WTF plasma storm

Post by febtiger »

I just bought this game and it is very fun but for some reason I broke it or am stupid.

So on a couple occasions during Easy mode with a kestrel, I go into dreaded plasma storm.
There is no damage to my ship, all systems and subsystems are working, all doors closed, I have a guy manning the cockpit pilot thing and basically there's nothing wrong with my ship. But I cannot FTL jump out and the oxygen always starts decreasing even though O2 systems are powered. I have no idea what to do; I then try to route all power out of my systems in hopes of doing something to get out but I still can't get out of this goddamn plasma storm!
Oxygen drops to 0%, everybody dies, THE END.

I missed a key point in how to play this game. Help please

Plasma storms lock up your power, not damage your ship. In a plasma storm you have a small pool of power to use on your systems; it probably de-powered your life support and engines without you noticing.

If you checked and it was green, you might have had some graphics glitch or something.

Thank you for the quick reply.

It was a graphics glitch as you said and after a couple clicks I got the game working again on my recent test-plasma storm.

Thank you!

You might want to submit a bug report and try to grab some screenshots of it in action.
