Title: Asteroids in Silent Threat missing white targetting boxes
Post by: Uninvited on January 13, 2007, 09:47:52 pm
I'm on the mission where you have to guard the Iota ships through the asteroid belt and the shivans periodically attack.

However, once the shivans first came in, I targeted them and blew them up. All of a sudden, any white target boxes to indicate which ships were on a collision course with the Iotas were gone. The Direction and distance indicators at the edge of the screen were still there, but once I had the asteroids visible, there was no box around them, even though my wing men would shoot them.

The next time (2nd) the shivans came, I targeted them again. I noticed that while I was targeting a shivan, the white boxes were back around the asteroid. As soon as I blew up my target, the white boxes were gone again.

This led to Iota 1 being triple teamed by 3 large asteroids at once. Cool to watch.

Aha!  I've noticed that Iota 1 gets more than its fair share of asteroids in FSO compared to retail, but I haven't been able to figure out why.  This is the first new piece of information I've gotten so far.  Can you report this to Mantis?
