sally, please, throw me a bone. are they working on the xg9 lance bug? where the ai will not shoot an interceptor if it is flying it? along with the ammo bug where for some reason the xg9 lance only has one shot? keep in mind i cant verify if its in horizons but can verify it is in odyssey. the devs accidentally fixed the single shot firing shennanagins with the xg9 lance

I remember this from past chats and it being a bit of a combo of bug and further clarity needed. Im going to need to circle back on it some more alongside the other bits.

What you doing here on a Saturday night you need to be getting ready for the imminent console launch ;)

Haha, naw I'm here actually off duty after getting a bit distracted by what you've all been saying, and ended up sticking around after I popped in earlier to say about the servers being a bit blinky.

Just about caught up now! Off duty though. Off duty.
 
@sallymorganmoore I tried filing an issue over the holidays regarding missing entries in the journal but the issue tracker was not working. Is that resolved? Or is there an alternative place to report this?
The issue tracker worked over the holidays as well as it normally does. Which is not very well.

There's a known issue (that is, we players know about it - Frontier may well not) where in some browsers in some configurations, some of the compulsory bug report fields don't actually display on the web page, and therefore you can't actually submit the bug. If you try a different browser (or sometimes the same browser on a different computer) the problem goes away and you can report the bug.

All part of ensuring that the total number of successfully reported bugs remains low, and the total number of actual bugs remains high.

Frankly, I'm out of patience with the bug tracker. It's quite clearly by now intended to reduce the number of bug reports making it through - with things like the ridiculous 10 confirmation requirement, the expiry window being shortened to a single month to get those 10, the lack of basic features every other bug tracker in existence has like emailed updates, visible usernames, acceptance of standard ASCII characters in report text - and I feel sorry for the Community Managers who have to deal with the sharp and pointy consequences of that every single working day.

Just saw another setup.
People arrived in group in 1 Anaconda from Bubble to Colonia. They can do it, right? 4 shiny sits, Odessey all that.
Now, they cannot buy a ship in Colonia because they need to deliver their current ship from bubble (60 hrs + big money).

I have no words for that...

What about Jaques Station?

So, have you tested it then? It is absolutely mandatory for a player to transfer/rebut their currently active ship to a station before being able to access InterAstra?

It was so for me on short distances in bubble couple times too, yes. For example you dead, spawn on station and only option you have - transfer ship, then they start to talk about to sell.

IIRC after issuing the transfer order, one can switch ship... which is quite an interesting thing that (IMO) constitutes an exploit around ship transfer mechanic

That was there in chat, commander told the story of his travel.
Upd: they got work-around. Ordered active ship delivery and relogged to Horizons. That teleported ship to Colonia.

exploit proven.

exploit proven.
Rather bad design. Because they have to keep loging allowed horizons/odyssey. However. If user logouts on-foot in ody and logs-in horizons, it could do free loaned sidewinder on stations, or current ship on planets.
