Should be pretty straight forward. I think the answers here could help the devs also prioritize certain features and fixes.

Bug reports / Can initiate a second grapple beam with one already active.[v1.1.3c][SP]
« on: March 27, 2015, 01:38:51 pm »
Game version: 1.1.3c
Game mode: Single Player
Bug Location: Space
Steps to Reproduce:
Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/Jp4lltY.png
Bug Description: This may be intended behavior. However, I don't think it is. You can initiate a second grapple beam while one is already active. If you already have a container inventory screen up and allow the first container to be collected, the second grapple will force it to close and open a new container inventory screen for the first container.
Game mode: Single Player
Bug Location: Space
Steps to Reproduce:
- Fly to an area of space where you have a fixed container (one that has/had an alien artifact).
- Destroy a ship nearby so it drops a loot container.
- Grapple the loot container but don't collect it. You need to drag it towards the fixed container but move your ship so that it keeps the container too far away to collect. I suggest a zig-zag.
- Fly near the fixed container but again, not close enough to collect it.
- Grapple the fixed container with "F" and you'll have 2 active grapple beams.

Ideas and suggestions / Add a shortcut key to undock from a base.

I suggest 'V'. It should only do anything while docked. No response if in space.

Bug reports / Exit system for Freedom is not selectable on galaxy map [v1.0.4][SP]
« on: February 19, 2015, 01:32:05 am »
Game version: 1.0.4
Game mode: Single Player
Bug Location: Galaxy Map
Steps to Reproduce: N/A
Reproduction Rate: N/A
Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/qaGc4mp.png
Bug Description: The Freedom faction quest line ends in a Xengatarn system. When you're outside of this system you can't select it in the Galaxy map screen in order to chart a course to it. Instead you get an error message "Selected Star System is currently inaccessible."
Also when you hover over it, the popup displays "No Access" in red letters.
However if you travel to an adjacent system, you can manually jump into it. So it is accessible and it needs to be accessible to complete the game
. This doesn't stop you from finishing the game since manual jumping works.

There is also another bug that I believe is directly related to this one so I will add it here. When you are inside of this "exit system" you also cannot chart a course to any other system on the Galaxy map screen. There are no error messages.
When you click on another system, it will highlight with the revolving yellow reticle but no path will be drawn and the "autopilot" button does not appear. Also the current system you're in (Costan Theta in this case) is not highlighted as well. You have to manually jump to an adjacent system and then you can use the autopilot and chart a course normally.
I have a game save I can upload if you need to test it.

Bug reports / Unstable game "disconnects" towards end of game in combat [v1.0.4][SP]
« on: February 15, 2015, 11:41:08 pm »
Game version: 1.0.4
Game mode: Single Player
Bug Location: Space
Steps to Reproduce: N/A
Reproduction Rate: 5%
Screenshot: N/A
Bug Description: I'm finding the game gets rather unstable starting when I use ships with 3 or 4 laser weapons. Sometimes when I fire them and hit an enemy ship the game will freeze for a few seconds. If it doesn't stop at this point then it continues with my ship "jumping" in space as it realigns with the server. Otherwise the game client or server thinks the other disconnected and they give up (I read a bit of the logs).
Possibly related also is I notice the interface can take longer to load when you bring up the inventory, system map, and galaxy map screens. I basically feel I can predict when the crash is incoming by this. I think there may still be a memory leak in the client as I see these things come up after playing for a bit.
One time this happened I had just beat the game and after I loaded the save again and started over, the game disconnected when I attacked the very first pirate I encountered. I'm fairly sure the local server was ended and restarted when I finished the game, however I didn't close the client during this.
Here's my last set of logs from a crash: link

Bug reports / Liberation mission, wingman becomes hostile and attacks your ship.
« on: February 08, 2015, 07:49:35 pm »
Game version: 1.0.2
Game mode: Single Player
Bug Location: Liberation mission
Steps to Reproduce: Attack your wingman during the Liberation mission.
Reproduction Rate: 100%
Screenshot: N/A
Bug Description: The wingman becomes very unhelpful when they get between you and enemy ships. It will become hostile to you and attack you until you jump into another star system. It will reset to friendly then. This is troublesome also because I'm in hostile territory with powerful enemies and (right now) he does a high amount of damage to me. His armor is also very high so I can't kill him before he kills me. I basically can only run away and reset him. Ideally the wingman should be blocked from being hostile ever.

Ideas and suggestions / Consumables automatically stack when equipped and then picked up or purchased.
« on: February 08, 2015, 05:25:37 pm »
If I have a structure repair consumable already equipped I'd like the game to automatically stack any new structure repair consumables I pick up from crates or the shop in the equipped slot. If the equipment slot is already at max number then go ahead and dump it into the inventory. If the stack action is going to go over the max, then only stack the number up to max and put the remaining count in the inventory.

If I go back into the settings and re-enable "Pause on Minimize" the game returns to normal. I can record a video if needed.

Ideas and suggestions / Set autopilot destination while docked
« on: February 08, 2015, 04:11:15 pm »
I'd like to be able to set the autopilot destination while docked at a base. Right now the game says I must undock to set it. Is there a reason you want us to undock to set the destination?
Ideally this would allow us to set it while docked. Then undock. Then press X to go.
