| Summary | 0000939: Crazy subsystem rotation bug | ||||
| Description | I have noticed a funny bug, I am not sure if this is our fault or a bug in the RC1: With my build, when you increase time compression, one of the EA Explorer vessel starts rotating as if it were a part of the other. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | - use recent Zathras, modeltest mod and current RC1 SSE build - load the model test mission - look towards the EA Explorers - increase time compression | ||||
| Additional Information | My money is on a code bug. If yes, please create a mantis entry there. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

I don't think this is actually a bug. If you look at the ships at mission start they do the same thing but then stop. What is happening here is the 2 ships are colliding. Cap ships check spheres not actual contact and since the ships are so long they have a big sphere radius. So the engine sees it as a collision and since it hit a rotating object it moves in that direction. You can verify this by targeting a ship and see that the hull value is blinking as if it is being hit. Now why it happens more often when time compression is enabled I have no idea. That part may be a bug. |

Definitely a collision code issue. Like many others not fixable without a complete rewrite of the collision code which isn't going to happen anytime soon. |
