Exiting alephs while boosting sometimes gives extra fuel #19

Open BackTrak opened 8 years ago

BackTrak commented 8 years ago

Reported by Tigereye on 5 Jan 2010 09:32 UTC When exiting an aleph while just running out of fuel at virtually the same time, a ship will exit the aleph with full fuel while no fuel tank is expended from the ship's cargo.

It has to be timed right: you must run out of fuel and begin the fuel reload sequence JUST as you hit the aleph.

This is an exploit and should be fixed :)

Comment by fuzzylunkin1 on 5 Jan 2010 09:33 UTC '''juckto''' Related exploit: If you're boosting towards the aleph, let go of boost and press reload just as you go through, you will continue boosting on the other side while your fuel reloads - 5 seconds free burn time, and a lot easier to do.

Comment by Andon on 12 Jul 2010 06:13 UTC Possible solution: Check the fuel level right before the ship enters the aleph, then set it right as it exits. When it sets it, possibly force a check of the fuel level for the ship's boosters, and if there isn't any, shut them down.

I've not looked at the code for this yet, so I don't know how easily the second part would be. The first would be fairly simple. I'm not sure that it would solve the problem, though, but it's worth a shot.
