lulz endeavor in the first place.
Really a severe bug that requires immediate fixing though, whereas not being able to complete missions that are part of the game can be ignored

Correct, it was a bug that we were able to teleport to any station before 1.5, the teleport was meant to only allow us to teleport to our own property and to people that consider us to be allies.

Right now it seems to be at +25 when you are added to their list of allies when you check the encyclopedia entries, below that you don't show up on their lists. This becomes very noticable because at +25 that is also when you're able to see where allied faction ships are going/doing in addition to your own. I realized this the other day when I was trying to figure out what was going on xD

[Geek]

So, I am *Hero of the Argon Federation* when I reach +20 yet I am not an ally ?
That is not consistent.

[mrtus]

Yeah, its kind of weird thinking about it. Maybe it is meant to become an ally at +20 and was mistakenly put in as +25 esp since there's not even a rank reward for 25/indication that goes off for it.

[prastagus2]

With the update to 1.5, somehow I couldn't teleport to NPC stations anymore. I can still teleport to my own though.
Is that intended or a bug?

[wilsonlaizo]

Intended. It's in the patch notes.
"• Fixed being able to teleport to stations that are not player-owned or allied."

You need to have +30 Rep to be able to teleport to other people stations now

[Alan Phipps]

Others have said you need +25 rep.

EDIT: A Dev confirmed the intent was +27.

[Buzz2005]

and I say 27:D, and I could swear that I read from a dev its 27+, cant find the name now anymore it was those yellow usernames for sure

[Alan Phipps]

OK, I'll give you that one. A chat just now with a dev confirmed that the intent was that both teleporting to allied stations and seeing allied shipping orders was at the intended ally rep minimum threshold of +27. Hence not a trivial level of rep to be achieved.

[Buzz2005]

now it makes sense that it takes 10 minutes to research

[XGamer]

Dunno why you would want to limit players artificially for most of the stations except a very few after like several hundred hours in a single save and ruin a nice mechanic but anyway...
Guess it's time to waste a few million and plaster the universe with ships docked at key stations so you can teleport.

[Buzz2005]

you should have S ships in every sector just on revisit known stations, people just spam satellites that you dont need that much

I have most sectors just 1 satellite and persius on default update trade prices, I can always teleport and easy training of pilots
