So I was fighting in the arena. Destroyed all Gladiators with relative ease with my Manticore.
Helped rescue mr. Katami with Kate and all that was left as to fight the slicer.
So off i went, but something went horribly wrong. Somehow while the Slicer was already firing at me i was docked again with the arena, The dockscreen again offered me the chance to fight the slicer. His shots and missiles began slamming into my hull, while I furiously undocked. Only to meet my untimely end in a big explosion, ripped apart by the slicer.
For further testing i decided to resurrect and spawned directly next to the arena, where the last shots of the slicer were still hitting the arena wall. I turned towards the end of the arena and ..... nothing happens, i can turn but not move. Cannot fire any weapon or missile, cannot look at my inventory or screens, all i can do is turn. Targeting does work but that is it.
Apparently the game still thinks I am docked, or trying to dock. I pressed D and got the message: Docking cancelled. After that my thrusters work, but the ship still cannot move. It is possible to fire my weapons and have a look at my inventory.
Will have to start a new game to do further testing.
Fixed in 1.9 Alpha 3. The problem was, as you discovered, that saving the game inside a dock screen does not work properly: the player ends up locked up as if docked.
I made two fixes:
- When loading a game, we make sure we're undocked. This will fix your game if you reload with 1.9 Alpha 3.
- There was a regression in 1.9 Alpha 2 that caused us to not undock after accepting the Slicer fight. I fixed this too.
