bug reports: mission enemies not hostile, weird damage effects

[warlock]

had this problem in all the oxford missions and now the palan/murphy ones - mission enemies aren't marked hostile. in the oxford missions, this wasn't much of a problem, just meant i couldn't use H to target the bandits until i killed one or two. now in palan/murphy 1, i'm intercepting reinforcements for the blockade... except there are no reinforcements and no blockade; the game didn't generate *any* demons around palan.

(meanwhile a kamekh and an escort wing of gothri sail blithely by way off to my 8 o'clock low)

second bug: after quitting/reloading the game a few times, i found friendly merc demons near palan. as soon as i took out a couple, the rest turned hostile and more started spawning in. i took some damage and my radar (b&s omni) went monochrome. when i landed, however, it wasn't offered up as a repair option. i fixed everything else, fixed 'basic' stuff (your ship has no damage, no charge), and then relaunched. still monochrome and the repair screen showed 100% on it. eventually, i had to sell it off and rebuy it to fix it.

My Radar went out too, same issue with repairing it

My radar also went out on me. Mine not only went monochrome but it also would not let me toggle navigation points. I had to have visual then it would recognize what it was.

It showed as damaged when I landed and I fixed it even though I have a repair droid. (useless hunk of metal that he is)

Now my screen that shows my hull and shield damage levels has static in one quad as though something is broken, but nothing shows as broken.

I'm not encountering any wierd damage effects, other than my stuff never gets damaged... the only time I take hull damage I'm dead three seconds later so there isn't time to notice anything screwy. On the other hand, I am seeing the "friendly enemy" effect and it's not making me happy. In other bugs, Oxford 3 is a LOT of trouble because there haven't been any randomly generated wingmen for any of the 20 or so times ive tried it, and when the Demon's pilot AI goes into an afterburning corkscrew the moment I target it, and as soon as I untarget it does a straightline charge and ram on the Drayman... covering it is a difficulty.

see, mine didn't show as damaged at all.

Now my screen that shows my hull and shield damage levels has static in one quad as though something is broken, but nothing shows as broken.

the basic repair option fixes that, but is rather expensive...

radar

Does anyone know a solution for the "radar bug" ??.In my case it went that way - got ass kicked at O3 , respawned took the mission again and finished it , and after a few missions i figured that i have no radar , both in status and upgrades screen , but the radar works ok eg. auttotracking etc. and can be repaired by basic repair , but i'm afraid that someday i'll be kicked one more time and the radar will go off permanently
(of course i cannot buy a new one because "invisble" radar can't be sold)

I noticed that after I take heavy damage, sometimes a new upgrade category shows up called "Damaged" The Items under this category are printed in black, so they can't be read because the background is in black as well. Maybe you need to check that category to find your radar. If this isn't where it is, I guess that might be a real bug. I guess the developers can then take my post as a suggestion to change the font of the completely trashed upgrades from black to a different color, like gray, so the items can be seen easier.

"radar bug"

No that was something diffrent then , my radar was invisible on all screens that would affect him but worked v.good just when i got ass kicked heavily for the second time he started working badly- but I'VE FOUND A SOLUTION :the hull has to be selled and new radar can be bought then !!
