If you are on a Mac with a G4/G5 CPU -> https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?t= ... ght=robbed
Maybe it's related to your thingie, several oxps are still storing values as floats .-)

This was a specific bug with Oolite 1.72.x but was fixed in the last update. Other versions should be problem free.

Looking at the oxp list I don't notice a suspected oxp that could add a pod that deliberate (with a script) robs the player.

Maybe dazer1 is just fined for being offender or even has "docking clearance" enabled. I have it on for a few weeks now and it already has cost me a few 10.000 credits. Unauthorised dockings are then fined with 5% of your credits with a maximum of 5000. (For me that always ends up with 5000 Cr. for each unauthorised docking)

docking clearance however is not likely the problem as that needs editing some oolite data or adding a special oxp that is not on the above list. But normal fining could still be a cause as the message is sometimes overlooked.

esccape capsules problem

Post by dazer1 »

I am running windows vista home premium.what do you mean by unauthorised docking ? i have never seen any messages about this .and when docking i use the c key.if its supposed to be 5% well it carnt count as sometimes it takes thousands much more than 5000 cr. can you get fined for shooting escape capsules coz since ive had this problem i have been shooting them. coz there a pain in my credits when i pick them up. this is giving me space sickness and when i shut my eyes i see spinning planets aaarrrrhhhhh.
