Temporary KOS still doesn't always go away

Nov 18, 2012 Pizzasgood link
I'm UIT and KOS with them. I shot a dude in the Corvus NFZ and became temp-kos with Corvus. Then I died in B8 and got stuck with the game trying to send me to several stations, all of which I was KOS or temp-kos at.

This bug has been around since you did the 15 minute temp-kos half a year ago. You might want to consider fixing it someday, as getting stuck at the loading screen for 15 minutes is non-fun.

Confirmed, I have been regularly going to other stations to reset my tempKOS at the primary station instead of /exploding. It still does not 100% reset the tempKOS

Wait, are you talking about Strike Force? They attack you until they dock, not when the TempKOS runs out, which i consider a bug.

No, I am talking about exactly what I said I was talking about - getting trapped at the loading screen because the game considered me KOS with both UIT and Corvus.

The temp-kos is supposed to reset when you die, under any circumstances. But there is a bug that makes that unreliable.

Bump.

Confirmed.

Perhaps a fix should be to cycle through factions until it finds one you are not KOS with, and then deposit you there. Could still take a few minutes, but would eliminate the 15 minute redirect.

Unless someone is KOS with all but corvus....in which case....that's a very unsociable person.

Additionally, the tempkos at any faction station still makes you tempkos at all conquerable stations.

Can you reliably reproduce the problem with Temp KOS not being removed when it should?

What's supposed to happen is that if you can't be sent to your nation's station, you're supposed to be sent to Corvus. They should accept anybody but that explicit check wasn't being done. Instead it was just doing the normal faction check so if you're hated by Corvus then they wouldn't let you dock.

It seems to happen when I die in a non-station sector. I can't confirm whether it only happens under those conditions, nor whether it always happens under those conditions. I don't remember it ever happening when I died within a station sector, but I could just be forgetting. I've definitely seen the tmpkos reset after dying in station sectors plenty of times.

I would normally go test it more thoroughly tonight, but I won't have time. I need to pack and prepare for my vacation, which will take me off the grid for a week (no internet on Dad's farm).

I think the bigger issue here is the 15 minute redirects, and the CS stations marking KOS for any tempkos standing.

If those two issues are addressed, the remaining occasional non-reset in much less of an issue.

Thanks Pizzasgood.
Yeah, the temp kos wasn't being removed in non-station sectors.

Savet, the 15 minute bounce-around would only happen if you're hated by Corvus, which should not happen. That'll be fixed in the next server restart.
