Bay 12 Games Forum

Hello! Haven't been here in a while so there are a ton of pages that I have no time to catch up with!

Anyhow a quick search didn't bring it up, though I thought I reported a bug (at least I think it's a bug) about this before.

I've got a really great pirate game going again (always playing pirate, just can't get enough of it!) and I ran into the problem that one of my last good pirate games had.

I'm not sure what's causing it, but all of a sudden there are no merchant lines anywhere to be found. My old hotspots are dead, and I can't seem to find any traffic anywhere.
Well besides maybe .

Has anyone else playing pirates run into this problem?

It's such a bad time too because I finally have my ship upgraded, staffed up, and armed with that I want to give a try with!

One of my hunches is that it has something to do with docking with .

Anyhow I'll send the savefile too, if you want to take a look at it.

Noticed something else about pirate crew member glitches

This time when my pilot and gunner decided to stay at the bar, it shows in my stat window both at the bar and in space (Pi:0  Gu:0) indicating that they have left. (edit: and on the ship status '@' they appear gone)

But when I go into my away team menu, they both still appear on the list, and when walking around planets they are still on my away team status area.  It's still showing ( CPGSD ) even though I have not hired anyone new yet.



edit: oh and in space combat it is definitely acting like my gunner is still with me

Now that's strange.

The thing happening with my officers "leaving" and then their level going up definitely did happen. But it doesn't seem to be happening in this particular play now.

I just had a gunner actually leave, and had to hire another one. Still playing pirate.

edit: okay so the bug happened again where, this time my science officer, decided to stay at the bar on the pirate base. Like before he didn't leave, and when I got to my ship his level was level 5.

I've been playing version 0.1.9 for a few days now (btw is this the most current version?) and have been loving this game.

I've only been playing as a pirate so far, just for kicks. It was a bit hard starting out, but I finally (after a dozen or so failed attempts) have a promising game going (around 3k turns, so still young).

I have noticed a bug playing as a pirate though. I've been trying to search this thread but so far every way I think to search comes up with no results.

The bug is this: I've taken over a merchant vessel I found drifting around that gives me room for redshirts. I noticed thought that in space battles, whenever I shoot a merchant vessel and I kill its crew, my redshirts die instead.

Example, the last battle I fought, I was fully staffed. 5 regular staff, 5 redshirts. I encounter a merchant ship and hit it with my railgun array. Four of their members get killed. I get shot a few times but shields hold. Eventually I destroyed the ship, but when I landed to refuel and whatnot four of my redshirts were dead instead.

edit: I can't be sure, but I think it happens regardless of the type of ship I attack, as long as I kill their crewmen in battle, mine die instead.

Yeah, thanks for the consideration!

I'm mixed up in some other things at the moment. But I might return in the future. In the mean time, I'll stick to lurking and watching behind the scenes.

Sally forth!

sweet!

For what it's worth, I agree!

The viewer is a bit buggy with this version sometimes...so just disregard all the little holes in the ceiling and the random floating blocks!
