6.0 [BUG] Ion Pulse Railgun can't hit lockboxes

Post by LennStar »

at least if you sit in the Boron start Flying Fish. The shot just goes through.

Anyone else or just me?

Don't tell me those lockboxes are civilian ships that have cloaked themselves? Because there are still some of them that can also not be hit. Strongest ship in game: tour bus! :lol:

We're not going to be able to look into this without more information. A screenshot or video would be a start, but a savegame would be better.

Note that this kind of problem usually just turns out to be that the player's ship is too close to the lockbox and the guns too far apart to be able to target on something that close.

railguns have a narrow vector, by being too close to a target its not possible to hit it because the weapon can simply not "move" enough.
get a bit back then its possible to hit lockboxes

Okay, got to try it again adn true. You have to be so far away that you can barely see the locks. :(

I observed the same with the construction depots. The shots just go through the red part, only certain areas can be hit. And no, I am too lazy for a save file. Debug that yourself.
