I'm running the latest WinXP version (but with the new exe with the funky planet textures).
Sometimes an enemy ship will become see through. I don't mean it disappears as if it has a cloaking device I mean I can still see it but my lasers and missles can't.
Take a look at this screen grab:
As you can see, the enemy ship is still firing on me (and causing damage) but my missle won't lock on and my lasers just go right through it!
Oh and to get to this stage, I first shot up this craft and I think instead of it blowing up it became indestructible. The first time this happened an escape pod was launched and the ship just carried on flying in a straight line (but didn't change to white on the scanner and it couldn't be blown up after).
Because you're using the experimental textured-planets version it's probably best to email your bug reports to dajt, or report bugs on the oolite-pc berlios site, or in the thread announcing this build in the Oolite-PC area.

I'm seeing this issue a lot myself. With me, it seems to just be more of the ghost ship bug cropping up. It happens for me often when I destroy a ship. I get the bounty, I see an explosion, my targetting computer switches off. But the enemy ship just keeps going. I cannot re-target it, and my shots go right through it. In my case, Slackware Linux, Kernel 2.6.17.7, xorg 6.8.2, Oolite 1.65.

Will do.
The screen shot above is from dajt's exe file but the first time this happened was with the new 1.65 version.

Okay, evidently the ghost-ships are back. There's some debug info you can send me in these situations...
If this happens, pause the game, press '0' and then 'd' then resume the game, try to shoot the ship, pause again press '0' then send me the last few pages of console.log or STDERR.TXT.

I'll do it this weekend. In the meanwhile, I sent you informations as requested here:

Incidently nothing can harm a 'ghost ship' it is not just a targetting or displacement bug.
An energybomb or qbomb leave the perp untouched.
I usually associate this behaviour with escapepods being launched, but not consistently (only with pythons etc).
I just posted a new topic on this (Help with strange Ghost Ship Bug), as I thought it must be somthing to do with the size of the new ships in the Assassins.oxp. I'm running dajit's new exec, but I have only encountered this bug with the massive Cruisers and Deathburger stand in (a destroyable Military station). I've not seen it with any native or other oxp ships. Could the size of the ship be a factor?

Have just experienced it on the Ioinics mission. While hunting and destroying the Ramazan vessels, one (which registered on my radar) survived laser blast after laser blast, three missiles just flew around it and it was immune to an energy bomb.
