Bug Description:
You can get free sentries delivered from the supply shuttle without any points being spent. The drawback is that you can no longer order anything new from cargo ever again. But hey, free sentries amirite?
Steps to reproduce:
1. Make sure the shuttle is going back to central or is waiting there.
2. (Optional) Accumulate a lot of points, 800-1000 will do. Order and approve a number of sentry crates, explosives, etc. making sure to keep 30 points left.
3. Order a single collector crate and approve it. Note that this has to be in the same shipment.
4. Call the shuttle back. You'll receive the ordered things without the collector crate.
5. Ping-pong the shuttle back and forth. Every time it will bring the shipment except the collector. In fact, since the 'crates' are free you'll actually start gaining points back rather quickly.
6. Cargonia triumphant!
I'm not sure what happens if you order a new shipment with another collector crate at the end. It might be possible to 'reset' the free shipment but I haven't tested that yet.

Re: Free sentries
Thay is a lot of sentries.

If I see this bug being abused I'm going to use that handy "Delete-All" verb.

cmon admins, how about fixing the root cause instead of just ignoring it?

I think that they might be fixing it at the moment so just be patient.WyattH wrote:cmon admins, how about fixing the root cause instead of just ignoring it?

The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.

Yeah, the dev staff is always busy, so it'll be fixed soon(tm), but in the mean-time, staff need a way to damage-control people who do abuse this.coolsurf6 wrote: I think that they might be fixing it at the moment so just be patient.
