Docking while cloaked

Post by davcefai »

I've stumbled across a sweet little "bug" in Oolite.

If you have offender status you normally cannot use a Docking Computer. However if you are cloaked you can!

Does anybody know if this is a bug?

I can use the DC as an offender*, cloaked or uncloaked - but as a fugitive, it's a no-no either way (running 1.82).


*This may vary according to degree - i.e. numbers.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

It probably is a matter of degree. I had just come off fugitive status and when I checked later I was refused docking while uncloaked and was able to do so cloaked.

Aye! I'm inclined to think that one shouldn't be able to use the DC if cloaked, regardless of legal status.
