Many of these bugs you mention have been fixed for 009. Some have not.
Lol! That's what brought this whole thing up
Notably tractoring in upgrades is space salvage for a reason: otherwise you could get rich quick... if I blew up a car...I couldn't just grab the burnt-out engine and sell it for anything but salvage.
No, but you might be able to sell the stereo for something. Either way, I'd suggest that things which are going to be treated as salvage ought to be labelled as salvage before I go to the trouble of tractoring them in. As it stands, it's misleading.
We fixed the plot related stuff... now they actually do attack and protect each other, etc--at least they should. The characters will refer to nonexistant stuff in case we ever add speech.
My solution to this would be to add in the things they're referring to. I understand the logic of keeping things tied to the speech, but would it be possible to have the game place a nav point at a random place in the system whenever a mission calling for that nav point is accepted?
Factions will still get chummy if you continually blow up their enemies.
It wasn't "blowing up their enemies" so much as "not blowing them up". I went into the interior systems for a while just to see what I could see, and when I got back to Gemini the cats and pirates had gone from hostile to friendly.
You can use 'h' to target a hostile craft even though eject may be next in line.
Yes, but when I'm being shot at, taking my finger off the afterburner key so I can get a fresh target seems like a really bad idea, and that h key is a looong way away.
What typos... that's not gonna help.
As I mentioned, one of the randomly generated mission cargos is a bunch of robots classified as "electroncis". There are also a number of typos in the news reports, but I was being general, so I'll get back to you with specifics.
Most cargo should have descriptions--if not add it to the master_part_list.csv
Again, I was being general, I'll get back to you on the ones that don't.
all upgrades should have auto-calculated stats--which ones don't...we don't know of any.
Off the top of my head, I don't recall seeing any stats with the repair systems or ecm or gun coolers. I will make a proper list for specifics.
Cargo missions to take starships around were designed for users with large ships--like paradigms--now that those are out, those missions are kind of moot...maybe we should remove them.
Yeah, probably. Either that or increase the cargo space on the Drayman (I'm in favor of the latter and it makes plenty of sense, but I'm not a dev)
The demand thing is fixed. The briefings will tell you the category--we can pretty-print it.
k.
Confeds will always attack hostiles unless they can't target them for whatever reason--I've yet to see one continue a patrol otherwise....
maybe they're far away and you can't tell that they are slowly coming.
I suppose that's possible.
Text wrapping in the base--was a low priroity (in the mission computer it already works)--you really thing we should delay 009 for that? it's possible to do.
ahem:
this means we need to wait until we're good and ready before releasing it
I'd suggest you fix everything you possibly can. Once 009 is released publicly, I can almost guarantee you a fresh pile ofbugs will arrive.
I'm glad to see people trying all the different mission types though, so thanks.
The rest of the post was somewhat tangential, hence the "no urgency whatsoever" disclaimer. It just seemed like a good place to put a lot of varied ideas.
