This is what GAMETEK wanted you to believe (Right up untill they recalled FFE from the shops). Sadly this is not the case Here is a list of all the Bugs I know of in FFE if you know of any more e-mail
Bug | Workaround | Problem |
Annoyance Factor |
Cant Save In the 28th saving place | Save Past | Bad Programming | Low |
Missles hit your own ship. | Use Time compression 3 | Missles dont get away quickly enough and hit your ship | Medium |
Cant see out of the back of my Gyr | None (There should be some way you can hack this) | The Gyr's back screen is inside the hull | Medium/High |
I shoot my own Griffin Carrier on Turret | None (You can add turrets by hacking so why not change their position?) | The Griffin's Turret Fires inside the hull. | Medium/High |
My assaination target is not there | Go back to another save game | Starbase is full so target cannot show up. | High |
The game freezes for no reason (err) | Go back to another save game | Bad Programming??? | High |
My Thargoid cargo space is stuffed | Try not saving untill you have reached a base and stocked up on shields | No beta testing | Medium |
Cant rotate the star map | Take out your Joystick. FFE was never designed for a stick and cant handle one | Not designed for J-stick | Low |
I take a mission and there are no bases in the system. | Go back a save and dont take that mission. | Bad Programming??? | Low |
I hit the planet when I am landing in autopilot | Use Full Time Acceleration | Some Bases are actually below the surface of the planet, not enough beta testing | Low |
You get -1 passengers on my passenger list, so you cant sell your ship. (thanks to Philip for this one) | Pick up a passenger to sell your ship! | Bad Programming??? | Medium |
