It didn't work for me tonight. Destroyed a pirate and scooped the escape capsule but didn't get any extra bounty. Only slaves to sell.
Its not happened for a while, including insurance payouts.
I'm sure I've seen a setting somewhere where you can turn this feature on and off, but I can't seem to find it (have searched both the wiki and the forum).

Decided to cross-post the solution to the escape capsule problem from the
other thread.:
Eric Walch wrote:LittleBear wrote:I think there was a typo in Neolite Ships (Core) that caused all the pods to be set to unpiloted (so you get slaves rather than a named pilot to rescue / capture). May have been fixed, but check your install.
Yes, that is the most likely cause and also reported before. But it is not a typo. Simon just added something without thinking.
Look inside shipdata for the escape-capsule. Than find the line :"unpiloted = yes;"
Code: Select all
"escape-capsule" =
{
unpiloted = yes;
};
Change yes into no, or simply delete that line. Oolite itself has no definition for it and than it defaults to no. For some reason Simon found it funny to add this line without thinking. But unpiloted means
no pilot in plain english and that is what you get. This was already wrong with neolite and 1.72.

Has anyone told Simon B about it? I think he mentioned he's working on updating neolites.

Yes, yes we have! A while ago, anyways.
He's had his computer crash on him since, plus RL seems to have taken its toll, etc...

I think he said he got a new comp recently, but I guess RL stuff is weighing him down
