dud battery

Apr 03, 2006 Lord Q link
I only managed to do it once, but it was very strange

I loged on and purchased a TPG maud X from Latos N-15.
Then i purcheased 3 gauss cannons and a heavy battery.
next i launched from the station.

after launching i plotted a coarse to Dau P-7.
When i attempted to engage Turbo nothing hapened. I then tried a veriety of inputs and determined that my strafe and turbo were not working, and that my battery reading was "0".

My ship had a constant velocity of 20m/s after launch and the battery did not charge. there was however a battery icon on the left side of my screne, so i assume i had a battery equipped (not to mention the UI doesn't generaly let you launch without one)

[edit] i'm running VO on a Power book G4. i can provide m ore technical info if needed.

here's my errors.log

[Mon Apr 3 19:31:39 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Esandis Prosara> is it the queens escort?
[Mon Apr 3 19:32:15 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Rhiado Lokkison> I think so.
[Mon Apr 3 19:32:22 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Rhiado Lokkison> sure beat the shit out of me
[Mon Apr 3 19:32:40 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Rhiado Lokkison> had to be 10-15 of them and one -really- big one.
[Mon Apr 3 19:32:55 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Esandis Prosara> the way ive been killing queens (3 so far) is to load up a rag with missiles and fire them at the queen and beam out right as they start shooting
[Mon Apr 3 19:33:00 2006] 28b4f0[100] <John Rambler> there is a queen in Arta Caelestis at O-8 if anyone cares
[Mon Apr 3 19:33:23 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Rhiado Lokkison> would someone be willing to help me kill this one?
[Mon Apr 3 19:33:44 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Rhiado Lokkison> um, it might take several someones.
[Mon Apr 3 19:34:59 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Mecha Touriuas> anyone notice how the scroll bar spins in the new ui?

[Mon Apr 3 19:35:15 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Rhiado Lokkison> any one else up for a queen hunt?

