COMPLETLY AND UTTERLY STRANGE PATROL

gorilliamos · 08-17-05, 11:54 PM

So...... I'm sailing around out in the middle of the ocean, sunk a couple of freighters, looking for more..... when all of a sudden a flying saucer shoots out belief in the final victory brain wash rays at me and the crew......

BUG or FEATURE?

Sweet, you got any screen shots?

Lol, I though I saw a UFO in the game yesterday.

It was storm, fog heavy, raining and 15m/s winds. I went to the conning tower and saw a very bright light coming out of the clouds. It really looked like UFO or something, but it was the sun. It stayed there for about 2-4 seconds, just when I was about to take screenshot it disappeared.

I think the sun AND moon make a brief appearance until the game figures out the clouds would cover them. I honestly wish the game would do the same for the lighthouses, but that's a minor gripe

Unfortunately, if the game just didn't put the sun/moon up there when it's overcast, the lighting wouldn't be right.

Off topic, but there was a scene in the Simpsons where the clouds drift behind the moon one eerie night... that kind of stuff drives me mad.

Another was in a game called Star Trek Fleet Command II, I believe. Kind of fun, but very, very buggy. At one point, I have an Enterprise type spacecraft, and I am coming up on the big space station at Earth. The sun is about to come up, and so I think I will try to re-create the scene where there's the corona of the morning sun blazing above the curvature of the planet just as the ship manuevers around the space station. Well, as I do that, I notice that the shadows are all on the side of all the objects facing the sun. The sun: the single most brilliant object in our solar system! That bugged me so much, that I still feel the need to bring that up, even now.

I assume you disciplined your watch crew for not giving the alarm.

Subs that stay surfaced in order to make positive ID of AC sightings typically don't return from the patrol.
