Thread: Things broken in Pub 24
Y-8 still incapable of mining asteroids properly. The main gun (when outfitted with any mining laser) fails to break off chunks unless the ship is moving at high velocities. Also, when the pilot leaves the helm, all turrets become incapable of breaking off chunks of asteroids.
The issue with the main gun is my largest complaint. If the pilot cannot assist in breaking up asteroids, you'll still be better off flying individual ships than bringing a crew of any size onto the Y-8.

??? There's a privateer ship with nice windows? Could have fooled me.
You can still see out them right? Or are they bugged too?

I have an elite mineing laser set to my pilots gun. It breaks off a chunk every shot. Even when stopped.
Yes you do need a master pilot with ROTW installed to mine.

Got something in about the black Y-8 and Nova windows earlier today, but this is the first I've heard about loot-related problems in space. Anyone else running across anything screwy in that regard?
I WISH I had had a night of looting nothing but L10 weapons and 9k instasells. Nothing abnormal about mine or a friend's runs.

yea the space POI thing is really annoying i hate sitting around looking for a station when i should be able to just autopilot right to it.
POI you have to activate each time you land in the system. Make a WP, and it'll always be active once you land in system.
Guess why I didn't notice anything yesterday

I was breaking off chunks last night in the pilot's chair.
The tractor beams DO work in turrets.

I think it is just the Nova and Y-8, proving Imperial Window Tech is better then Rebel's... and of course the Privateers stole our window designs.
ROTFL!
