Bug involving 2 planets one on top of the other

from Sins Forums

I was playing a game earlier today and encountered 2 planets of which one was on top the other. After I captured the planet on the top, I proceeded to capture the planet below it.

However, after capturing the planet below it, NONE of my ships were able to leave the planet's gravity well. When they try to move to the planet above them, they just fly in circles. They were stuck on a planet. 

I lost 10 ships including a capital ship. All of which I had to scrap because they were stuck and were thus useless. 

And I proceeded to lose the game because this happened early game.

Pls fix this stupid bug.

Did you try moving them to a planet far away from either planet? Also something like this can be hard to duplicate, so a save game and replay is probably needed for the devs to fix it.

I did try to move them to a far away planet. After moving back and forth for a few minutes, my frigates manage to leave the planet but my capital ships were still stuck. 

I don't have a save game because I was playing online and rage quitted ><

rage quiting isnt very nice.

 

ya, planets on top of eachother can be annoying, but its a bug of the random map generator. prolly not easilly fixable.

And if they are going to work on the random map generator, there are other issues that are just as pressing...

Determaining starting postions, and optional map symetery come to mind.

Wonder if the equator is in the middle of the two planets?

I didn't dare try to jump, but since I've saved after that point I'll go grab an autosave and give it a shot.  I've noticed in prior games that the phase jump logic has difficulty with planets not aligned on the same vertical plane (relative to the host star)
