Bugs and Issues
Report them here.

Know Issues::


Exploding Rail (corrected)
Launching with High G on the launch plane (Height setting) Combined with a High Mass on the Slide. Can sometimes cause the slide to explode when exiting the rail end with a Loader Installed.
Solution: Don't set it so high. It is better to use a multi rail setup. I will Address this issue @ a latter time. the small ship system has a tandem track and the large ship system is aligned to allow for side by side tandem setup. Both can be place on opposite sides of the ship.


Texture has pink Highlights
Texture has pink Highlights when entering LOD or looking @ some angles.
Solution: Re-texture properly is the answer. However with DX11 system coming soon I would rather focus on mechanics untill I can learn the DX11 texturing and correct this.

Failed Launch
I figured out The issue with failed launches. Its a Ball thing. If its not in motion when turned on it seams to not be influenced by gravity until the mass changes or it moves. The only other option is to make it a mass block but I fear it would be destroyed traveling the rail.
Solution: Move your ship forward some/ set forward thrust over ride/ change mass on the slide.


Again the Space Ball mechanic is buggy. sometime just turning the ball off will make it remain the same mass as it was set. It is better to decrease the mass to zero Via the hotbar shortcuts or a timer block that will do it for you.
