Title: Suffering from transit whaaat?
Post by: Nibelung44 on September 30, 2013, 01:53:51 PM

Situation: I'm trying to launch a buoy (don't work either with a regular missile) with the 'Msl Launch' button in the Task Group panel, to no avail.

At first, I wanted to launch it over a jump point, but I always got 'suffered from transit', even after 2 days sitting there. Then I'm trying over a random asteroid, and still no luck. The message clearly is wrong...

How can I launch a buoy in space then (the 2 launchers are tied to the buoys)  :'(

Try moving off the JP and back.

I moved off to an asteroid some 200 m kms away and it still don't want

If I do a 'launch missile at waypoint' it works, if I use the Msl Launch button I get this message. Seems broken to me?

How can I know the endurance of a buoy now?

Its always been that way basically, just use waypoints.

Buoys have infinite endurance.

so mines now have infinite endurances? It was not working this way back in 5.xx ... just to say.

How can I remove a buoy I created, can I fire on it? I made some tests in the solar system and now it looks ugly :(

I'm not sure. In the worst case you can use the SM race (or create a new race using SM), give it an anti missile ship, and use it to destroy the mines.

Do they show up in the list of inflight missiles on the combat tab? You can choose to self destruct any missile from there.
