Thread: Boosters bugged? They stopped functioning on ALL my ships...

Boosters on all my ships are no longer working and I was wondering if other people haven been able to solve this problem, as I've seen other posts of this issue but have not seen any resolution. I had just bought a new y-wing longprobe, played with it for an evening and the next day the boosters didn't work. I launched my old y-wing and boosters didn't work in it either. Tried swapping out boosters, nothing. All components are at 100% (and not worn out) and ships are not overloaded. I attempted re-mapping B and other keys to boosters and that failed. All other mapped keys work fine. Both of these ships worked great monday evening (May 31, 2005) but stopped working the following day (June 1) and still aren't working.

This totally sucks. I'm trying to burn through my pilot training and it's kinda hard without boosters. Has anyone solved this?

I had the same problem last week.. restarting the game fixed it for me, but not all the time.. it's a pain in the arse, I know.. especially finding out at the mission that your booster isn't working when you have a gunboat and 20 escorts on your tail because you were doing a strafe run

Yeah, I've logged in, logged out over and over and still no luck... I haven't tried rebooting my machine. Seems lame if that's what fixes it... but then again, thisis a MS OS.

I think it's tied somewhat into the number key and non-alphabet key bug where some people can't use slashes or numbers

they also don't work unless you restart the game numerous times.. and if it's any indication of the fact that this STILL hasn't been fixed for some people, I fear your wait for this fix might be a long timeas well =(

if you bind a macro to a button named "booster" and use
/boosterToggle (not sure exactl on the command name but is something like that)

that should work. My boosters got bugged a week or 2 after I got JTL and that fixed it.
Also you can use /boosterOn & /boosterOff but that takes 2 buttons.

I was toying with my Y-8 again trying to find any way to actually mine with it.


Got a big 117 speed engine, and you know how long it takes a PoBship to stop.



I'm about 2k from the asteroid, so I hit the booster ...... nothing ..... still nothing .... oh well.


I continue on and get to within firing range around 600 or so ... I start blasting the asteroid .. suddenly


Whooosh .. the booster kicks in and sends me flying 2k out the other side.


Btw, with a 117 engine, engine overload, and a 35 speed booster you cannot turn in a Y-8 untill you slow down.





heehee, I did something like that and hit the edge of the map so hard I was at coordinate 8025 for a while.
