[X3TC] Note - shipyard repair of my stolen Tyr deleted my marines

Post by IanFitzJo » Tue, 19. Aug 14, 14:33

A glitch maybe? Docked my embattled, newly acquired Tyr at Cho's Defeat SY, with a full compliment of marines, repaired it and, Hey Presto - no marines :(

Thank goodness for a recent game-save

This is an issue but the rule is recover your marines ASAP I have sold a capture with hundreds of millions of credits and time invested in marines on board and I got careless. Result instant 50 million credits for the ship and ten times the real loss in the elite marines. My bad

It still had CBLS, DiArmada. That was the first thing I checked. This time I'm going to dock my Cobra along side and get those boys off before I repair.

Get a transporter device and use it before jumping your prize away.

Ordinarily, I would have Shaun. Only on this occasion, things were still kind of hot. There were a lot of red Aegirs and Thors so I had to jump everyone out in a hurry. I donated the JD from the Hyperion I was flying, to the Tyr and fled the scene on turbo boost. Everyone got separated at that time. I figured it didn't matter. It did, but I had a decent game-save I could go back to.

Don't forget, you can pull that jump drive back as the other ship jumps. Several extra seconds can, at least, get both ships jumped out of danger.

Should be good just as Betty is starting to say "no aim".

if you were in a Hyperion why didn't you have one of your docked ships hold a spare JD. But that's a moot point at least you have a good save to go to and congrats on the capture.

hmm.
if you look at your assets (press R) and look at the marines tab.
if they're not listed there, then you sure have a mystery on your hands...

Thanks for the heads-up on that little issue, Ian. Duly noted!

Glad you had the save at had to recover from that WTF loss!

This post of yours is yet another one of those "Damb, glad I know that NOW" moments.

Truly a credit, good sir!

This game is just something incredible. The community here even more so!
