Title: Land noobie question Post by: thorzog on November 17, 2007, 03:44:20 am When ever my lander gets destroyed I can't land on another planet. I've tried scrapping the old lander and building a new one, I've looked over the options at the Earth base for repairing it, and I've tried carrying multiple landers but I still can't land.
Is there an option to change to a different lander? Is there some reason why after my lander is destroyed it still shows up on my ship? Title: Re: Land noobie question Post by: meep-eep on November 17, 2007, 04:08:06 am There's no such thing as a damaged lander. But there are other reasons why you might not be able to land on a planet. It could have no surface to land on (a gas giant), or it may be slave-shielded.
Title: Re: Land noobie question Post by: thorzog on November 17, 2007, 04:17:54 am I've tried landing on the same planet that the lander was destroyed on and I have a second lander. Should the lander still be present in the hold after its destroyed? Cause in my game it still shows it.

Or maybe you're out of crew. I don't know for sure, but I bet if it's just Zelnick, you can't send a lander down. Title: Re: Land noobie question Post by: thorzog on November 17, 2007, 07:12:17 am Yea I have enough fuel and crew. Even went back to earth, fueled up and crewed up and destroyed the lander on Venus. I then scrapped the lander and bought a new.
One thing bothers me, after a lander is destroyed I can still see a picture of a lander on the screen above the menu, along with the Vindactor and the Spathi ship I got off of Pluto. Is this normal game behavior? Should I not see it at all? Should I not see it in the shipyard either? I might just try to uninstall and reinstall the game. This seems more like some weird error.

If it turns out not to be a bug, we'll just close the bug report again. Title: Re: Land noobie question Post by: Granknight on November 28, 2007, 08:40:46 pm are we talking of landers or earthling cruisers?
if it is near the spathi eluder it's not a lander. you must'nt go in shipyard but in outfit starship: the modules for the landers are the squares over the ship picture. Cruisers are only for attacking. Cruisers look like this one | |. ..O. ..| | | | .// .\\ . | | | | . . . . . | | | | . . . . . | | and it's the one you see near the spathi, landers are much smaller and you can see them only in the window "outfit starship" .

Just below the name(s) are little blips. Those are landers. |
