Starmade | Other players see weapons fire when using docking beam or charging/using jump drive
Open, LowPublic

Description

When using docking beams, other players see weapons fired on ships, even though the pilot of the ship is just using a docking beam or charging/using Jump Drive. This causes massive FPS drops and may cause players to mistake it as actual weapons fire. The pilot of the ship sees everything functioning normally (as in seeing a docking beam used or charging jump drive without any weapons fire effects.)

Systems affected:

  • Most commonly fired weapons and support systems (for an example a salvager can be seen firing salvage beams when docking), heard rumors of others seeing missiles or cannons/beams fire if those were fired prior to docking.
  • Jump drive, other players see weapons/support systems fire when charging/using jump drive.

This bug is common to at least a few of the lastest versions of the game.
