My problem is disappearing OC craft. I send a shuttle to deposit an OC on the surface of a planet. Then, if I tell the OC to go into HALT mode, it disappears from the planet. Also, if I give it waypoints, then the OC goes into HALT mode, it also disappears. What appears to be happening is the model is disappearing from the game. According to TACOPS, the OC is still on the planet. My Waypoints are still there. Also, according to PERSCAN, the crew is still alive in the vehicle. Also, I can send the shuttle down to retrieve OC. It will retrieve it, and I can re-deploy it on the planet. The OC then re-appears in the game. Yes, I tried the Support Unit Locator tab. When the OC is visible, it appears in the TAB. However, when it disappears, it disappears from the TAB too. Any other units I have on the planet remain in the TAB. I've repeated this on three different planets, including in the Training Mode Trion. I've also saved the game, exited, rebooted, and returned. The OC is just gone. I tried to add my system profile in the SIG. Hopefully, it appears.

I tried to make this post a new topic, but the forum wouldn't let me. Gee. I wonder why that would be My problem is disappearing OC craft. I send a shuttle down to deposit an OC on the surface of a planet. Then, if I tell the OC to go into HALT mode, it disappers from the planet. Also, if I give it waypoints, then the OC goes into HALT mode, it also disappears. According to TACOPS it is still on the planet, although no location is given. But, when I use TACOPS to look for it, the craft is gone. It is not where I left it. The model is just gone from the game. My waypoints are still there however. Also, according to PERSCAN, the crew are still alive and in the vechicle. I've also gone down in the CC to look and the OC is still missing. I've repeated this on three different planets, including in the Training Mode Triton. I've also saved the game, exitted, rebooted, and returned. The OC is just gone. Did you actually USE the Support Unit Locator tab in Tacops? [ 02-14-2002, 13:42: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]
