| Summary | 0014683: Attempting to raid pirates throws non-fatal exception | ||||
| Description | When attempting to raid pirates for loot on the Evuck homeworld in the attached save, the game throws an exception (caught at the logging / chat level) and displays the message "You've lost contact with your destination! (No Defense Armadas!)" There are plenty of defense armadas at the current planet, and at any rate I figure an "uncaught" exception is unintentional. Steps to reproduce: * Load attached save * On the Evuck homeworld, under Friendly Actions, attempt to raid a pirate fleet for loot. * Figure if the the gods are intervening on behalf of the pirates, they're probably really nice guys that should be left alone, so you go do other stuff. Worth noting / mitigating factors: * While typing this up, when I attempted to go back and obtain the error message, the encounter worked as expected. I am not sure why. * This game was created under 1.002 or 1.003 (inclined to think the former, but not sure). Since then it has sufferred from a few other glitches, especially wrt displaying stations when they are constructed (I couldn't get a good enough grasp or have enough time to post a ticket for this defect, but you should be able to observe from the same save if interested). Point being that this error may be due to inconsistencies caused by earlier errors and may not occur in new / more consistent games. * After the exception is thrown, no planet has a "You are here" message attached. It appears that the player will fly to a new destination from the last place s/he was before the Evuck homeworld. Regardless, this seems like a ripe opportunity for violating assumptions / invariants of the simulation (e.g., "the player is always SOMEWHERE"). | ||||
