Dead captain - If you still make it back to the ship, he will get better. If everybody else dies too it is game over.

... at least that is what is supposed to happen

Also: found the asteroid mining space battle bug. As good as fixed

[Maha]

Just found

16 ancient alien bombs inside a wall underground in a unique planet.

Bug or intended?
Also, it seems the square metal rooms that appeared underground sometimes and used to be full of robots are now being generated empty.

[magellan]

They shouldn't be in a wall, but if it was

 a cratered world with tunnels and one tunnel leading deeper 

then they are in the right spot. Hope you have fun turning paradises into lifeless deserts
Also thanks for telling about the robots. Will have to look into that.

Oh, and

 yes, you can teleport through forcefields

[Maha]

Nice, thank you. Yeah, that was the planet. E-mailing you an unrelated bug report, by the way.

[Run Comrades]

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.

0.1.10 is the current version.
Thanks for the bugreports! I have declared this week to be the week of reckless insecticide, and am hoping to make some progress there.
Also: 3000 turns as a pirate is nothing to sneeze at i'd say.

The doctor in the tree planet (called Ted Rofes in my game) seems kinda bugged in general.
First, he's still on the planet and asking to join even after already having joined my crew. Second, when he joined he took over my previous doctor's augments and level, and now he displays level 6 even though he doesn't have the HP for it (only 6 with imp. metabolism), and won't level up anymore.

Looks fun! I'll try it while I wait for the next DF. >.<

I'm pretty sure the planet is random, as is the doctor.
I think the 1st one is a bug, since my science office seemed to work.
The augments are weird.
Level six is not uncommon - he's a rare, high level officer - for some reason I think the game only goes to level 5 or so, so he probably hit the HP/level cap?

[Run Comrades]

Well I just booted up 1.10 for the first time just now.
My game as a pirate captain ended in the old version about ten minutes ago (after around 4.5k turns)...to accidentally not actually refueling on that gas giant like I thought I did.

Oh well, new toys to try out!

I have so far noticed something buggy while playing as a pirate again on 1.10.

This time it looks like when my crew members decide to leave when I go into the bar (which they never actually leave) their level jumps up to five.

It must have been a very good drink they were serving at the bar.

[Run Comrades]

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.

Prospector has gained yet another player.

My first scout ship was lost in 51 turns, when I tried to enter a gas cloud to get to the first star I saw.

Second one got the whole crew cooked in an ammonium geyser. Now I know exotic atmosphere can be pretty bad...

Third one is still alive and kicking, gained several thousands credits from scouting. Found a 100% safe planet with lots of resources, chased off another planet by a giant earthworm. Woot!

[Run Comrades]

On my pirate game still.

I am pretty sure this happened before on a previous game for this version.

I ran into a Cruiser Class ship that was stranded (which is the same class as the pirate cruiser)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

which had those mushrooms with prehensile root systems

.

After running into that ship it seems like I can't find or run into any more merchant convoys. I have been flying around an area that has been filled with them for a while and I don't run into anything.

[kcwong]

I have questions...

1) Can you sell personal equipment?

2) How can you tell if a certain armor/weapon is enough for critters you're going to face, other than from the price tag?

3) How you do use mining robots? I dropped them as the description said, but they never seem to dig up anything, even when I place them right next to some mountain/ore tiles.

I kept over-estimating my crew's personal combat prowess and thus getting them killed (couldn't even kill a sing herbivore lizard that wasn't even fighting back for many turns), so I don't have anyone with better skills. Makes it very difficult to land on rough planets or going through gas clouds.

Edit: Finally my pilot is skill 2, and I've got everyone a personal force field (layered version for captain). Hopefully that's enough for me to run away when I got attacked by critters.

[magellan]

1) No. Actually... guess i am going to add a "buy all" guy somewhere, since a whole bunch of people seem to see this as a critical thing
2) Just pricetag actually. But I guess it would not hurt telling the player the value. Will add that
3) They actually don't do anything while you are on the planet, you have to leave and need to collect them again later. Propably should change that...

That said:
I do hope you know about the (T)actics command?
