ursapolaris's Issues

Excessive hit force for mass driver

I noticed that when ships are hit by the mass driver, they go flying out of the solar system at a truly ridiculous speed. Is this intentional? It makes the weapon hard to use, because any ship that I attack with the mass driver flies far out of my range as soon as I hit it. It makes sense to keep the hit force high, considering how massive and fast the projectile is, but maybe divide it by 10 or something. The ships fly off the map so fast that it looks like they just disappear.

Mass driver gun causes game to slow to a crawl

I realize this weapon has custom graphics, but whenever fired the mass driver causes the graphics draw and game time to slow to a crawl. This makes it difficult to play especially around Ursa Polaris where the defense system uses that weapon to drive off constant pirate attacks. This is even on a new i7 core processor with a Nividia gpu. Watching htop shows only 2 cpu cores are used, but they are both maxed. Anyway to increase the cores allocated or otherwise improve the framerate while playing with this addon?

about.txt is the same as license.txt

The repo is also missing a Readme.md

If you'd like I can open a pull with a Readme that takes data from the steam page?

More alien outfits

I've noticed that Ursa Polaris doesn't stock Coalition or Korath outfits, both of which are (eventually) available for purchase in other places. Is there a particular reason for this? Should I look into writing some missions to add them to UP's stock?

I'm thinking that for the Coalition it might make sense for the mission to involve something non-monetary, perhaps some kind of technology trade involving Human and Hai outfits to demonstrate community and unity.

Contribution welcome?

Hello! I recently took this mod for a spin. I enjoyed it overall, so thanks for making it.

Along the way, I spotted some things that could be improved upon: writing, formatting, typos, that sort of thing.

I'm considering editing the mission files to tidy up grammar, tone, formatting, and overall flow. Would such a contribution be welcome?

Figured it would be a good idea to check before spending a bunch of time on it. 😄

"Stranded Ship" mission cannot be completed

Originally reported this in game's repo, got told that this is an issue with the UrsaPolaris plugin. So I just copy-and-pasted my report.

Describe the bug

So I visited Hestia in Talita, met with good ol' James again, we fetch his ship "Marius" on Danoa, and went to Alnitak...

But everytime I landed on Farpoint@Alnitak, game complained that I left James behind!

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start the "Stranded Ship" mission
2. Go to Danoa and board the "Marius"
3. Go to Alnitak, wait for "Marius" to arrive, land on Farpoint
4. See error

Expected behavior

Mission should've continued (or ended?) at that point.

Screenshots

Prior to landing, as you can see I have "Marius" with me:

After landing, game complains that I "left Marius behind":

System (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10 Pro version 20H2 build 19042.804 with Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0
• Game Source: Continuous Build
• Version: ae40b10

can't land for free/rep falls (spoilers)

I noticed that I wasn't able to land without 'bribing', I am not hostile with freeworlds or republic; I edited my save and saw my rep was 800ish but requires 1000 to land to I bumped it to 1000; a bit later there was a mission where someone steals like .5 billion credits and the republic turns hostile, I get out of republic space asap- but my rep still went down due to some republic ships getting disabled- so I could no longer land at UrsaPolaris for free.

It seems like there are still missions that mess with rep settings and that impacts ursa polaris. I would recommend making ursapolaris not care about rep with other factions- or make it more clear that killing pirates will increase your rep (like hostile landing message hinting towards that).

Can't complete RFP Weapons Testing after Wanderer Outfits event

If the "UPS Wanderer Outfits" event has been completed, the "UPSRnD" mission spawns ship "Corvette (RFP)" "Jaakaru" in Wei. Disabling the Jaakaru in Ildaria works fine, but when I get two jumps away, the Jaakaru has recovered some hull--inconveniently the same number of jumps to reach Wei from Ildaria.

Ursa Polaris constant reputation drop

Reputation with Ursa Polaris keeps dropping for no apparent reason.

• First noticed after winning bid for cloaking device; Ursa Polaris was refusing to let me land while trying to return with the device. Presumably, my reputation should be going up as I'm acquiring an item for the station!
• Save-editing >+10k rep isn't permanent solution either; I've had to do so 3 other times in about an in-game year
• I also occasionally perform jobs out of Ursa Polaris

Is the Polar Core supposed to do hull damage or give strength?
