Subset Games Forum

Hey all, First thing love this game and great job on it. Second thing i think iv encountered bugs that are game breaking and ruining my experience with this game.

Bug 1: FTLed into a nebula 2 jumps into game which caused all my power to begone and unable to FTL out and to make matters worse it was a fight with a Auto-Drone. Basically I died and couldn't do sweet FA about it.

Bug 2: have had this multiple times. FTLed to a beacon got into a fight with scout. When fighting said scout missles wont penetrate the shields (no anti-missile drones) and all its lasers penetrate my shields with one shot cause fire, hull breach and knocks out sub system. While my lasers always miss. Then I died.

Are these bugs or actually in-game middle figure's saying 'You shall not pass.'?

Neither of these are bugs. For the first, I'm assuming you jumped into an ion storm in the nebula, which only causes half of your ship's power to be lost, not all. Several options would have been to divert power from other systems to either ensure all of your weapons and shield were as powered up to kill the auto-drone as quickly as possible, or to divert all power away from those systems into your engine so that you could jump out.

For the second, both your ship and enemy ships gain evasion from having a crewmember in the cockpit and having the engines powered on, so you presumably simply had an unlucky shot, or there was a drone (maybe? I couldn't really tell from your post whether you were saying they had a drone or not), or they had cloaking and evaded your shots. Obviously, all of these things have ways to avoid them (don't rely solely upon missiles to penetrate shields, fire shots in volleys, etc). For their laser, it was likely the Halberd Beam (or depending on how far into the game you were, possibly the Gliave Beam), both of which are able to penetrate an L1 shield. Solution there is to either take out their weapons before they can use it on you or upgrade your shields.

They had no drones. The Nebular i had no power what so ever i couldn't divert power as there was none to divert.

No power whatsoever would be a bug - there shouldn't be any systems where you're entirely devoid of power, since, as you said, you'd not be able to do *anything* then.
