this is an interesting item. Aes Dana will be able to explain how this happened. i heard about it, and had to buy it...1mil well spent.




upon looking at this item outside of station, you get this.



and then this happened, (locally on my machine.) but it looked cool too.

Hehe, that was some good money that went into my pocket :)
I got the item from this mission http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/2/14756
AFAIK it's the hostage that bails out the ship which i was able to scoop up and shows up as null?

This item is dangerous though. After having jettisoned it and targeted DrDoak007 after he picking it up my whole X hanged. Couldn't do nada, zip, nothing. Relogged and found me stranded in space. Couldn't ride my boat. Forward, backward or strafe gave nothing except for a sound. No animations or movement what so ever. I was able to jump to any system and from there immediately to another, even in system with belts and planets. Relogged again and found my char being back to normal. Stay away from this bugged item :)

your thread is about the error with the mission, our goes into it a bit further. our transaction created two different faults.

one, his boat didnt float...

and two, it leaves traces behind.

plus spuck, we noted your original post in the one above yours.

reading, does a body good.

I read the post didn't follow the url though because it read like it pointed to the description of the mission, smartass.

Those "traces" have been there last week. I didn't bother mentioning them because they were a minor glitch and fixing that bot pickup thing would have gotten rid of those anyway.

merc:
what do you mean with "X hanged", Xserver or the game? You sure that it wasn't just the ui that died?
you saw the sector you were in though after you relogged?

Just to clarify things. What i meant was that the game got stuck, froze, hung etc. Couldn't do anything expect for ctrl+alt+f1 and kill vendetta. Went back with ctrl+alt+f7 and logged back in and couldn't move my ship. Relogged and it was back to normal.
If you want a more thorough explanation, please post your email and i'll have it over in a step-by-step format.

just tried to reproduce it with relayer.

I lost control of my ship by
targetting unit
clicking away first error
open pda
click away error
close pda
click away error
ding .. no control of ship

is that the same thing that happened to you? if so you could have just toggled the ingame console on and off to get control back.

we never saw anything odd happening when targeting a player with that thing on board though.
never got anything after logging off or killing the client with it on board or targeted either. Maybe it was just a coincidence that your killing the client left the game in a weird state or something.

[moved to bugs]

My UI froze and all gamekeys were dead.
