Official v6.10 Bugs Thread

[metalax]

Could you confirm this one? I'm playing around with engines now and as soon as I change a 50 HS engine from power 0.5 to anything higher, it becomes military.

I'm not moving the power from the default x1.00, just increasing the size.

Just tested this now using a x1.75 50 HS engine, same behaviour.

The designs do show up as military when designing them, they just don't seem to actually change a ship they are put on from commercial to military.

On the technology report screen, EM Sensors are unable to be renamed. The rename box comes up when selected but it does not save whatever is typed in, it keeps the original name.

Fixed for v6.2

Yes, that was the problem. It was being created as a military system but the design code was checking the size of the engine, not the military system flag. Thanks for looking into it.

I also seem to remember it happening in some of the other catagories of the technology report screen although that was from a pre 6.0 game and I haven't had a chance to test them all yet in 6.1.

Also would it be possible to have the existing name show up in the text box, please. It is a little bit of a pain having to retype the whole name to fix a single character mistake.

[Steve Walmsley (OP)]

The Range(km) column of Fuel Report / Fuel Situation has some pretty large (and wrong) values

Yes, it was still using the pre v6.00 values. Fixed for v6.20.

Already fixed both of the above when I fixed the EM Sensors

Flags only go up to flag0389. jpg, but opening the galactic map in "Crusade" requires flag0391. jpg.

I'll add the two extra flag files to v6.20

Steve

[Steve Walmsley (OP)]

1) Me Too on the F9 system error 381/error 11.

2) I don't know if this is a "bug" or an unforeseen consequence of civilian design..

I generated a new game with a race whose capital is in a level 4 nebula (625 km/s per armor layer).

My civilians are running around, every single ship, at 625 km/s, so I take it they're not adding any additional armor to their designs.  I never got them to go outside the nebula (v6.10 showed up), so don't know what their true speed was.

There is no intelligence in the code for civilians building in Nebulae - I will tackle that at some point.

Ah cool preemptive bug fixing 

[Steve Walmsley (OP)]

when you pause a research project the labs are considered inactive and you are spamed this message in the event log.

( the crap out of me as i couldn't figure out how i could have 39 inactive labs as they where all allocated)

Fixed for v6.20

Error 5 in Use fuel
invalid argument or procedure call

Tractoring shipyards between earth and luna causes this. No fuel is being used to tug the shipyards over. massive orbital habs don't have this problem.

here is the tug in question:

Maintenance Capacity 23 MSP
Spare Berths 4    Tractor Beam

Fuel Capacity 3,000,000 Litres    Range 254.7 billion km   (842 days at full power)


This ship is classed as a commercial vessel for maintenance purposes

Also a much older one, the armour selection for magazine designs appears to have no effect, the best armour is always used.

Shipyard tractoring is fixed for v6.20. I ran into this issue in my own game.

Can't remember if this is working as intended. Is there a situation where you would want to use older armour for magazines?

Steve

[metalax]

One situation would be in a multi-faction game where a higher tech faction is building a ship to give to a lower tech faction. You may not want to give them your best technology, but give them something a few levels below, so if they just rip it apart to reverse engineer the tech they don't get all your best goodies. Ideally I'd like to be able to do this for ship armour as well.

Error 3021 in check crew morale, after capturing swarm workers. in hindsight I shouldn't have done that

Update: abandoning ship creates 0 survivor lifepods, that otherwise have no issues. Ground units are considered to be the two ships cargo, not its new crew. also loading them into carriers didn't help. I'll try capturing a ship that should actually have all the stuff that normal ships have to see if there are any issues there.

There are so many issues around capturing Swarm ships, because of their nature. I think it is best to disallow boarding combat vs Swarm in v6.20. It would be reasonable considering they wouldn't have crew areas in the normal sense.

Fighters with jump drives cannot traverse jump points unless they have a missile launcher and a missile fire control.  I have provided an account of my tinkering in the Question regarding jump capable fighters thread in The Academy.  The problem applies to both squadron transit and standard transit.

This has been explained so I'm just adding additional issue related to jump drives on top. In 5.60 and in 6.10 I've had an issue where troop carriers that should be perfectly capable of making a jump would refuse to do so. The ships were 15000 tonnes and the jump engines were supporting 18000 tonnes. I've recreated the design in a save from 5.6 and 6.1 a moment ago and the issue still occurs. Than I modified the design so that the ship meet the 18000 tonnes exactly and than they were capable of making the jump.

Gauss cannons do the same thing.
