departure cloud on the ground?

hmm, cloud "moves" relative to the system, not a nearest planet/object?

[lwho]

Probably also related to #2376 (AI ships are jumping directly over the starport).

[fluffyfreak]

Yeah they can jump as soon as they launch which for slower ships can mean they're still just above the pad!
We really need those hyperspace jump rules :(

how to reproduce:

• Start new game
• If the NPC ship is standing on second launchpad, then wait... (time acc. X1)
• else start new game :)

In this way I had this accident a few times

This is the solution: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15391580/Pioneer/TradeShips.lua

@walterar, I tested:

• load game: http://www.speedyshare.com/7ZHEt/1cloud2
• time acc. X1 and look (~ 30 seconds, marking unnecessary) NPC HB-4669
  
• finally

but it also happens without your fix :)

here NPC had time make a jump (without walterar fix)

• load http://www.speedyshare.com/zGtGF/cloud22
• time acc. X1
• wait ~30sec.

"but it also happens without your fix :)"

Sure, I had forgotten that. That's another problem, but also has a solution.
I updated TradeShips.lua with the solution for this too. Download it again. :)

[walterar]

Actually, I'm re-writing TradeShips.lua. Those are some of the problems solved (the more serious), and is working well a long time ago in the latest releases of Pioneer Scout Plus.

Now I check my saves with your fix, works fine for me.
Though still HB-4669 can not start properly (moves on the ground :)

This didn't crop up for me yet.

Assuming this is outdated. Closing for now.
