I found a very strange bug today...

I caught one of my ships in between jumps on autopilot, at the point where it had not plotted the next course yet. I activated it and told it to resume it's long range course and it set its trajectory. When I clicked the engage button it alerted me that the jump exceeded the max range limit of the navigation computer (16 lys). The course that the autopilot/starmap had automatically set was for a point 16.04 lys away... That in itself is an interesting dilemma, but what's more interesting is that my ship STILL began the timer to jump for that excessive range. So now I have a 16.04 ly jump being plotted (even though it told me I couldn't...)

I think what happened is that sometime in between the point where you got to the navigation room and then clicked "Engage", the autopilot has already set your next course. Then when you got the error, you've seen the already set course from the autopilot.

The autopilot has an error margin that is a bit more relaxed then the manual setting, just to make sure it works properly with the unlocked jump range limits, with all the modules that affect the jump ranges. I would consider it an autopilot bonus, don't worry about it.

I reported that same error to Support on the day the update was released, but I didn't get a response. Probably because we shouldn't bother ourselves with it. LOL

quite probably the same bug that allows me to pick a cardinal point and i can jump 16ly, but if i plot a nav point through the computer, my max jump is only 15.84LY

Yeah I got one where I set a course to Sol. Shouldn't have been far.  I get a message the ship is out of fuel. I look and somehow it got out into the 4th ring.  The long distance course on the graphics showed Sol when I specifically set it for Sol system in the star chart area.  I also had an issue a few days ago where I was trying to set a new course and it kept resetting it to the one the ship was on before.  This was on a different ship.

I seem to be having this same thing on multiple ships. Was going to have another going back to Sol but it keeps wanting to set the course to where I got another one set to go to.  This is just ridicules. As it stands right now chain jumping only has a limited use and while one ship is doing it, it seems the rest are just useless to even try it with.  Thanks for giving us a half assed update SirEmi.

Try initiating the 'chain-jump' from the destination instead of the beginning.

JJL: at one time I had about 10 ships on LR jumping at the same time without any problem! For me LR jumping is fantastic. A lot less micro management. I just completed mapping the new star cluster using it.

WTF!!!!!

JJL, Why are you taunting a member of the EoS?  Why are you treating a member of the EoS with this level of disrespect?

Your attitude tells me that you owe him a 'brownie, let alone a cookie'.  Please let me know when you have sent it.

(and Mata, please let me know when you receive it)

Mata was implying the chain jumping was working fine because it is for him.  That obviously isn't the case for everyone. Sorry if I am a bit rude.  I  am not in a very good mood and likely won't be for a great while.  Sargas if you really want to know why you only have to look at my facebook.

(do you have something in mind that I might have missed)
