Description of issue

Patrol vessels have several hardcoded mechanics or game bugs. These issues cannot be solved within the scenario and should not be reported here.

• Patrol vessels can be invisible or their location desynced. Traveling to the location of the radar ping for the vessel may resync the vessel's location.
• Patrol vessels might not show on the HUD even if you look directly at them and ping your detector.
• Patrol vessels can take less damage when shot at from behind. Bug report: https://empyriononline.com/threads/inconsistent-weapon-damage-against-moving-ships-00069.99606/
• Patrol vessels can be difficult to salvage, damage, or enter even when disabled. Try placing your own core and turning off thrusters, or waiting for it to settle in place before attempting to board.
• Patrol vessels will despawn if their original core is removed and they leave render range for any reason. Keep a decored patrol vessel within render distance until you have looted and salvaged, even if you placed your own core on it.
• Patrol vessels can get stuck on asteroids, POIs, or other patrol vessels. This can cause massive FPS loss down to single digits. Leaving the area and coming back later may unstick the vessels.
• Patrol vessels spawned as part of the space defense system will warp out if they are disarmed and self destruct if they are disabled or lose their core. Patrol vessels spawned as part of a mission will self destruct if they lose their core.
• The space defense system may break and continually spawn infinite reinforcements. Avoid that area or remove all nearby POIs using console commands (on servers ask an admin).
• Patrol vessels may move at full speed even with only a single thruster left. Destroy all rear-facing thrusters to force the ship to a complete stop.
• Patrol vessels may turn on a dime even if they are dreadnought size.
• Patrol vessels may stay in place and not move.

Thank you for your report! These issues are likely game bugs and will need to be reproduced and reported using a vanilla save game. When reproducing a game bug in a vanilla save, make sure you are using the same mode (singleplayer/co-op/dedicated multiplayer, survival/creative) as what you were using when the issue happened in the scenario. To see a list of known game bugs or to report a new one please see: https://empyriononline.com/forums/bugs.24/
