Hi! I downloaded the stable Vega Strike 0.5.0 version from here and started playing a few days ago. I was getting the hang of cargo trading and in fact found a VERY lucrative market for entertainment products with a gas mine in the Stirling system, when, lo and behold, I loaded my game and my cashcow that is the gas mine is GONE! There is a non-existent (?!) base that I can target using the "Target Natural" (N) command but I cannot go/dock into, it says "Loading Failed: shmrn" and it has no target image. I cannot make the gas mine come back, no matter what I do: reloaded the game numerous times, tried to leave the system, even two systems away, and come back, lower the resolution to "retro"...but nothing works Also sometimes the Medical Base in the same system disappears too, but sometimes it comes back, and even sometimes there would be 2 medical bases, when I load a game.
Can anyone help me? I want it to come back because its proximity to the Cephlid 17 system with the oceanic planet Atlantis AND with a medical base in the same system makes it one very lucrative customer
My system (an old laptop):
IBM R50e Thinkpad with Celeron 1.6ghz processor
504 MB ram (ouch)
Intel 82582/82855 GM/GME video card with 64MB memory (really ouch)
(AND no, I do not want to hear comments to change my laptop, thank you very much )

Re: Disappearing Gas Mine...where's my cashcow?!
I think it is not really a problem...because I think that starbases in whole universe except fixed systems and system you have saved in are generated randomly every time you start VS and load/start new game for the first time.
And hey, your laptop is not so bad. I have Athlon 2100+ with 512 MB ram and Radeon 9600 128 MB and yet, I am able to play VS on high detail (without shaders tho)

That sounds more like it's not getting the right path for the texture which is odd since it was loading for you at one time.

I've seen quite a few "load failed" in my game too...I think it is related to random generation of objects.

Hmm, ok, thanks guys...anyways I found another gas mine, near also to another oceanic planet AND a commercial center.

It's a big universe so there is always some place else to exploit
