Nav map bug & other minor (?) bugs

Post by luizfuryo »

Hi Again

I was going from Sol system to Hellskichen, a 2-jump trip via Enyo system, if my memory doesn't fail me (not playng now) when I could not jump to Enyo either becouse 1) the jump point is not there or 2) it has a wrong name - I noticed there were TWO jump points to alpha centeuri (or such). Also: I was going head to head with a pirate and, with still two thirds (or just a little less) of my front shields heard the nice sound of my armor being hit! The pirate was destroyed but my front armor was therefore reduced (yellowish-orange in the damage display). Question: Do the &%#$&%$pirates have a gun that bypass my hard earned level 3 shields or is it a bug?

AND...

Some ship upgrades seem to serve to no purpose, like those multi-thruster engines - when bought and installed they don't make any difference in the ship's speed or performance.

After some time, no matter what kind of ship I buy, it seems I'm unable to eqquip them with medium guns

And, as I'm sure you know, some ships when targeted lack a hud representation, and some ships are plainly invisible (they don't have a representation in space!). And some planets lack a screen - sorry to point that, it's only I can hardly wait to view the game more polished, and I'd like to mention that it is a very ambitious project to emprehend. Good luck !

AND AGAIN . . .

Sometimes , when I'm in a system rich in factories/shipyards, exit the game and load some time after, the factories and shipyards simply disappear! It's very frustrating, mainly when you've planned to stablish an ore trading route.

I was in a sector rich in asteroids - Pentonville - and heard some privateer shooting like crazy - I think he was shooting the asteroids for mining, becouse my HUD radar begun to show MANY MANY brown points. Apart from the fact that I could HEAR the shots (which is mentioned in some other topic in this forum) the annoying thing that happened was that my frame rate slowed down to 3-5 per second!

And the asteroids in Pentonville behave like a band of swirlling hammerhead sharks circling a wounded blue whale! I have not entered the main plot yet, but I think that that will leave the Tayla missions veeeery difficult...

And PLEASE, would someone drop me a few lines to let me know if there's a weapon that bypasses the shields like I've seen? (down his knees, hands clinched - what a miserable sight...)

Some weapons do bypass shields -- milspec torpedos, the antimatter gun, the steltek gun, and in a sense the leech missile.
