Galaxy: Uncompleted startravel

VDZ · Post by **VDZ** » Sat Jun 05, 2004 1:33 pm

Name: Uncompleted Startravel
Date/Time: 5 June 2004, dunno the time
Bug Short Description: If you accidentaly connect to a planet while using your stardrive, you lose the uridium but stay in the star system.
Steps To Recreate: 1. Get a stardrive and uridium. 2. Start the stardrive but bump into a planet. 3. Watch how you lose the uridium and are stuck in M-225 forever.
Attachments/Notes: Mit, can you put me back to Cirrus Minor? In M-225, nothing sells Uridium.

If you interrupt the sequence in any way you lose the irridium. I actually lost quite a bit of credits experimenting on the many myriad was you can interrupt the sequence - I was trying to see if it was possible to skip the 15 minute "cut scene" and end up in your target star system-(evidently not).

15 minute cut-scene? Do u mean the stardrive sequence? Its been 40 seconds for the last few months.. (Tho i personally did always prefer the full hour-long version :] ).

Btw, The infinite improbability drive (otherwise known as "the only way to travel") takes jus 4 seconds to transfer you to anywhere in the galaxy. Gotta have something to aim for, aight?

Yeah, but it costs 200cr. Nobody has that.

Post by **Mit** » Thu Jun 10, 2004 4:57 pm

oh it did?

..what we need is some sorta writable bug-tracking system... :]

Yeh, but first I have to apply the "am I just being a chimp" filter. And that can take forever.
