SSP Released

The South Seas systems are live on the server. However they are in "BETA TEST" phase so you may find issues with them.

If you do then please post all issues in this thread and we will address those as quickly as is humanly possible.

Thankyou

On Druid rock if hit the Ship dealer tab you ctd. It happened to me twice. Was in a baset

Docking at Planet Junyo since SSP release has caused me to CTD. This has not occured to me previously.

Got another one. The spectre engine animation when stopped causes lag and totally obscures the screen.

Also the info card for New Mumbai says it sells 5 ships. This isn't possible so only three show up. The info card also says that New Mumbai is a gas giant.

The "New Bengal Valari" apears as the "New Java Pedang" on New Rangoon.

CTD when docking at RNY802B within dockingmovie, nomad-npcs around

had the same CTD like Realm at Druids Rock

The Valari issue is resolved for next update. Just linked to the wrong info card.

The engine trail issue is also fixed. I tried something new and it clearly did not work so I have just reverted to a standard Robot LF Engine effect to avoid further issues.

CTD undocking from Planet Rangoon.

CTD when undocking from New Kuala Lumpur in the mantis

The CD on the mantis hovers just above the ship and isn't actually connected.

Should be sorted next update. Let me know, if lowering it does not sort I'll move to a totally different part of the ship.

Nice choice by the way. Anyone who really knows their FL will tell me where its from.

Docked at Cox's Sun Sales / Then Uncle Sams / then CTD when docked at Doggie Dusche
Came back in and had NP docking there - CTD happened when launched though
NP at the last one but only looking at ships

Did it again - CTD in New Andaman
Came out of the New Bengal JH - selected the Varangarian BS and hit Dock - CTD

could you see which npc-faction was docking?

the merc-bs should not be dockable

No - it was not a NPC - it was me

I knew it wasn't a station - but I was curious. Have not looked to see if any new stations were added so when I saw it - I selected it and hit dock without looking.

It was the closest BS to the JH - I did not try the other one.

thanks for the info

Iggy made his way to New Java and found the New Singapore Station. The station is undockable (shown as neutral). Is this right or should it be dockable?

I was told the intent was for New Java to be a Dead System when I asked.

The infocard contains all the information you need.

I am really wondering how Iggy managed to make it to New Java. Since I was first there - The Straights of Malacca have become one continuous mine field. I left New Rangoon intending to go to Kuala Lumpur and could not find a way to get there.

I tried going over it / Under it / and also all the way around it. No obvious entrance or indicators to where it could be.

Oh - BTW - there is a very severe change in the appearance of the Straights if you go around them. It looks like a normal Mine Field from the South and East - but as you go over the top - there is a transition. See these Picts

The Location did not show up - but it was almost directly North of the New Java JH

It stays like this until almost due West of New Rangoon

This is about where it ends - about 4 or 5 on the map

Another item - while taking these screenies - I decided to change my starting location. So I went through the JH to Bengal - waited until there were no NPCs on the scanner - Hit F1 to a different char - then F1 back to this char - went back into Andaman. Maybe a minute later CTD
That let me crash the server when I tried to come back online

Its very easy to get there once you find the entrance

Malacca straits, sppoky place that, one could easily get lost.

The Jump Gates at Druid's Rock and it's mate in New Aden

With both of them - you approach the gate and hit dock - the visuals are correct but they turn you around and take you backwards instead of forward through the gate

This is the same effect you get with a Trade Lane when it is rotated 180 degrees the wrong way. I tried rotating first one - then the other - then both of them 180 degrees. Nothing I did made any difference though.

To be honest I like this backward effect. It´s a kind of mystery. And I think it doesn´t matter if your ship goes back- or forward through it. The most important thing is you arrive at the right place.

If it is rotating and still liable to take damage then someone in a large trade ship could get wasted just lining up for the jump though.

New Java is a dead system. If you copen the Nav Map, bring your cursor over the cloud in the system and click on the "?" it will offer you as much information as you need. Also, if you only read the information on the base you were trying to dock on you would get the idea:

Quote :

When humans finally returned to New Java the base, like all else in the
system, had been destroyed by Nomad forces.

Like I said elsewhere, the SSP comes with a full story. For those who don't want to read the entire thing you can use the info on bases, planets and clouds.
