[3.30 beta 1] Wares lost after station hack despawn too quickly
Posted: Tue, 30. Jun 20, 03:21
Hi,
No save, it was too late, so I'll describe what happened.
I got a notification of a Hack at one of my stations. I instantly paused the game and checked it out. Sure enough an SCA Plunderer Phoenix Vanguard was right next to my station and my wares, tens of thousands of them, were strewn around the area. I ordered my Destroyer Group - who were right next to the station - to take out the Phoenix. Meanwhile I ordered another ship to collect all wares in area. I then hit the Pause key again to resume the game.
The problem is that ALL my wares despawned at once, about five seconds later. I've lost literal millions of credits in the space of ten seconds.
Note: the wares are definitely lost, as I can see the storage graph tanking for each ware when I examine it.
Prior to v3.30 I've successfully collected most of the dropped wares - I generally keep a couple of M-Class Transporters around just for this reason. However, the wares despawn MASSIVELY too soon now.
In summary:
1) Alerted to station Hack - game paused instantly
2) Ordered attack on Pirate Destroyer
3) Ordered ships to collect my Wares
4) Resumed Game.
5) Five Seconds later ALL my dropped wares vanish.
Ware loss verified in Storage Levels statistics.
Really, a Station with Cargo Drones should retrieve any lost wares automatically, not that this would have helped in this case.
Scoob.
