Basic Repair and Thrust

Post by Alborn »

Using Privateer Remake 1.2 i have come across the following phenomenon:

Every time i push the Basic Repair button (irrelevant if my Ships damaged or not), my Acceleration Index @ Ship Info drops by 1 !
Accel 3.31 (Centurion) gets 3.30, 3.29, 3.28 ... you get the idea.

Is this a known bug?

very strange! we'll have to look into it for sure

you know what the index is for a default ship of that class? does it go down? or did you get some uuuuuuuuupgrade or repair droid that boosted it unnaturally

If the ship was damaged in the first place, I'd call it a feature :p after all, you can only fix a piece of equipment so many times before it wears out....

Test Ship (RF enabled)
refurbished (Stock) Centurion reads 3.10 Thrust.
Installing the Mult Thrust Enhancer pushes the value to 3.65.
After all upgrades are installed -> 3.31
Hitting Basic Repair ->3.30
Hitting again-> no effect
Changing a few parts via Upgrade Screen ->3.30
then hitting Basic Repair again-> 3.29

It does not happen every push of the button as ist seems, there ist an Advanced Repair Droid installed, but the testship was never in Space.

Saved game and reloaded, pushed Basic Repair-> 3.28
Pushed Basic Repair again->3.28
Saved and Reloaded, pushed Basic repair again->3.27
pushed again->3.27
pushed again->3.27
saved and reloaded->3.27
pushed basic repair->3.27
pushed basic repair->3.26

I haven't pinpointed the reason, but the Basic Repair button seems definitly involed.

The CSV Files are 1.2 untouched. Although the Savegame Folder ist migrated from 1.0 to 1.1 to 1.2.

Note: I bought a new ship to test this. My original Centurion dropped to 2.61 ( all goodies installed ) ... Since a new Centurion got 3.10 and a new Centurion with Thrust Enhancer got 3.65 i began wondering where all this thrust got lost.

maybe somehow the mass changed...
that affects your acceleration I suspect....