[Mon Apr 3 19:35:21 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Forrest> i'll come
[Mon Apr 3 19:36:01 2006] 28b4f0[100] <IRC> <Mark McDoogle> there are a lot of other ways to kill a queen, rags are the slowest and most expensive
[Mon Apr 3 19:36:21 2006] 28b4f0[100] Mecha Touriuas likes a megaposi+n2 or lawgun hog
[Mon Apr 3 19:36:21 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Esandis Prosara> :C
[Mon Apr 3 19:36:41 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Alpha Draconis> hive posi and mega posi work well
[Mon Apr 3 19:36:51 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Alpha Draconis> but you may be a bit hvy
[Mon Apr 3 19:36:52 2006] 28b4f0[100] <IRC> <Mark McDoogle> that would be a vet ship yes, since you need to kill 10 queens to get the mega possi
[Mon Apr 3 19:37:01 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Mecha Touriuas> or a megaposi prom with finisher adv rails
[Mon Apr 3 19:37:28 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Mecha Touriuas> if i had to killl them without the badge i'd say plasmadev
[Mon Apr 3 19:37:48 2006] 28b4f0[100] <IRC> <Mark McDoogle> no way, revC duel neut2's
[Mon Apr 3 19:37:56 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Esandis Prosara> well the rag way costs less than 20,000 and finding the queens is slow enough anyway
[Mon Apr 3 19:37:57 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Mecha Touriuas> and rail to finish off
[Mon Apr 3 19:38:28 2006] 28b4f0[100] <IRC> <Mark McDoogle> queen finding is the easiest part, 5min tops
[Mon Apr 3 19:38:37 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Mecha Touriuas> rails enable the ability to kill many queens in sequence.
[Mon Apr 3 19:38:45 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Mecha Touriuas> without repairing
[Mon Apr 3 19:38:51 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Esandis Prosara> ah, yeah i wouldnt be able to handle more than 1
[Mon Apr 3 19:38:54 2006] 28b4f0[100] <IRC> <Mark McDoogle> if they've been worked down
[Mon Apr 3 19:38:57 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Mecha Touriuas> use them to finish her off from a distance
[Mon Apr 3 19:39:04 2006] 28b4f0[100] <IRC> <Mark McDoogle> anything that require reloading is a bad idea
[Mon Apr 3 19:39:21 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Mecha Touriuas> just finish them off with them, not rely on them
[Mon Apr 3 19:39:44 2006] 28b4f0[100] <IRC> <Mark McDoogle> and stay 500m away when they blow up!!!
[Mon Apr 3 19:39:45 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Mecha Touriuas> with adv rails you could kill 10 queens before reloading
[Mon Apr 3 19:39:51 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Esandis Prosara> i think im missing something with the queen hunting
[Mon Apr 3 19:40:04 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Mecha Touriuas> with mk2 or lower 30
[Mon Apr 3 19:40:10 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Esandis Prosara> you cant hit the queen with anything but missiles and rails from more than 500m right?
[Mon Apr 3 19:40:35 2006] 28b4f0[100] <IRC> <Mark McDoogle> I've done it with neuts
[Mon Apr 3 19:40:37 2006] 28b4f0[100] <mr_spuck> energy works too . but you have to have a good good timing
[Mon Apr 3 19:41:39 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Rhiado Lokkison> got squished
[Mon Apr 3 19:41:58 2006] 28b4f0[100] <IRC> <Mark McDoogle> there go that 20k =(
[Mon Apr 3 19:42:48 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Forrest> you killed it?
[Mon Apr 3 19:42:53 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Hatori Hanso> yes
[Mon Apr 3 19:43:13 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Hatori Hanso> thats my 7th
[Mon Apr 3 19:43:17 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Esandis Prosara> do all energy weapons have the same range?
[Mon Apr 3 19:43:24 2006] 28b4f0[100] <IRC> <Mark McDoogle> any good drops
[Mon Apr 3 19:43:29 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Kteln> No, "Esandis Prosara"
[Mon Apr 3 19:43:32 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Hatori Hanso> dunno had to jump
[Mon Apr 3 19:44:20 2006] 28b4f0[100] <Kteln> If I remember correctly, all energy weapons have the same lifespan, which means weapons that have faster shots go farther
[Mon Apr 3 19:44:30 2006] 28b4f0[100] <mr_spuck> actually .. no
[Mon Apr 3 19:44:48 2006] 28b4f0[100] <IRC> <Mark McDoogle> but being the Grand Master of the Assassins guild you kind of do that a lot
[Mon Apr 3 19:44:50 2006] 28b4f0[100] <mr_spuck> plasma cannons have a really long lifetime
[Mon Apr 3 19:45:00 2006] 28b4f0[100] <jefferson clay> the plasna hx is good for over 800m
[Mon Apr 3 19:45:05 2006] 28b4f0[100] <mr_spuck> they go over 800m
[Mon Apr 3 19:45:05 2006] 28b4f0[100] <IRC> <Mark McDoogle> lol, totally wrong channel, hahaha
[Mon Apr 3 19:45:06 2006] 28b4f0[100] <mr_spuck> yeah
[Mon Apr 3 19:45:30 2006] 28b4f0[100] <jefferson clay> it makes a great botting weapon
[Mon Apr 3 19:45:48 2006] 28b4f0[100] <IRC> <Mark McDoogle> untill you can get anything else
[Mon Apr 3 19:46:04 2006] 28b4f0[100] <jefferson clay> especially on a vulturius as they drift fast
[Mon Apr 3 19:46:11 2006] 28b4f0[100] <mr_spuck> they are good against queens and leviatans :>

ok, cut the obscenely long, oversized log please... this is a known issue last I checked, and it wasn't with the battery. This popped up around beta 8 I believe.
Apr 03, 2006 Lord Q link
alright, well when a dev tells me the information is unesesary i will cut it, but untill then neither you or i are qualified to say what will and will not help the devs fix this bug.
Apr 03, 2006 KixKizzle link
lol
Apr 04, 2006 MSKanaka link
I think I can safely say that knowing the alts of the player won't help at all. The individual character settings weren't necessary to post.
Apr 04, 2006 Cunjo link
...or the chat dialogue, joy settings, etc...
Apr 04, 2006 Will Roberts link
You probably had a pale white turbo indicator, too, right?

Yeah, this bug was reported. Happened to me in Beta8 (?) with Win-Doh!s. Do you remember if you had a laggy connection? Unlog/log clears it. Or get a Die-Hard.
Apr 04, 2006 raybondo link
I'm editing that log. There's more info that needed on there.
Apr 04, 2006 raybondo link
That's a weird issue, though. If it happens again, let us know, but it doesn't seem very frequent.
