ditto. obviously bugs suck, however that aside, I am so glad FD did not go for lowest common denominator implementation and put in magic ship transfer but instead put in a little more work and go for the original plan.
Well since all those calling FD incompetent haven't answered my question, I guess this isn't either a well known bug, or at minimum, a very rare and inconsistent one that only happens on the rare occurrence. I am starting to think that FD aren't the incompetent ones …….
True, I only wish we could send modules as well.
And I'd like to have some sort of very limited inventory that allows direct access to some modules. But I understand how it would be utterly unrealistic and immersion breaking, so many people would be rightfully against it. Still, it would serve my play style quite well.
um, spelt
If we're going to complain about spelling then the OP's misspelling of 'minor inconvenience' in the thread title is pretty bad
i actually think a send to station as well as a deliver from station option would be a fair compromise for everyone.
Yes, absolutely.[yesnod]
I wish people would stop trying to dairyrail this thread. [rolleyes] Besides, surely you mean 'udder incontinence' ?
A better basis for in game experience would have been to try it before the righteous mob got stirred up and then amend as needed.
However, sadly, we are where we are.
Just have to get on with it.
Live long and prosper or whatever
not at all! bugs happen, we're human. that's what qa is for ... oh wait!
no, as i also explained it's the recurrence of these sort of bugs that hints at incompetence. this is very basic stuff, so i'm not implying devs are complete idiots, they are actually quite capable, it's just that they collectively (architects, implementors and qa experts) fail to ensure very basic universal software requirements and practices. that's ... incompetence.
i've not implied anything of the sort. also, building your own engine doesn't excuse broken transactions. how about your bank tells you that next time you have to move money around and it gets lost?
you seem to take this very emotionally. be my guest, but i'm being quite objective and neutral. i could comb the bug reports and patch notes and fish out all transaction related bugs for you, the ones i've been reading for years (with a mix of giggles and facepalms) so you get a picture but ... i'm not going to do that, i hope you understand. :x
i'll give you one thing: from the description it is not really clear if this particular bug is a mishandled transaction, probably not. it could be bad ui component design or just a refresh bug, or that the 'transfer' option was just mashed together by a junior ina hurry who didn't really understand the ui logic. could be anything. still, it's broadly in the same category.
so other games are similarly buggy? well, then from a software engineering viewpoint they're incompetent too! what do you want me to say?
Let's also take a moment to look at FDev's online store that always works. Isn't that weird???? That their money making store has no bugs and works all the time? Wow how do they manage to do that when ED is a massive fail? Quite happy to take our money but not happy to make things work it would seem.
What lost argument? He just told you about transactional algorithyms - so what was wrong about that then? Let's hear what you have to say about UI logic and how it integrates to transactional queries over a P2P/hybrid network.
Are the WhiteKnights the ones that play the game while the modules are in transit or call the ship when they decide to call it a night, instead of sitting there staring at a wall doing nothing while the ships are in transit?
The fact that these posts are still here goes to show the issues aren't only with the developers. Just what exactly are these, mirror image reflections? Nothing but trolling comments and nothing whatsoever to do with the conversation.
Don't forget that ship transfer delays were only a thing after some of us here had to tell FDev that instant would break their game. So going on with the theme of incompetence, they didn't even know their own game well enough not to know this. If we hadn't pointed out the obvious, PP would have been broken, you could call in your armada right away and overpower a system, ASPs would become the only ships used to get you to your destination before magically teleporting your ships and a few other glaring errors too.
I've sat and waited for a "<1 minute" module to arrive before. It's not unreasonable to spend 10 minutes in the outfitting screen changing the loadout of some of the larger ships, and so you can expect a module to arrive whilst you're fitting other modules.
I knew it was bugged though, because after coming back to it at <1 minute and waiting for a minute, the timer changed to 8523426230423042362034234023562340230283603294802342362864290348i2093587209864720938420938608927369387409276t984379845769347693047586093845769834759605980238 minutes, and if I'd waited that long, I think my tea would have gone cold.
Nobody likes room-temperature tea.
