Roaming Fleet

Possible bug
Hi,

Great mod, thank you.

I am not sure if this is an intended feature or possible bug but...

If you have an active roaming fleet, its faction gain/rewards will overwrite whatever the player gains by doing missions.

For clarity:

I played as Terran and had a bunch of M5s roaming between Silent Witness and The Reach.

Mod was working perfectly and I was getting money and very small increases to faction rep per kill they made. However, I did an escort mining mission and received no reward for it completing.

Same with a patrol mission in Argon prime.

It appears that if you do active missions in the same faction held space that you have a roaming fleet, the game cannot differentiate between the player and the fleet and the mod script takes over the mission reward script activated by the player completing missions.

To be clear, I don't mod so this is probably completely wrong but that's what I figured could be happening.

The good news is, that simply cancelling the roaming fleet command in the faction space I am actively doing missions immediately fixed this issue so it is not a huge problem I just thought I would mention it.

I hope this helps and thanks again for the great work !

Interesting! I don't have anything that hooks into or listens to mission events at all. Bounties are only listening to ship destruction events. I wasn't able to do a ton of testing before shipping this next mod update, but I did test having a roaming fleet operating in a sector, accepted and completed a "deploy satellite here" mission and it completed with reward as expected.

So I wasn't able to reproduce but I also don't do any missions for a thorough test. If anyone else adds on to this report with the same findings I'll look more into it.

Thanks for taking the time to reply and look into.

May be another mod of mine conflicting then maybe - like I say its easily fixed so no bother and as you say, lets see if anyone else has the same issue :)
