[BUG] 1.50 Claim Ship > Boarding Pod flying aimlessly around target

Post by TartarusMarkTwo »

In this save game, I am trying to claim a Peregrine in front of me, but when ever I launch Marines, they simply orbit the ship or stop moving, and do not ever reach the target.

To note, if I leave the sector and go OOS, this does not solve the problem, the boarding pods just disappear from my property.

I manually claimed the ship to make sure this is claimable.

Save game: https://www.dropbox.com/s/p4gqxedilo674 ... ml.gz?dl=0

Edit: I've tried going OOS multiple times, and eventually it worked. But please don't consider this not a bug just because I eventually got this to work. This behavior clearly is as functional as the damn marines standing outside of their pods in space.

This bug has been there from the beginning. Should be known by now.

If you leave your boarding pod behind by flying away wit hthe boarding ship I would expect this.

If you teleport away I would not.

I am guessing you are referring to the former - not the latter.

This was very helpful.

To resolve the issue its like Roger said, you leave the sector so that the models are no longer rendered and this will also sort out the pathing issue for that pod.
I think this can also work if you fly quite some distance away from the ship of course head toward a gate so if the marine has not boarded by then, just pop through the gate.

Saying all this just in case you dont have the teleport yet
