SPEC Capacitors SVN 13248
Buying or selling SPEC capacitors in a base does not seem to update the warp capacitor bank storage value. After a short flight and landing at another base it seemed to update, but after buying a new SPEC capacitor it failed to update again.

trunk
edit: both actually, so i guess the problem is steming from the trunk

Re: SPEC Capacitors SVN 13248
The way to reproduce:
- Visit any base/planet and buy a non-milspec ship.
- Look at stats.
- Sell its warp cap.
- Look at stats. Warp capacitance decreased.
- Buy the warp cap back.
- Look at stats. Warp capacitance is not increased (unless you have "simulation while docking" turned on).
- Leave station, wait until warp energy bar noticeably replenishes (with speccap-1 and shield-1 on reactor-1 it's not that slow) and re-dock.
- Look at stats. Warp cap increased.

Interesting.. wonder how long its been screwy then.
We shall send a trained monkey to create a patch and pray by the seat of our pants that it works.
Knowing more or less where the naughty code is should make this easier to fix. Good catch!

I found out by starting a new game. When you sell the capacitor on the llama, the value doesn't go down.

Quirky. So it only goes down when you buy a new ship? That just seems... odd.

Re: SPEC Capacitors SVN 13248
shouldn't there be a function in there to find max energy? how does it determine how much of the spec energy bar it needs to fill on the interface when you are flying?

Maybe, but it's done simply by reading the field maxwarpenergy itself.Hicks wrote:shouldn't there be a function in there to find max energy? how does it determine how much of the spec energy bar it needs to fill on the interface when you are flying?
Warp gauge shows ->WarpEnergyData(), which if maxwarpenergy>0 is warpenergy/maxwarpenergy, otherwise if jump.energy > 0, warpenergy/jump.energy, and failed that, 0.
