Interstellar ships stop in space

[Briseti]

My interstellar cargo ships have been working fine for hours and suddenly they have stopped in the middle of space. Anyone know of an explanation?

[Katieclysm]

Even if they don't have warpers available, they will still try to slow-fly to other systems. Make sure your interstellar spaceports have a strong supply of warpers with a buffer.

[arrgh]

Yeah, twenty of mine ships are now slow-boating in-between two systems, oopsie.

I wonder if this is by design though? I mean, should the ships even take off if they don't have warp fuel? The problem is, you can't just throw more vessels into the station when this happens, which means the entire station is useless until the ships arrive which can take hours.

Some confirmation checkbox in the station UI like "Take off without warp fuel" would be nice to have.

100% YES!!! I went to a neighboring system's gas giant to harvest some Fireice and next thing i knew, my entire hydrogen-fueled economy died because my transport ships thought the neighboring star system's hydrogen was better than the neighboring gas giants.

It's early access though... AI Quirks like this is to be expected. A patch would be appreciated though.

The same problem. The game really need the patch that stops this ♥♥♥♥! Ships shouldn't move to other stars without warp fuel for moving in the BOTH directions. It the worst part of the game that kills hours of constructing! Developers please help us all

[graf8787]

And we also need "other stars" control mechanism (as additional to "local" and "remote") in logistic stations interface. But it is minor

[OKOK]

Ps stop this OMG design problem.

[marf]

Does anyone known, vessels get two items warp fuel, or just in one way ?|

p/s agree what is stupid, when vessels try to perform interstellar flight - w/o warp fuel

[Choanzel]

same problem here :)
is there a bugfix (deconstruct stations?)

[Garatgh Deloi]

While it is a issue its not a bug (as in unintended behavior in the code).

But they are planning to fix the issue by adding a option for distance to the interstellar logistic stations in the near future (before the Chinese New Year holidays, which begin at February 11th).

Framework of logistics management system: A basic management framework will be setup to the logistics system. Of course, it will be still 'basic' at February that may only bring 'basic' logistic solution for you, such as the furthest transportation distance and the quantity requirement of delivering goods. The logistic system will be fleshed with the progress of game development in the future.

I was under the assumption that the vessel would take two warp cores (one for the journey there, and one back). So i'm not sure what's going on. When I checked It appeared the departing station had plenty, but the destination had none. So i'm supplying both stations with warp cores.

[CrazyOdd]

The ships going without warpers are intended. Yes, ships taking hours to get somewhere is annoying, but in some cases its better then them not moving.

Like when you dont have a solid production of warpers, but need resources from other systems to keep producing warpers.

Nah, only home station has to provide warp cores. Otherwise it would be impossible to automate interstellar supply chains. Well, maybe not impossible but still.

Anyway, I don't bother with providing warp cores on colonies and it works fine. Had to remove ships from off-world stations though.

It depends on the amount of ships and stations you have. The station that have warpers, might decide its more important to get hydrogen from the gas gigant, then the stuff from other systems.
Not to mention, ships on both sides means double throughput

Another tier of "intergalactic" ships and dock would be nice, that way we have planet, solar system, and galaxy level transports. I made a post about it.

it a good idea. the current problem is no able to local system transport. this will prevent secondary system from having their own transport network.
