The Academy / Re: Passive two stage missiles?
« Last post by nuclearslurpee on Yesterday at 11:39:46 PM »
It may help to share your missile designs, including separation distance for first stage. Multiple-stage missiles have historically been a bit buggy but also easy to set up incorrectly so it's hard to tell which is the case here without more detail.

The Academy / Passive two stage missiles?
« Last post by Mayne on Yesterday at 11:26:15 PM »
I am trying to make a long range two stage missile for use against raiders.  The idea is that I would fire the first stage at a waypoint and then the thermal tracking second stage would do the rest.  Instead, the 2nd stage just stays at the waypoint until it runs out of fuel.  I have tried this with actives and then thermals on the 2nd stage, and also with both on the 1st stage and have not found a way to make this work.  I have tried deleting the waypoint after firing after reading that somewhere to no success.

Interestingly, using the "Launch Ready Ordnance" command makes them function as short-lived mines where the 2nd stage tracks and attacks targets as expected, so that's something I suppose.

Am I missing something and this is WAI? Or is this a bug?

...Well that escalated quickly...

I play at max tech a lot and am going to echo what others have said. You really do want to spend time with lower level techs. Playing around at this level will not actually teach you much and you are quickly going to learn the wrong lessons by building ships like this that, while likely able to destroy anything you run across, aren't actually good ships at that tech level.

C# Mechanics / Re: Space stations
« Last post by Garfunkel on Yesterday at 07:46:11 PM »
Yes, and remember that there is nothing that prevents you from RP'ing that a "fleet" of space stations is actually one big station. That way you can build modular space stations with both commercial and military elements to them.

The new Jump Drive changes look nice.

Does this signal a shift from bugfixing the recent releases to working on the next major release?

Personally I am hoping we get the drive changes and then Steve starts on a 2.5 which will be a major release. Seems like most of the obvious bugs have been found now so 2.4 should be a stable version for AARs.

C# Bug Reports / Re: v2.3.1 Bugs Thread

Potential bug with the "Create Habitable" feature.

Game version 3.3.1, entirely new game, all I've done is activate SM and click "Create Habitable".

In the 2.2 Patch Notes it was stated that when using Create Habitable the following rule applied toward the end of the process:
Quote
If the resulting temperature is between 250K and 310K (-23C and 37C), the planet qualifies as habitable and the dominant terrain is updated. If not, subsequent planets are checked. If no suitable planets are created, the system is discarded and regenerated until a suitable planet is created

Unless this is no longer the case, "habitable" systems are being created that fall outside this temperature bound. Attached is the screenshot of one such planet. There are no other planets in the system that might be considered the habitable one, so it's not the result of a failed conversion that was mentioned as a possibility in the feature description. As you can see, the temperature is currently 47.9 degrees, with the min/max due to eccentricity at 47.29 - 62.05 degrees.

Another option is to make buoys.

Woooo, Unless you want to end up with several dots on your screen impossible to recognize, you need to remember to name waypoints and stuff because the remove Salvo tracker doesn't have a "location" but it tracks targets. I just did a quick and dirty setup to show you how hard it could be otherwise.

First just launched ready ordnance as you can see no target, then I added a waypoint (just general).

This is important especially when you have multiple search and destroy missions along with monitoring of Jump points and such. Reason? You may have to clean it up at some point, trust me.  ;)

Oh, don't be worried, you can remove the waypoints as well, doing that doesn't cancel the target on the salvo screen.

A typo someone on Discord pointed out but seems to not have made it here:

in Missiles/Kinetics research the tech line for Active Termal Guidance +X% should probably be rather Thermal Guidance?
It should be Active Terminal Guidance.
