[BUG] Bugs, glitches and other disasters

autojoin, Rapture "steal" ability, Occulus explosion, antialiasing, Herald texture

from Sins Forums

1) explosions: Occulus starbase

Sometimes it just detonates with one or two very small explosions. I have no idea if its related to some dynamic grapic setting tryign to conserver resources. Its not always, but it happens occasionally. I think a starbase should go down in a glorious boom. Its kinda disturbing the experience a bit.

2) fleet grouping: autojoin, Rapture

a) If autojoin is disabled and a fleet is in the gravity well ships get added to the fleet regardless.

b) if a Rapture "steals" frigates they also join the fleet (autojoin disabled) and even worse: some ships belonging to the fleet LEAVE the fleet.

You might really look a bit into fleet behaviour, there seems to be quite some inconcistencies.

3) antialiasing

It was mentioned already but for the sake of completion i mention it again. If you use antialiasing and zoom out, sometimes, from a certain angle you get artifacts.

It kinda spoils the otherwise impressive optics quite a bit.

4) Advent Herald

The textures seem a bit blurry if you zoom out wich is kinda strange because close up it seems okay.

I have noticed that the burst rockets on gauss cannons tend to fire when strike craft are in range. It was impossible to tell if htey were hitting the strike craft (which would be preety epic)... but they definatly were not hitting ships.

Also Aeria Drone hosts seem to be accompanied by squadrons of homing mines. Not that the AI would place them.

Are the ships leaving the fleet illums by any chance? It always confused me until I realised they were just illusions, not actual ships...

All kinds of ships, but good thinking there. I had it happening to stolen pirate flaks and Guardians as well. And stolen ships also autojoin with autojoin off (i suspect at that point random vessels get thrown out of the fleet). Those fleets were in close formation, maybe thats important for reproducing the bug.
