NOVA MISSION...Broken?

[MSA-S23]

Hi,

I've got a rating of Deadly, in G4, and have a Gal Hyperdrive.

I go to a system, fuel is gone, get to the station, message comes up, saying help us, etc, etc. But it only says 'Press Space Commander' and when I do, the Comms says 'Coward! You chose not to help the refugees!'

How do I, y'know, help them?

Cheers,

Ash

You were offered no choices? I'm struggling to recall that mission screen, but you should be able to select one of two options.

[MSA-S23]

So, yeah. What do I do?

[ffutures]

I'm wondering if it's a clash with the user interface you have there.

[Cody]

I'm also wondering that - definitely missing the yes/no choice:

Code: Select all

NO = "No, sorry.";
YES = "Okay, I’ll help.";

Try disabling that hud to check, perhaps?

[MSA-S23]

What do I do - OXPs I need to ditch?

First thing I would try is to find out if it works without Xenon UI.

[Cody]

If that doesn't work, please check your Latest.log (found here: ~\Oolite\oolite.app\Logs) for any error messages.

[MSA-S23]

No, thank the Oolite board...

[Cody]

Cool! You should probably post details in the Xenon UI thread (as that may have a bug).

[phkb]

Yep, found bug in Xenon UI. Update coming shortly!

Nice picture... Might be an idea to bring the always white shining suns a bit more variety.

Oolite's star colours do vary slightly (not all are white) - and this is a system gone nova (with Farsun installed):



It only takes 30-40 seconds to burn-up there - and depending on its chart location, it has tactical possibilities.

Ages ago there was a problem with being offered contracts that took you to that system after the nova, but I think it was fixed. The one time it happened to me I managed to forget that the nova system was there (since I'd been through all 8 galaxies again since that mission) so ended up jumping there. Fortunately I had enough fuel left to jump out to the next system on my route, but it would be a problem if the nearest system was more than 3.5 LY away...

Ages ago, there was another way of completing the nova mission - but the Admiralty, in their infinite and unfathomable wisdom, nixed it.
