Courteous ordinance.

I fired a missile at a distant Python during some heavy combat and later got around to shooting the said Python only to get a "thank you" message from my missile.

That's more than you get from most GalCop law enforcers

Sentient missiles are sort of scary. However, I've been thanked by the Police once or twice. If only they knew...

That is hilarious! A grateful, polite missile.

BTW, I have often been thanked by cops when I "help them out". (Really, I am just trying to steal their kills to rack up more creds and increase my rating.)

Yup, it happened again

The missile thing is a known bug; I think Giles has said the fix will be part of the “character” code that’s currently part-done.

Yeah. I'm working on it. Got to remember some things should not have crews!

Aw. I rather like it.

I think the courteous missiles should stay.

But when the missiles start to say, "You're endangering the mission, Dave", and, "I'm sorry, Dave. I can't do that", then I will start to get concerned.

Especially since my name isn't Dave.

As long as they don't quote Space Corps directives, I think we'll be fine

I LOVE THAT! Where do you get these? If the missiles keep talking, or talk moer, I'd be happy.

It's not something you GET. It is technically a bug.

As the first post in this thread states, it is something that can happen when you fire a missile, and then destroy the targetted ship before the laser gets to it. (I have never done this myself.) It is apparently a "bug" caused by code intended to make ships thank you when you help them in a fight.

I meant the ordinances.

Commodore Sics D'fore · Fri Jun 30, 2006 10:10 pm

"Ordinance" is just another term for missile. It's the military term. These are just ordinary missiles we are talking about.

I mean Directives. I'm not awake to day.

Commodore Sics D'fore · Fri Jun 30, 2006 10:38 pm

OH! the space corps directives? I don't know. Do a search.
