Title: Random events
Post by: Mart on June 26, 2015, 06:13:26 PM

Going through xscript.txt file to make corrections  for a mod, I found this entry:

Quote

#ARTIFACTTECH1
#xs 320
#caption Science Officer
A power surge from the alien artifact has shorted
out the Network Node at $BASENAME0!

Proceed
Zoom to Base Control

Has anyone got that event? Sounds not pleasant, like the Network Node is effected. how? destroyed?

It is not listed here:

It looks like an intended-but-never-implemented alternate result when plugging in an artifact to a network node (probably destroying the node and the artifact, and probably with a chance of it happening each time you plugged in an artifact).

I had that feeling, it was something like that. Such event would make AA much less worth connecting to network node.
There are more not implemented events, as I think, that I found reading xscript.txt

I've experienced it twice since 2000, a long time ago. Indeed, node and artifact both destroyed.

Well, at least it seems to be not a very frequent occurrence :)

It was like the Major Asteroid Impact. For a while, nobody reported it, then a few did, now it's heard of from time to time.
