planet vanishing!

Post by Arexack_Heretic »

I didnt do it, honest!

Or maybe I did. :oops:

Was testing the cargo awarding 'a free missile!', these do not check whether the player has maxed missiles, thusly I scooped 10 or so containers of the battle weapons.

Now the planet is not where it is supposed to be according to the compass.
Nor anywhere else either.
:shock:

After a quick battle with a rogue python-pilot, the planet is back.
weird. I couldnt have missed it where it is, right next to the sun.

just had it again. for a few seconds.

I just killed a ship near the WP.
paused to write a reply in the Wrex-thread.
returned to scoop the spoils.
turned towards the planet using the compass. gone.

then a ship-blip showed up. and the planet popped back into existence.

Probably a smallish rendering bug associated with switching screens.

My guinea pigs cherished customers should not worry. The new improved formula with less evil tree snake should cure members of any space faring species from seeing spots without (re)moving existing spots like planets.
