[3.10] Security Control Panel *still* missing from stations

Post by FutileSine »

Edit: Looks like terminals don't highlight if you are missing the required item (design choice) and I have the similarly named Bypass item, not the Decryption item.

Just user error combined with poor interface/interaction choices

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Took the mission "Cannot See, Cannot Scan" which asks you to hack the Security Control Panel on HAT SpaceFuel Factory I. As you can probably surmise from the title, the mission can't be completed as the only selectable terminal in the Security Office is the Turret Control Panel.

Either remove these missions, or ensure all terminals are consistently selectable. Attempting to return to this game while stuck at home, starting a new save, and immediately hitting a bug on an almost year+ old issue (missing security panels) is pretty painful. Especially after purchasing the expansion and continuing to support Egosoft. :|

Steps Taken To Try And Workaround:
Hack the Turret control Panel (which btw still uses the Security Slicer)
Reload before accepting the mission and retaking it
Restarting the game and reloading the save on the space station at question.
Flying away and flying back.

The mission guidance works, takes you to the right place. Just no terminal to activate.

A Security Control Panel is hacked with a Security Decryption System, that mission's briefing tells you as much. And that's the one item that you don't have on you in that save. You've a Security Bypass System and a Security Slicer, but no Security Decryption System. Such similar nomenclature is, IMHO, a bad design choice, but it is what it is.

I posted about this quite some time ago, can't find the thread now. When you don't have the item required for hacking a particular terminal, that terminal wouldn't even highlight. Which is easy to mistake for it not being there, or mission not proceeding correctly. IMHO, a change should be made so that the terminal would still highlight, but inform you about lack of required equipment.

Thanks radcapricorn - I'll try and go grind up the materials needed for the mission and confirm. :) Agree that the terminals should highlight no matter what, so you can at least know about what you are missing - and thanks for looking at the save!
