Unrat connie being out of sensor range

Aug 08, 2020 Stavinair Caeruleum link
I have absolutely no bloody idea why this continues to happen, but this is the THIRD WEEK the connie wasn't within the debris field. I don't know if its a bug or if some punk is luring it way out of range, but this crap has got to stop. It's a very serious problem that needs to be addressed asap. Last time this happened a friend and me tracked the bloody thing 76k out of the field. I'm not amused, and I am sure there are easy fixes. The field is at L7 and yet no connie to be seen. Time was around 14:30. Please fix this/implement a system to prevent this crap from happening ever again.

We're already aware and looking into it, but we're also in the "middle" of a meatgrinder of a release that took us until 2am last night before we gave up and deferred it.

So, we will investigate this, but not until after the release. The release has stuff in it that could catastrophically break a lot of things (like "new players being able to create accounts"), so.. priorities.

FWIW, we didn't hear about this issue until yesterday, via ticket. So, if it's been a problem for awhile, well, people should write tickets, but unless I've missed something (always possible!) we definitely haven't been intentionally ignoring this..

It's alright man. Only two devs so tons of stuff to focus on. And yikes. Hope you got whatever it is about that release fixed.

Well, today, there were two of us working on killing it. It followed us maybe 10-20k from the debris field (I could still see it, so not too far). We were looking at an alternative method of killing it, which didn't go so well. Back to the original method in the future.

We actually debated bringing you into the group and very nearly did so until you started cussing us out in sector chat. So we decided against. One of us had to depart for a RL appointment and we abandoned it.

I think there are a few points:

1) you show up too late. First come, first serve.
2) you annoy the shit out of people and they don't want you to participate in their activities
3) have some patience and if the team that's doing the connie doesn't kill it, it'll be all yours.

If I knew you'd be so dramatic about it, I would've just killed it quicker and you wouldn't have had it all. I'm assuming you had a chance when we abandoned it.

Okay, noted, but there's zero room for drama on Bugs.

Unless someone has something specific to offer about the mechanics of the bug itself, best to keep it off of here.

This Post is in response to This Bug, but I feel this is more of a "suggestion" on a couple possible features to add to correct this issue, and are not related to the bug in itselff.

My bad, Inc.

I followed an outside link and didn't pay attention to what forum it was in when I should've.

My main desire was to point out that there were actually 2 players interacting with it and we knew he was there. And we could see the hulk/wreckage still in the background, though we were pretty far out.

This is still going on at latos H5 when I entered Sat Oct 17 13:07:17 2020. Basically connie goes after cappie, and you can make the whole unrat fleet go 40k+ meters away from the debris field. Aka, can be drawn out infinitely

I removed the reference to an individual. Please use the ticket system if you must report a person or group who you believe is exploiting.
