Bug: Unreachable Beacon

Nothing too special with this one; it's just an unreachable beacon in the Engi Homeworld system. I have beacon paths turned on and none come from this beacon.

Those sometimes generate. Hopefully they'll be fixed soon. They do add a kind of mystery however. What if that beacon held an event so rare none had seen it before?

Unless the node is a quest marker, or the exit, it is possible the devs will not consider this is a bug.

See this post by Matthew for the explanation: http://www.ftlgame.com/forum/viewtopic. ... =10#p15655

Ran into something similar in the first sector.

These beacons occur rarely and are part of the game. They never make it impossible to exit the sector, although you may be dismayed to see one is a store. A store you probably desperatly need.

Such is FTL. :)

If it can be a store, it seems possible that it could be a quest or even an exit. Probably worth them checking into at least.

Well that what makes the game special, anyway I think the end beacon is coded differently so there is ALWAYS a way to get to it, it seems like it because it often has highly obvious ways towards it at most times if like someone drew a line from point A to point B then draw branches of it.

Like I said, I think it's worth them checking into if they haven't already. Everything we say is just speculation.
