sounds fine to me.. also..

just took an acquisition mission in Sedina, and.. turned in 27 crates... only got 300 credits as it was before.. instead of the 200 per crate.. probably an unupdated variable or something...

hrmm- weird- maybe an overwritten change- I've been doing simple fixes live on the production server and bigger things on the test server, so i could have undone my change. Thanks for the report!

strange indeed, because the code looks to be updated and in place. I'll test it in a bit- right now i'm working on a more fun-affecting bug (bots not coming in through the wormhole when they should)

sorry, I should have posted in the "old bugs that momerath42 hasn't fixed yet" thread.

It's not a bug, though. It's a soon-to-be-implemented feature that people ask me about 20 times a day- sorry I was snide about it :)

Quick question about the escort mission:

I escorted a convoy from Latos to Pelatus, taking out a number of Corvus pirates along the way. At the last wormhole, I stayed back while the convoy made it to its destination in order to finish off one last straggler pirate. The convoy docked with minimal losses, and I got a message about "You have 10 minutes to dock at the destination". As soon as I arrive in the destination sector, I receive a "Xang Xi standing decreased significantly" message, and the mission is no longer active.

Was that 10 minute timer busted, or did I mess up somewhere else along the line.

No, you ran across a reward-related bug. Somehow, occasionally, the number determining the rewards becomes negative. I thought I made it impossible to get a standing hit, though (along with neg money and xp). I hopefully have a log of the mistake, so I can correct it. Thanks for the report.

Edit: I haven't been able to find it- when did this happen?

I don't have it in my errors.log (must have restarted the client for some reason.) I think it was roughly between 9 -11 PM CST. The mission was from Sedina L-2 to Pelatus O-15 (not Latos, oops). I can try to repeat the circumstances and see if it happens again.

Momerath [to mr_spuck] in-game via IRC: "...there will not be any Helman Overseers..."

RelayeR: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!111ONE
The Hive Hunt Mission is awesome now!!!

Great bug squashing, mom!

RelayeR? Did you take that out of context? I dont recall saying it, and don't know why I would have.

Heh. I asked if there would only spawn helmans and you said no. Guess relayer misunderstood me.

After a while a levi we attacked only got helman reinforcements. We must have killed a few dozen in a row.
And ..in the moment it blew up we had 14 of those suckers in the sector. That's a lot more than what it orginally started out with.

Sry, I must have been mixed up, momerath. It was a very fun ride. Killing the Helmans quickly became a losing battle so we employed an old alpha tactic. Hearding them. ;-)

Have I just been unlucky, or has the hive been broken for the last 3-4 days? Every time I log in, there's no hive in Sedina. One night I mined for 30+ minutes and then looked for the hive and it still wasn't there. There's no hive-related missions in K-13 either.

I think it was on Monday I was killing bots in a leviathan sector and all of a sudden all of the bots warped out. So I took the opportunity to kill the leviathan in peace, but I haven't seen the hive since. :(

I disabled it a few days ago, because it may have been contributing to the recent server outages. I've been working on reliability all this week, and will have a patch out some time in the next few days. I'll re-enable the Hive at that time, and I don't expect to have to disable it again. Escort missions should also be much more reliable in that release, and Tridents will be in, hopefully permanently.

I'm stucked in a b0rked escort mission. The whole convoy docked and the mission did not end. The info button / mission menu in station doesn't do anything. I logged off/on but nothing changed except the mission is now displayed as "no name, no desc". I can't take any other mission.

You experienced two different bugs in succession, piglamamonkey. I've been working on making the Escort missions more robust for the last 2 weeks now, and I'm almost ready to release my changes. The no-name mission-menu bug is what is keeping you from taking other missions, and we don't have a fix for that yet (Andy's working on it), but if you just go to another station you should have the option of aborting your mission and then taking others.

Thanks. Near-release changes, woot!

Uh, I can't get the pirate mission anymore, all there is is that dumb mission that boots you off the server.

Ok, I can take the pirate mission , and those weird missions are gone, but when you try and do the pirate mission in a group, only the guy who took it gets any of the mission text, or xp, ect.

Hive Hunt is counting the kills backwards. When you kill the first bot, it says "1 more to go", the second kill "2 more to go", etc.

That's the killing spree. It's an old mission. has nothing to with the new tpye.

Maybe people just count backwards in that part of the galaxy. :P
