Bug of the Rocketship

  • Ahoy ye scurvy dogs!
    My brother and I were playing the beta and encountered a most interesting bug. We we're a two man crew hunting treasure so we could buy all the shiny trinkets. Towards the end of our adventure we decided to sink our ship in port via a powder keg my brother found. We set course to crash full speed into the outpost with the powder keg on deck.
    As we we're approching our collision I jump off the ship, treasure in hand and turn it in. The powder keg was detonated and we assumed, incorrectly, that the ship would sink. As my brother was going down with the ship, on it's deck (he jumped back on), I exited the shop to watch the show. Right when the ship dipped under the ship blasted off into the air sending my brother skyward with it.

    TLDR: Sinking ships in shallows near the docks causes the ship to blast off into the sky.

  • That's odd, i did something similar yesterday and had no problems.
    I scuttled the ship at a pier and had my character dancing on the roof over the sloops map table.
    The ship was just sliding into deeper water from there, just the character still kept dancing while floating at the surface, until you take control of it again (or a shark attacks).

    Maybe there are some details with the position of the player on board or with details of the map (rocks etc. on the route the ship would slide/sink)

  • @sirliborius definitely requires more testing. We both recorded clips, but alas we cannot share them.
