Escort bugs

1) Escort didn't pay out at all. See screen:


2) Somewhat related... when riding escort tridents, the turrets always say "Object too far away to scan" when you target or shoot (even when it's right next to you). Not sure why they are saying this anyways. See screen:

#1 happens to me every time I'm warping in or out when the mission concludes.

Can you scale down those images? :P

That might have done it. I think I might have been in the trident when the mission concluded, but I'm not sure.

Scaled down a bit. Need more?

#2 isn't a bug. The Pilot Panties-Color Scanner that has been built in to the turrets since 1.8.110 has a range of -1m. You have to stick the turret inside the target for it to actually work.

Best. Bug. Ever.

The scanner only works if you select the ship itself, not the turret of a ship.

I've selected ships as well (was poor timing for the screen). I'll upload a new one as proof when I get a little time. The error message in that case could use a little tweaking though.

OH oops, I misinterpreted the second screenshot. Yeah, it shouldn't say anything when you are in a turret.

Voys are still leaving ion storms WAY far from my exit point. Detail: when I escort in an EMS ship I am obviously limited to repping damage done by bots, etc. When I chase one of my sheep to rep in an ion storm they frequently vanish having jumped out of the storm leaving me a LONG way from the exit point for me, once 26km. that left me WAY behind the voy when I finally managed to exit the storm. Exit points should be the same for all of us.

Yeah, this was allegedly first fixed some three years ago. Please don't hold your breath.

I think I have observed the exact problem with escorts entering WH sectors in the wrong area.

1) It only happens with non-mission escorts (not sure on this one... pretty sure at least, I don't take many escort missions, I only shoot the people that do)...
2) It only happens when the convoy is jumping in from the other system (does not occur in an in-system jump)...
3) The convoy jumps in where they would from an in-system jump (I.E. if the convoy is going from Latos O-12 to Sedina B-8 it would enter Sedina B-8 as if it jumped from Sedina O-12).

damn. didn't get paid again. and Maalik is right... I jumped at the end of mission. That bug is annoying.

It would be helpful to keep different bugs in separate threads. The payout bug should be fixed, as of tonight's update. The warp-in-location bug(s) are much more involved to fix, but I'll be taking another whack at it soon.

Just had an escort not pay again. At least, I didn't get the logs for it (it might have paid without showing me the logs). I was in the middle of a jump (in the loading screen) when the mission ended.
