Refueling at nearest station: null

[jpwrunyan]

Has anyone else had this happen?
I tell a ship to refuel and it starts a vector to the upper left corner of the galaxy and its destination is:

Thats right. Destination nothing.
Reloading doesnt fix it. Cant work around it so I have to abandon the game.
This doesnt look like an ai issue. It looks like a bad reference.
Do you guys know about this issue? I have a save game.

I should note that in every game I play often a ship will for a split second take that upperleft vector to refuel but in the next instant it recovers and plots a course to an actual gas station.

Does this still happen if you cancel the ship's mission and reassign a new refuel mission?

If you're able to upload the savegame showing this that would be great.

Thanks

And what version are you playing? 1706?

I haven't had this problem since it was fixed in 1705 I believe.

OK, I uploaded the file as jpwrunyan_refuel_at_null_station_bug.dwg.
I just checked the auto-updater and am updating to 1706 right now.
So maybe it is no longer an issue?

Anyway, canceling and trying to re-refuel didn't help. They just wanted to always refuel at a non-existant station.

This bug did come up in earlier versions, but should be fixed in the first official update (1.7.0.6). If you still experience it with 1.7.0.6, please let us know.

Thanks for that savegame.

Looks like you have no fuel sources in your empire. So there's nowhere for your ships to refuel [X(]

In 1.7.0.6 you can no longer assign refuel missions to ships when there is no refueling location, so I cannot refuel the ship. Thus this problem (heading to top-left corner of galaxy) no longer occurs.

To fix your fuel problem you'll need to build gas mining stations at fuel locations. I can see that you have some gas mining stations under construction. You need plenty of these to alleviate your fuel shortage.

Ah so thats how that happened!
I didnt even realize I had run out of fuel! I am having a tough time getting a stable economy playing the ungari. Always missing some critical resource or another. Thanks for the tip!

Also thanks for pointing me to the 1706 update.
