Seedy bars; escorts; combat drones

Post by UK_Eliter »

Three OXP-y things.

(1) My combat drone has said 'help at last!' to me, which makes little sense.

(2) My escorts are still sometimes turning into white (rather than yellow) blips.

(3) I have seen a Seedy-bar craft (a 'Marshall' or what have you) attack its own bar (repeatedly attack it).

I thought that the respective OXP makers might like to know about these things.

From time to time, the criminal masterminds stage a large scale assault on those infamous Hunter hangouts. It results in a particularly hairy and tangled furball, with plenty of chances for friendly-fire incidents.
There's supposed to be code in RH that makes the Hunters and the bar cannoneers forgive friendly fire, but apparently it doesn't always work.

Sounds like something within the trunk handling of the AI - that's a trunk-side message.

On the presumption that it wasn't destroyed, something possibly reset its scan colour blip somehow. I'll need to check how I set that up as to whether it's something that can be secured.

Messages can be suppressed by setting unpiloted = true in shipdata.plist.
