Dwargs disregard destruction of domicile

In other words, I destroyed a Dwarg base from a distance with an omni particle weapon without hurting any of the Dwarg guards and something strange happened... nothing. The Dwarg ships continued to circle around the destroyed base until I came in to loot it. None of them became followers and none of...

Great recording--lots of fun to watch. I can't quite figure out how you ended up with Barbary-class ships in Charon. I'll have to look a little more deeply. Was there a Marauder compound in the system, by any chance? I presume you are not using any mods? Thanks. I can provide you the save game that...

I made a recording of what I faced in the Charon system. It's on YouTube:

I found Charon to be too hard. It seems like every ship in the system comes after you after the Koralov base is destroyed and they keep respawning. You have to come back to Charon after getting some better equipment the way it is right now.

RC6 minor issues

I noticed that the Centauri raider reinforcements that travel to Raisu station before you complete the Arco Vaughn mission will not defend themselves until they arrive at Raisu station unlike most other enemies enroute from one place to another. Also, I'm not sure if its intended or not, but it seem...

Ok. So not a "bug" exactly, but more of an oddity.

Normally when I get that mission, the container habitat is targeted for me instead of his ship and I don't get "unknown hostile".

No and I forgot to see if there was a .sav file present or not before trying to recreate the problem.

RC6 - Arco Vaughn = "unknown hostile"?

First time I've seen this. Just accepted the Arco mission in the Erdani system and this is how Arco showed up. Note this is the first runthrough on this release that I get a targeting ROM before getting the Arco mission. http://sparcman.net/Documents/trans-screenshot2.jpg Another note. When I got cl...

So first impressions: either the RNG hates me lately or the game is WAAAAAY harder now. I can rarely make it past the first couple rounds of the arena anymore and often end up getting killed in the first couple of systems. I also seem to be struggling to scrape up enough cash to buy fuel and much ne...

Another issue with the Arena is not so much a bug as it is an annoyance. If you have Autons following you, it's hard to get them to follow you through the Arena opening. I'd like to see an option to give an Auton a "shutdown" order at which point you can dock with it to take it back into your cargo ...

The description for the cannon accelerator says it will give kinetic weapons 75% more damage, but my dual recoilless is showing +50% instead of +75%.

It may be too late to implement something like this, but it would be cool if the game could somehow calculate a risk factor for a mission based on hostile enemy bases (not dead) and whether the destination is a base with a "shady" reputation and allow you to try and negotiate a higher fee. Standard ...

Actually, the command I'd like to see is a target hotkey system - you assign a hotkey to the current target. Like Alt 1-5 assigns a hotkey and 1-5 recalls the hotkey target to the currently selected target. Maybe it would make the most sense to have this as a ROM upgrade (and only works if you've al...
