How... unexpected. Maybe a bug.

[goat not sheep]

I was doing the protect the superfreighter carrying pterancnium (or w/e you spell that) ore, and watching it fly, not a single ares ship came. NOT A SINGLE ONE!!! I was like, wow, was this glitched? Going close to the CSC, they were like, "Kill the damn suicidal freighter!!!" And i was like, wtf? So, i used my IM07 multi-target and destroyed the freighter very quickly, but also severely damaged the CSC(well, no severely, but 45%). They didn't let me dock. Is that normal?


Also, I did one of the CSC missions, and they were like, protect this convoy from the jiang star stargate. I said ok, undocked and it says mission completed. Bug?

The stargates might've been really close together for the second thing, but the first thing is really weird

I've run into the suicidal freighter before, but didn't damage the CSC, so I succeeded in the mission. Shouldn't be any bug there - just kill the crazy freighter (you know you want to).

First is no bug, except for the second problem with it. second is a bug.

Code: Select all

("mission2b"
						; Code to describe mission
						(lambda Nil
							(block (gateList)
								; Find a stargate more than 300 light-seconds away
								(setq gateList (sysFindObject gSource "GR:300;"))
								
								; See if we meet all requirements
								(switch
									; If there are no gates near by, there is no mission
									(not gateList)
										(block Nil
											(setq gMissionNoneText "\"Sorry, there are no missions currently available.\"")
											Nil
											)
									
									; If the player doesn't have an SRS enhancement, then they

Second isn't a bug exactly, just a system generated with very close gates. Though the game should probably reject (or modify) that mission if that is the case.

Two things: one, it is supposed to wait for a while, and two, it is supposed to reject it if the gates are less than 150 light seconds apart.
