WHat is this doing?

Post by JudgeDredd »

I have a Resupply ship and I've told it to deploy at the gas giant in the top left

As you can see it says "Deploy at Kandumar 4"

After a few seconds, it switches back to going back to Sollost 1 Space Port for refuelling.

I was under the impression they refuelled themselves at the gas giant once they were deployed...no?? I can't get the thing to deploy. I have done before, but can't now for some reason.

Well the A.I does not understand it can refuel after being deployed and is programmed to refuel at the nearest source.It has to have the fuel to reach the (non frozen)gas giant.

It surely does have enough fuel...129 fuel as I read it. And it isn't under any automation that I can see...

One very stubborn captain there.

As long as the gas giant is not frozen, it should deploy there if it has enough fuel. However, there seems to be a bug that sometimes causes it to turn back. Have you tried moving it to the gas giant first and not choosing deploy until it gets there? In any case, this behavior is in line to be tweaked to make it work better.

Erik, wherever I point the ship (even open space) it travels to the region for a few seconds, then reverts to going for fuel. I can't even get it close to the gas star (which is not frozen, by the way)

I have noticed this too, you aren't alone Judge. When a resupply starts doing this it will not do ANYTHING else. It will comply for a few seconds then try to refuel again.
