Ship awaiting orders Text sticks..

Post by walkedav »

I'm not sure if that's the right way to describe it. But in 3.00 Beta, when my ships finish a trade at a station (they're all on auto trade), sometimes the message
"so and so is awaiting orders" just sits in the middle of the screen. It go's away if I exit and restart the game. I haven't seen anything in the menus to disable the text but man I would love to shut that off. :/ Any ideas, suggestions or is it just me?

No, isn't just you. But you don't need to exit and restart the game. Is enough to take/leave control of a ship to remove it.

If you're having issues with the Beta, then please report them in the Beta Feedback forum. No need to re-post this there, though, unless you've got a step-by-step way of reproducing it reliably, that might help a devloper track it down.

It seems to only happen if the ship that is automated is between actions AND passes through the same sector I am in. So a freighter is auto trading, he just sold his wares out and he leaves that station to buy more loot, it happens to be a sector I am in so I get the message "xxx-123 Vulture vanguard is awaiting new orders" right in the middle of the screen is decent size white letters. Its never a ship I am in. I will see If I can make a video and share it in the beta forum.

The issue itself with comm text getting stuck on screen has already been reported and AFAIK acknowledged, here. Though I haven't encountered this specific case with trading ships.
