1.06 / 1.06a : have a question :

[shanejfilomena]

I want to ask if :
destroy station explosion kills player: game crashes ( happens to me often )

has ANYONE befriended the huari in this version because 6 fortresses and several citadels later they still hate me

I don't remember it taking too many sung stations to get them to turn green.

Did you, or any of your autons or wingmen, blow up any Huari ships? I haven't gotten far enough to test yet in 1.06a.

[Drako Slyith]

Are you using any mods?

[shanejfilomena]

@ bobby: no Huari sighted on a "regular basis". I will check it all again but I swear there is something "missing" and I can not exactly find out what it is.
my 2380 is made from the data base, I do not use wingmen while working in the game unless it is a ship I put in the game so the game has complete control.

( outside of the "working" phases I use UGWingmen with my games for fun, much of my personal games would be no fun without knowing those files are in there if I use a wing, I get shot in the back less often : but not in 1.06, I have yet to play it for fun because I wanted to try to make a extension for it )

None of those things should have changed from 1.05. Can you create a repeatable case of the game crashing on station explosion, without mods?

[shanejfilomena]

I have never lived long enough to do it straight out but it COULD be my ship, the Network hates my ship, so 2380 might too .

I did not actually think it was worthy of a " bug report" : It could always be just me and my Dell.

Anyways: I have pulled shields off Zach and a few stations I decided I no longer want are " out" : the thing is Nerfed as far as I can without starting it over.

Changes from 1.05 to 1.06 : there were a few
( some item images such as launchers: the use of rs names that were not in use earlier, table requirements = in 1.06 the "100" is not exactly needed to get past the game's mind ; but 1.05 freaks out over it, I think 1.06 is 'smarter' about handling the table tags )

this version of 2380 will not fly in 1.05. at all. I would have to go nuts tinkering with it.

as for the Huari: ill just skip that. if they show up they show up: I am sure Virkmar can resurrect in that system: getting out might be an issue for the Cruiser, but I am sure they can do the job the player pays for.

The 1.06a version seems to have an issue with thermal explosions / missiles: this is one of my usual problems: the other is "unable to draw" after a thermal explosion of a Ranx station.
but to me, I think it is my ship : but I needed opinions so I asked.

Anyways: 2380 is being tested again: I think I figured out the Huari problem: think....I am testing my theory now.
;;;;;crashes actually do not bother me I fly a custom ship built by a great Mod maker and I built two insurance companies :
dying is just fine with me and Ill look good doing it

I was mostly concerned that the question be looked into in case it is not just me, it happens too often to be coincidence .

has ANYONE befriended the huari in this version....

I'm part way through a 1.06a game and the Huari became friendly right on schedule (after I'd destroyed a total of six Sung fortresses and citadels).

A couple months back, playing 1.05, I fooled myself into thinking I'd gone past six Sung station kills without the Huari turning friendly, but in fact it wasn't so (I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken... ).

In that game as always (being an inveterate back-tracker), I was using Bobby's indispensable "Captain's Log 3.0" mod. Following the sixth kill, I quickly looked up a Huari fortress I'd seen earlier in the Log, and was disappointed to see that it was still "red" . Of course the Huari fortress was in a previously visited system, and when I jumped back into that system to have a look for myself it immediately turned "green". Initially this surprised me, but on reflection it made perfect sense: Since the "Captain's Log" is just a log, rather than some sort of interstellar sensor system, it can't update the status of a station when you're not in the system the station is located in.

yes!!!!!! thankyou for your input but
we tracked the problem to my ship: not the first time it was a problem.
And the fact I was killing THE WRONG stations LOL : the stations I was killing were mine ( but did not realize a code malfunction),
this has been repaired as well as several other things.

in 1.01 I have the advantage of the familiar reactions or lack of them and it is helping me track down other problems I had for 1.06 without having to fly in 1.06 with my cruiser:
the release of 2380 will be for 1.01 : and a 1.06 version will follow it being as I will have the problems sorted out: I had put far too much in at once , a Noob mistake
