Thread: asteroids
Same here, some times chunks fly off sometimes they don't, don't know if it me or a bug, sent a bug report any way you know it will answered lol Only in my wildest imagination lol
Any one any ideas ?
It's a bug in the new Asteroid code. They limited the number of Asteroid Chunks that a player can have broken off at one time. Usually my limit is 2, it seems.
Now, once they are broken into smaller chunks, or have run out of time and de-instanced, you can break off more. This is the intended change.
Unintended consequence of this is that sometime your allowed chunks stay used up, either because you've got a chunk flying around somewhere far away, or because the code doesn't account properly for the Asteroid Chunks (I think the latter).
This has the wonderful additional effect of making asteroid mining a complete slow pain in the neck, best done with a faster ship with multiple weapon slots.
