Topic: GW5 Bug inquiry--Mission chat, Plasma, et.al. and Protocols.

[Pojo92]

Anyone else had a bugged mission where you have no chat along with a host of other malfunctions? Had two in a row last night with no chat and where my Plasmas also wouldn't charge(and yes, they were online with power to spare.).  Not only that, but I couldn't lay mines, and one of the missions ended when an allied player-ontrolled ship was destroyed AND I BLEW UP AT THE SAME TIME WITHOUT HAVING A SHOT FIRED AT ME.

After the second incident, I uninstalled and reloaded everything and haven't had any trouble, but has anyone else encountered this? 

Also, what is the protocol for Alt F4-ing out of the mission in such circumstances? Given that I couldn't chat and had no voice comms, I couldn't let anyone know what was up, and I couldn't take any "screen shots" to verify any agreement on my bugging out.

I'm sure you could have alted and then explaned afterwards since you had no chat.
You said player controlled AI...didn't think we had that...or was it a capture?

Not "AI player controlled", "ALLIED" player controlled.  Was in mission with someone else (forget who, I suck with names, cold-hearted bastage that I am) against a gorn player plus  gorn AI DD, and when the allied player went BOOM, so did I.  I'd taken a couple internals previously, but nothing serious. Was nowhere near being destroyed.  Very odd.

If you were within the other ships explosion range you probably just
