Station Bounced Radio available to survivors in Nexus

Post by Ordukai » 31 Mar 2016, 03:57

Bug Description: A station bounced radio exists in the nexus, specifically the "Quartermaster" area which is the one with the Mulebot. This allows survivors to communicate with Marines. As far as I'm aware this DOES technically belong in the bug section, haters.


Steps to reproduce:
1.Jump to Nexus
2.Look at all the doors to find which one says "Quartermaster"
3.Forget steps #1 and #2 and just go to x = 167, y = 69, z = 1
TLDR: Go back and read it. I spent time writing that, ya know.

Can confirm that this station bounced radio did manage to reach the Sulaco, as one of the marines in that round.
Addendum: Don't know if this info is helpful, or if it belongs here, but just wanted to confirm that it is an issue.

I think that's the point of station bounced radios, to be able to talk to other people who have them even if comms are down or not both on the ship/colony. Tuning in to general frequencies would be okay if you had the basic encryption for it, but the main thing is they work when regular comms are down. As a marine, I always pick one up in colony tcomm and try to radio if any colonists are monitoring.

No, the issue that was here was the fact that that one particular station bounced radio was tuned to the Sulaco common frequency, not the colony common frequency. I believe it was fixed, now, however. I'll have to check.

Can anyone confirm if this is still an issue?

Looks like it was fixed.
