Revision that this bug was encountered on: r4336

Which server were you playing on? TG-Sibyl2,

Problem Description: The singularity will EMP itself loose regularley, frequently and often. When this happens a hughe EMP blast can be seen all accros a part of Engineering. Then the containment collapses and the singularity is loose.

Why is this bad/What are the consequences?): This is bad for several reasons. 1) Solars are not able to sustatin the station alone anymore. 2) A loose singularity that is bound to break free in 2-10 minutes, at random, without a player being at fault is not fun, nor helpfull, nor an interresting mechanic 3) With the standard 8 generator-setup the containment can not be re-activated one the singularity is loose as the middle-generators will create beams that cross each other, breaking the field instantly again - thus no chance of saving the engine is currently pressent. 4) Even with middle generators removed doing so is extremly risky, deadly and considering the singularity will EMP itself free in another 2-10 minutes: Useless

Steps to reproduce the problem (remember to be specific! Those little details can save us hours of work!): 1) Finish all steps needed to start the engine 2) Start the engine 3) See baby form 4) Set PA to zero 5) ??? 6) See singulo break loose

Possibly related stuff (which gamemode was it? What were you doing at the time? I was watching the engine, crying.

Was anything else out of the ordinary happening?) The singularity got loose.

Anything else?: Solars dont give enough juice for several APC's to charge.

From johnsonm...@gmail.com on August 12, 2012 19:05:52 The shield generators are still shutting down without any apparent reason in r4380 as confirmed by myself, trubble_bass and we're still experiencing the problem on both tg-station servers.

Part of the problem is that with lighting once again draining power and the new boost to lighting intensity, the engineering APC drains quickly. This is an easy fix but the cause of the problem is still unknown.

Setting this to critical because the station requires the singularity to run but it is incapable of remaining contained.

From elly1...@rocketmail.com on August 14, 2012 10:59:11 I'm almost certain this is an MC issue or something causing it to mess up. I witnessed the emitters firing rapid bursts. the generators failing. the sigulo moving several steps at once and apcs failing shortly after. Tell-tale signs that the MC has several process()-es running.
