Transcendence

Since I figured out what was happening in the course of writing this ticket, I decided to cut out all the backstory and get right to the bug itself (which I have already determined)

This bit of code in Kate's behavior scripts is the culprit.

Code: Select all

(shpOrder gSource 'patrol targetObj 180)

Since my first shots hit one of the sitting armored freighters and killed it, as a patrolling ship set to guard the station, she attacked ME.
If it weren't for the fact I had fast reflexes, fast thinking, and having gone up ahead and backtracked to the arena after getting an invincible and omniTev9 (Since I didn't want a repeat of the nasty missile surprise incident... The idea was that my tev9 would kill the other guy before those XM900's killed me...), I managed to survive long enough to get to the opposite side of the station as kate causing her missiles aimed at me to kill the station. (thanks george for adding in the ability to fire at targets near stations! XD)

She packs gothaM10's - not nearly as epic as those XM900's in killing the player in Rigel, but they are still powerful (4d12 thermo damage) - more than enough to kill the player at this point in the game, especially if they had no idea what was going on and that it was the player that kate was shooting.

Yeah, a real game-ruining bug.
