Bug - Ship Not Rendered to Map

Post by brekehan »

Occasionally some of my ships just stop getting rendered. I've seen enemy ships disappear as well, even when I am right on top of them. Something is wrong.

The Vulture Sentinel in the video was tucked into the station's internal storage, that's why the icon doesn't show on the map. I'd say the problem is that there's no other indication of that fact, and that the double click doesn't center the view on that station, but some seemingly random point instead.

Other ships render on the map when they are docked though...
And the Sentinel renders on the map when docked at other points in time....

When docked, yes, but not when in internal storage.

IMO Player assets should be rendered to the map at all times.
If they are worried about clutter, add a button to ship behavior to hide on map.

Yes, I agree, some clear visual indication should be there.

Internal storage is different than just docked. The platform lowers and another ship docks over the top of you. If that happens the map icon disappears. I try not to leave my M ships parked at small 1M6S docks for that reason. If you don't yet have teleportation that can be a bit of a juggle to get out of. Always have a relief pilot!
