i see killer limpets are back with a vengance :( dont fly over 500m/s
- Thread starter Kenneth McGrew
- Start date
if you dont fly above 500m/s then im pretty sure the bug which occurs when you fly with collection limpets out over 500m/s wont happen
I have added this to the September Update Bugs Master List.
Thanks, i admire your optimism its been in the game for a long time just like the Dolphin heat bug, it wont get fixed - it will become a feature!
Agreed - imo if one carries limpets, the docking computer should be deactivated for the entire play session!
*Fingers crossed for Frontier's coding in the next update.
Limpets contain fissionable material and shield technogy (used for grabbing things, for example) and so not only interact with your shields reducing then to close to zero, but explode causing great damage to your hull.i did a test the other day, just not uploaded the video yet;
heres the test....
- 4 pips to SYS and using the lateral thrusters crash into a limpet at approx 100m/s no more and i lose all shields from full rings and about 10% hull
- 4 pips to SYS and face plant an asteroid at 600m/s and i bounce off with one ring of shields left..... hmmmmmmmmm
Asteroids, on the other hand, are rocks.
What I think is stupid is to expect a solid object slamming into a space craft, to simply have no effect at all.
With flight assist off.
With weapons out, in a Python.
aye yes but thats only half of the stupidity which is why its ever more so annoying
i.e - an incy teeny weeny yellow polka dot limpet weighing one ton hitting your ship does more damage (and lets not forget the limpet isnt damaged and carrys on collecting /flying afterwards) than faceplanting (a larger than a cutter) lets say ~2000t ton asteroid at 600m/s or indeed face planting a planet at 10,000m/s using gravity and still bouncing off with shields in tack.....
Just to add to the Killer limpets, it dont happen on every ship, the dolphin is immue to the death limpets the orca is not
i've Updated OP
if anyone is out mining and wants to add to the list please feel free to test this bug

dont worry a fix will be here in 2099, its called death, we will all be dead by then and stop complaining about it

Speak for yourself. My date of expiration is clearly marked as April 20, 4242
The first time it happened scared the heck outta medont worry a fix will be here in 2099, its called death, we will all be dead by then and stop complaining about it

if we could fire limpets at other ships like seeking missiles the damage wouldn't be as severe, i bet we'd need a limpet controller too!
my expiry date is merely a best before date, its only advisory.
My advisory is: "Does not not play well with others." My expiry is part of my contract with the Elder Gods.
