possible extension to the bug

One thing I considered earlier today was that a "mission" might not get offered. I've been in G6 for a while and the UPS mission where a poorly-brainwashed slave wants to get back to Bierbe (or whatever it is) seems to correlate with picking up a cargo pod which gets the message "revo...

it disappears

Hi again. No, the thing vanishes. Funnily enough, the first container I tried to scoop after posting the message did this. So to be clear, there's no sound, no message and the can disappears. Version 1.74.2 on Windows. As for installed oxps, I *think* I didn't get the behaviour until after starting ...

empty cargo container or no "bang" when ramming it

Hi all. I just got this again and finally remembered to post something. Once in a while I fly up to a cargo container and try to scoop it. It looks like it's in the right place to scoop on the screen, I fly over it, it disappears from the scope and there's no "bang" but there's also no mes...

Dodec station with a bounty on it???

I saved a game to show this but on re-load it was all gone. I docked at some dodec station in g6, refuelled, didn't get as far as selling anything, got a Thargoids bug-squash message, launched and so on then hit c to dock while going to the kitchen for a glass of wine (got the beer cooler in the sup...

Great, quick work!

Thanks for having a look! Just a cosmetic thing, at least. Hard to judge whether to bother sending a message sometimes; I get that at work, half the time I feel I'm just being annoying, most of the rest fo the time the software development guys have no idea what's going on, but it's that 10% or so o...

Contract screen bug

I have noticed just recently that I am dropping off passengers (not yet noticed it for cargo) but no "XXX thanks you" screen appears. I end up with an empty passenger berth and I think the contract reputation counter is adjusted (I did a check at one point and it went from 6 completed and ...

Re: I can't kill the pirates! UPS or SuperCobra OXP issue?

Hello Richard, Nice to hear you reached the final kill. There are two types of those stations. The second one is indestructible by laser and missiles. (at least is was at the time when I wrote it as we now have plenty more missiles available). Just fly around a bit more in other systems. I anticipat...

I can't kill the pirates! UPS or SuperCobra OXP issue?

Hi all, thanks for the hard work to make this such a good game. I have a problem, maybe. Got a pirate rock to kill, courtesy of the UPS OXP, I think. All well and good, got to the system before the one where I have to kill the pirate rock and after jumping I just can't kill it. I can fly about, wast...
