Title: Derelict Bug?
Post by: Admiral Nelson on May 16, 2004, 05:07:13 pm

SPOILER

Spoiler:

I can't seem to get past the first subspace mission (in which the Lucifer appears).
First, the support ships which arrive all show as hostile to me. The wingmen dock with them but seem never to be able to undock.
Second, I kill everything but the mission neer ends. I never get a jump order, despite all the 'clear the node' stuff. The medical ship never leavs the tunnel, either. What the hey is going on? ANy ideas?

Hmmm. The wingmen are actually getting captured by those hostile support ships - kill 'em before they dock.

As for the "clear the node" bit, I can't remember (haven't played derelict for about 18 months). Try just jumping out once all the directives listed are done (ie they've turned blue). Beyond that, I'm not sure....

Hope that helps :)

Thanks, Pyro, I'll give it a shot.

Witrhout voice acting its easy to miss some things. I opeend the mision in FRED to see the dialogue, and then i realized what was happening.... :)

Use the Alt-Pause and Pause keys in-game. That really helps.

Or what's even better, use F4 and switch to 'Messages' - That's the way I test my missions.

Yes, that's how I catch up on dialogue that occurs while I'm fighting for my life trying not to get shot down.
