Thargoid Cloaking Device?

Post by davcefai »

Have the Thargoids developed a cloaking device? In the last few builds I keep on losing/regaining radar lock on all Thargoid vessels.

Or should I cry BUG?

Sounds as if it might be a bug.

It'd be great if you could provide a savegame & instructions how to replicate it reliably, so the dev team can have a better look! :)

edit: it might be the same bug Commander Mysenses reported elsewhere. If that's the case, try again with the newest source code!

This is a problem that occurs when the thargons become inactive. It causes any ship's (including player's) primary target to be reset. Now fixed in trunk.

I take this opportunity to say thanks to all the guys who give feedback on the status of the development build. All these little bugs that get discovered would have probably made it to the release, but not any more, thanks to your reports. Keep it up.
