Comms in transit bug

Post by Mitchs98 » 17 May 2016, 15:52

Bug Description:

Right what it says on the tin, marines in transit on the Rasputin and possibly the pod can't receive communications. Unknown if they can send. I'm treating this as a bug because it's never done it before.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Board Rasputin and launch
2. Try to use comms
3. Fail, proceed to cry

It's been implemented for a reason I guess.. You're flying like what.. One thousand kilometers per hour to the ground? Shouldn't catch up with comms.

Signed up just to say that no the shuttle isn't outrunning radio waves don't be silly.
The thing is even IRL spaceships during atmospheric re-entry lose coms with ground control because of the plasma sheath* surrounding their craft blocking all transmissions. I think there are ways to cancel this out but I'm not sure and dont feel like looking it up.
I always thought it was a nice touch for immersion and would like it to stay.
*Basically big fire ball around spaceship blocks coms
