main questions are .
what directx version are you using
single player or multiplayer.
1st half or second half of ship

tested in dx 11, english, single player
working from top to bottom
1st half (bow half) no explosions turning the top gas valve off then working down each one on both sides one side 4 other side 3

2nd half (stern half) no explosion side with valve in cage turning the top gas valve off then working down. break cage roof to turn off caged valve safely. side without the cage the same. lower section gas valve off no explosion. 2 valves 1 deck below bridge off same. gas valve on deck level behind iron door off no explosion

You just gotta love that grappling hook. :) That sounds about like the last time I did that one. Blew it up the first couple of times though. :(

ya it's great on several of the ships especially when it is at level 10

Gas Goober has TONS of gas valves. There are many places where it's like 3+ of them with all the piping being really close to each other.

You probably turned off most valves but missed one or two.

There's only 3 ways to trigger an explosion.

1. You cut into a pipe before shutting the tank off
2. You use demo charges and blow down the tank or pipe without shutting the tank off
3. You destroy the load bearing support for the wall the tank and pipe is mounted on, again without shutting the tank down first.

#1 is almost impossible to do by accident if you're paying attention, and as long as you shut the tank off first they become inert, then you can do #2 and 3 without consequences.

here is a video of the causes of the explosion and all the gas valves to turn off this is the more uncut version of the video

What i learned the hard way on that ship is that you should not only turn valves off, but also remove the tanks completely, or they would detonate (even if they're shut off) and destroy everything around them when you next load your game.
