1.69b and asteriod OXP

Post by cade »

Just completed the asteroid mission from the OXP, using 1.69b test version.

No room for the reward bomb, and my credits were completely wiped!

:shock:

Thats gratitude for you! Save the space station, and they take all your money in docking fees to help rebuild it.

:D

That’s what you get for using out-of-date test versions. Don’t do it again. ;-)

(Seriously, though, this is a known bug that was fixed in 1.69.1.)

sorry for your loss. i suppose that in this case it wouldn't be out of order to poke in your character file and "restore" the lost money. ^^

Normally I'm against fiddling with the inner workings, but there seems some justification for hacking back your credits as it is a bug that caused your loss. I'll just look the other way for a few moments :wink:

I've added a few, (less than I had!) but I still have a hold full of Gems and Gold.

Just looking for that one big payoff

now there's an idea for an oxp. perhaps some mining based deal. too bad we can't have derelict ships that we can tow in for loot. or can we?

What derelict ships? Everything that goes 'derelict' on me has the tendency to break apart into alloys and cargo canisters...

'Break apart'? I think your application of a Military Laser helps on that score....:D

Maybe it could be possible to dock with a derelict Anaconda? You could find yourself at a "trading screen" where everything's free, free, free!

Quite possible. However, it would depend on your ship...

for example the cobra is 130 meters wide, while the Anaconda is only 70 meters wide... if you go by the wiki... so to dock would be impossible in that case...

Just to make this more complex.. A boa or a Boa Class Cruiser, could prolly dock because of its pointy stern... that would hit the "docking area" of the anaconda... on that note, an anaconda could prolly dock with another anaconda.. :D

I know, i tested it, during development of the Keelback.. which i have not released yet due to current Oolite Collision Calculation "simulation" troubles.

but anything wider than say 65 meters would have hard time docking with an Anaconda

Could you have an invisible docking bay outside but touching the Anaconda, thereby effectively providing external docking?

Not sure how to go about this... since i cant make anything invisible, i could make a very small face though, make it dark... so it will not lit up, however, it is going to be interesting what happens to AI ships that hits this face, while not in docking mode.

Would it have to dock? why not "attach" itself and walk through a mini docking hatch to inspect inside like in Alien

maybe this could wind up over in the scripting thread... an alteration that allows ship-ship docking under certain conditions. say, like when the police start hunting you down, or when a ship is derelict, or for handing off a certain sensitive cargo during an oxp or something.

in the case of the police, if you should happen to quietly pull over and allow them to dock, you get jumped to the nearest docking facility (or astro-prison, depending), fined, and then turned loose.

in the case of the derelict ship, the cargo screen would work, that or custom screens like in that one 'wander-the-station' oxp.

an oxp specific thing, would be case-by-case. just some thoughts! =D
