Save Game ruins enemy Ion Storm Effect?

Postby WealthyAardvark » Sun May 04, 2014 4:49 am

I had needed to save and quit the game during an Ion Storm battle against a Rebel Rigger. When I reloaded the file, the Rigger seemed to no longer be affected by the Ion Storm effect. Whereas previously it only had its Heavy Laser powered and no shields, now it had also powered one layer of shields and its Small Bomb weapon. I can't actually tell if this is a glitch or not because I can't inspect the enemy ship. It's possible that on the reload it had changed its power setup to depower the engines and drone system or something, but the system display for the ship lists everything as green (having power) now. Seems glitchy to me.

Attaching the save file, but it's already been Save and Quit 'd once more, since I needed to back out to get the file in the first place. Launching this S&Q 2 still has the same effect on the enemy ship.

Thanks for the report. I'll check it out.

And double thank you for the save file. Sounds like it'll be helpful in this situation.
