Official v6.40 Bugs Reporting Thread

When you accidentally scrap a ship that has some sort of team loaded, the team node becomes eternal. You still see the team name in the crew assignment window and can even assign people to it (which are then located... nowhere o_O), but since you cannot delete or disperse teams that are not located on a planet, this name will stay there forever. It doesn't matter if the teams are empty or not when the ship is scrapped, their location just vanishes. Of course, if they are not on a system body or ship, they also cannot be loaded into a new one.

That scout I mentioned two posts back? It ran out of fuel just short of the hole, and began incessantly complaining about it being unable to execute orders. Which it did not have. Is the black hole movement some sort of hidden order?

AFAICT, the black hole system is frakked.

[PSI]

On the F12 screen, you can set the scout's current speed to a minimum of 1. Dunno if it'll start moving towards the black hole though.

Steve -

I have uncovered some weird things going on with orbital habitats.  I designed and built several orbital habs with the capacity for 2 million people.  I then moved them to an otherwise uninhabitable planet where I had previously created a colony.  The economics screen showed no changes after moving them there, and showed no orbital habitat capacity.  After playing around with it for some time with no success, I turned off Aurora.  I later started Aurora again and when I checked the economics screen it showed orbital habitat capacity of 10 million.  That was half of what it should have been, but at least it was something.  I created another colony in the system and began moving the orbital habitats between the two colonies.  Sometimes they would show the correct population capacity, and others the colonies would not.  I was not able to detect a pattern.

It appears that there is a new maximum range for missiles limit in 6.4-6.42 due to the new intercept course calculations. I just had this situation:


After firing those torpedoes, I would get many many error messages that pointed out a overflow problem with missile intercept calculation.(missed the opportunity for screenshot here) The number of error windows depended on how big the progression interval was. 5 seconds were like a couple dozen; 30 seconds never seemed to end (thought it hanged up for quite a while). If I had to guess I would say it popped seconds*missileCount error windows, so 40 first, then 240 later - or something not directly depended on seconds, but still indirectly to time and minimum calculation interval. I guess this because after forwarding for an hour, it was still not more than the 30 seconds.
Now the missiles have passed a certain point though, and I can progress without error windows again. Thus there must be a maximum distance before bug out, and I will be damned: it seems, again, to be the 2.147 billion... . In suspicion of that, I checked the distance to the target when the errors came up, and it was something like 2.2b. Since I tested the torpedoes at closer range successfully already, I had enough hope to push through another couple hundred error windows in an hour calculation so that maybe, after this line, the problem would vanish. And it did.

...This 2^31 is my first numerical enemy by now. Seems like I will be hating it on a couple of other occasions in Aurora future.

Entering in a system I encountered 4 ships of an alien race. I started fight with them, immobilizing two of them on the space (I suppose their engines were destroyed coz their thermal contact was reduced), and I back in my system to reload my magazines and bring a ground unit to assoult and capture these ships. When I returned in the alien system, the ships appeared like new, at full speed.. :/

[Gwyn ap Nud]

Wouldn't a repair module explain that?

[Kaiser]

I don't think so, because I have again immobilized one of them and after captured it. This alien ship has actually 18/143 MSP, so it means that she had used them to repair something (engines?), but considering that she is capable of 12 fusion engines (each of them 125 MSP cost), she has been able to repair only 1 of these engines, unless she gets MSP for free on the space

[NihilRex]

Pretty sure spoilers and nprs and civs dont track fuel or msp use, effectively, yes, getting them for free.

Non-Sol start game created in 6.42 and only a few years in:

"Factory Restored |   0012th Construction Brigade has recovered 40x  on New Vulpanis"

40x.... nothings? I seem to have an alien artifact smuggling ring on my hands...

That scout I mentioned two posts back? It ran out of fuel just short of the hole, and began incessantly complaining about it being unable to execute orders. Which it did not have. Is the black hole movement some sort of hidden order?

AFAICT, the black hole system is frakked.

Try using the Abandon Ship button in the Damage Control tab of the Ships window as a work-around? Since the ship is dead anyway...

Less than 3 years into a game with a 10 year truce, an NPR starting the same system attacked me.

Reset the game to an earlier backup...they did it again, this time they immediately attacked a colony ship as soon as it was built.  It was marked hostile, even though our relations were 300+

[Wolfius]

Just recovered "6x 0cm C4 Ultraviolet Laser" from alien ruins. Those are some tiny lasers!

0cm C4 Ultraviolet Laser (1)    Range 0km     TS: 5000 km/s     Power 0-4     RM 4    ROF 0        0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Ruins were placed using SM mode, if it matters, and Tech Level 4.

[Vandermeer]

@Wolfius: That looks like a bug at first, but really isn't one. You stumbled across a laser that uses "advanced laser" beam technology, which can only be found in ruins. It is really weak on early tech grades (thus even the 0 damage), but progresses exponentially and later far surpasses any other weapons max. damage potential. If you are lucky you will find enough of those components that you can learn the tech from disassembling them, after which you can research the rest normally by yourself.

[Haji]

Not sure if this is a bug or not, but are NPRs and spoilers supposed to build FACs with only three missile launchers? Ones that use 25% size reduction? I would have thought that on FACs you would mount only box launchers, especially when you have only four or eight of those craft.

Edit: also it seems that if a vessel has too many weapons (like, say, a thousand box launchers) the "weapons and fire control assignment summary" won't properly display them all. In this case if my memory serves only eight hundred seventy some launchers were displayed.

Issue with MRV missiles and bizarre resource use.  120 size 12 missiles requiring 90,000+ units of uridium.  Nothing else being constructed, no ships yet built to even consume maintenance.
Missile design screen shows normal resources per unit.


1st stage bus:
Materials Required:    4x Tritanium   0.432x Boronide   0.72x Uridium   4.2592x Gallicite   Fuel x3500

4x second stage:
Materials Required:    1x Tritanium   0.108x Boronide   0.18x Uridium   0.7648x Gallicite   Fuel x250
