2.0 - BUG - Stations not being revealed by ships

Post by Scoob »

Hey all,

I gave a ship of mine order to move to all "?" locations in various sectors my earlier Long Range Scans had revealed. However, checking on its progress just now, I can see that it's uncovered the hex's in the areas explored as expected, but all stations remain an "?" on the map, so I cannot tell what they are.

I know I could drop a Nav Sat to reveal what's there, but that's not the point. I simply wanted to reveal the stations then decide whether I wanted to place a Nav Sat.

Note: if I watch the ship remotely as it explores, it doesn't initially reveal the stations either, but they'll pop up after a few minutes. Most odd!

Are others seeing this? This is a fresh, unmodified, 2.0 game start.

Edit: Continuing to watch my ship explore remotely, it sometimes reveals stations it uncovers right away, other times it'll take a few minutes for them to appear. However, everywhere it explored while I wasn't watching remain all "?". Not sure if they'll reveal if I fly to the sector but not fly to the "?" - basically, something to force it to update.

I sometimes have suspected that too, but never had a real proof.

First of all the ? could be mines too, make sure they arent ;)

Second the station could be high or low and your scout not near enough for that altitude vs. it's radar range. That definitely happened once for me.
