List of weird things on SS

[nukey]

Here a list of all the weird things ive found while playing Starscape( all that i remember right now)

-- The escape pod moves backwards but has no engine effects

-- When you blow off all the turrets on a lvl 2 minelayer the 4 corners will either explode or it will open up. Its kind of random

--If you fire ions at one of the lvl 4 boss guns it will bounce off in the direction the gun is pointing. no matter which angle u fiire from

-- The lvl 2 minelayer seems to have a weak spot in its armour, when i use beams and fire at the top or bottom at an angle. it will die

--Super Drones- I dont no if anyone has seen these but basicalls ther drones that fire abnormally large shots, have really bright exahust trails and are launched from a larger ship, and are a tad bit larger than the normal drones. Ex-drones launched by bosses or cap ships. The zone 2-3 drones are the ones that i see most often do this but i have seen the lvl 1 drones do this once when fighting boss 1. Ive also seen the red drones do this. I have some pics but i dont no how to stick them on here.

-- If you take a ship and fit it with only lvl 4 engines and generators. then ram it continusly into a xenarch station until you die. Your ship will start exploding continusly until both you and the station have died.

--this could be normal, but i noticed that you have to destroy both the top and bottom of a jammer before you can hit the middle(learned this the hard way, resulting in the death of the aegis)

-- Lvl 3 grav beems vs lvl 1 and 2 grav beams. I noticed that even though grav beam 3 is supposed to protect gems. lvl 2 or 1 will also do that. If you catch a gem in grav beam 1 or 2 then fire on it it wont die. With the strange exception of when you use multiple beam or blaster charge ups the gem will shatter regardless of which grav beam you use.

--is it just me or do interdictors always seem to linger on the edge of the map?

--when the aegis warps out during a boss fight, you can fly on top of the aegis before it comepletly warps out. then when the aegis dissapears, your ship will get a slight bump.This works for mining barges too(not in boss fight).

--were the screen grabs on this site taken during testing stages? i can find something wrong with about 3/4 of all the pics.

--sometimes a pop up will occur when im playing SS. After i get back to playing SS. The grahics look all weird. firing effects and explosions look like either gravitrons, the aegis, or some other ship. (i have pics of this too)

Thats all i can think of right now. If you've found something weird, feel free to add it to the list.

How about when the shade effect makes it looks like you lost a wing off the devastator(i have a nice pic of that), when a worm runs right through you when youre docking, and how when your undocking you can go right on top of an asteroid.

Mainly visual things that have no real gameplay repercussions.(unless youre stupid enough to launch a ship with 1% health into a very close asteroid field)

Edit: The resource bars also draw over the mouse in the r & d things, im not sure if this was intentional or not

Heres an annoying one for me personally, the game turns off numlock, which i leave on for stuff. Also, my full v isnt remebering that i like my game in a window, but the demo i have elsewhere does, which is quite annoying, and i cant remember how to fix it. Also, when you have a devestator loaded with blaster 4's, the fully charged animation only appears on one side of the ship, which looks a little akward, since it the charge anim is on the full ship.

I found a real error this time

Ok, when the mining barge has a resource in its beam, the mineral is completely invulnerable, you cant shoot it or crash into it. This isnt the error, thats the way the game works.

However, if the barge jumps out of the system while it has the mineral chunk in the gravity beam, the invuln state reamins, and you have a mineral that you can fly over, shoot through. Im not sure whether you can pick it up with your own beam though, because it was on my "no mineral challenge", and i hadnt saved in about an hour...


I'll try messing around with some things to see if i can pinpoint whats causing the numlock thing.
