Title: More small bugs..
Post by: Nic. on December 03, 2002, 10:26:42 pm
I beat the game yesterday (thanks to letting the "cyborg" fight the Sa-Matra for me, whoo-hoo!) and I figured I'd throw a few bugs on the fire that I didn't see mentioned:
  • Possibly related to the Mycon "bye sun device" bug: When the Pkunk set off to re-join the Yehat, if you go back to Pkunk-land and ask them where their ships are, the subtitle says BACK_TO_YEHAT.  The speech seems OK on this, however.

  • In cases where the screen is supposed to fade to black (VUX beastie, soft-core-pr0n-o-rama with the Syreen base commander) it doesn't.  It tries, but it doesn't make it all the way to black for alot of the colours, so you still see the characters (albeit dimmed) pushing buttons and whatnot.

  • The Syreen will tell you all about how they whomped on the Mycon at Organon BEFORE the Mycon fleet even makes it to the star system on the starmap.  Probably not a bug, actually, but kindof funny.

  • You are able to retrieve the Aqua Helix from Thraddash space before they are completely wiped out in their conflict with the Ilwrath.  I recall needing to wait until they were totally destroyed to have no ships waiting there (i.e., infinite ships before sicking the Ilwrath on them, ten ships or so during the conflict, and zero ships after destruction) I suspect I'm wrong on this one, (it's been ten years, and memory is a tricky thing) but just in case I'm not...

The last one about the Thraddash may or may not be true. I took the Aqua Helix before they were wiped out by the Ilwrath but after I sent them to try to whomp on the Kohr-Ah. Maybe it just depends on whether that planet is still within their sphere of influence? I guess a little experimentation is in order. =)

Oh, I almost forgot:
  • After allying with the Chmmr it says you have "@ RU" at the starbase, it should say "UNLIMITED RU"

  • Yehat subtitles are non-extstant, and there seem to be a slew of animation errors in their comms ("hands" not on the ends of "arms", portions of wings mysteriously detaching themselves in perfectly straight lines :) etc.)

Actually, it should read "∞ RU"

An additional font problem is the bullets for what you say yourself are star-like, rather than round, circular bullets.

Edit: The infinity symbol doesn't want to appear, so &#8734 = Infinity symbol.
