Undead Narwhal does not like Big Greens or Willow O' Wisps. He simply kills them.

Is it meant to be possible to enter Empathic Mother with an Engine? Because it is possible now.

And to whoever made the new graphics and changes to Mausoleum: Awesome work.

Answer: No. I'll hotfix that immediately.

Mausoleum - thank you, although it looks like a copy/paste, it was actually a bit of work to make all the Stations SOBs. But two are missing! (known).

Updated.

Faranji Energy 1.
It has 100 vis. Was that intentional? All the others(2-9) have 0 vis.

Everything that I know of tells me that it is intentionsl

Some of the AI that spawn in Rumble 2, spawn without an engine OR weapons. Others just spawn without an engine.

Same goes for Rumble Mumble and UZ levels, some AI spawn without Engine, and some just thrust straight out into nowhere for no reason.

I'll look into AI spawning without items immediately.

Not complaining, genuinely curious; How does that actually happen?

I've investigated this - it looks like the Hive issue is rearing its head.

Essentially, AI who are spawned Bosses or Nasties are somehow reverting to default Trader AI (sleepy code issue?) and then stocking up on entire hull loads of commodities - workers, nuclear waste and so on. In the Rumbles, it looks like the ones who pick nuclear waste often have puny engines which simply can't handle the +weight.

Yay for smart AI


UZ - no idea, I've not been able to track any down without engines or who have commodities onboard.



In the interim, I'm removing all the tradable commodities from the Rumbles; AI will probably need clearing to get a fresh re-spawn of non-commercialised nasties though.

that doesnt sound like the problem.... they dont even try to thust. and its right after spawn, they dont get a chance to buy stuff.

Uff. Ok, I'll do some live testing later.

Yeah, right after spawn. Also had an issue right now in Mini Lion, there was a few lions around the warp I was by, and some on another warp 12k away. After killing 2/3 Lions that was around my warp, the 3rd Lion would normally fly up to the other Lions on the other warp. This is fine and normal.

Todays issue was that this 3rd Lion just started spinning into nowhere, without thrusting, I had to spawn GSA and fly 15k out to get it back. Really strange appearance.

Same thing happened to me against Knight. I had him at 50% just by the locked warp and he just cruised off to the northwest. He would still fire torpedoes at me if I came in range, but refused to turn around. Once I tractored him he eventually woke up, but I had to spawn GSA as well.
