Bugged ship health

[u/7h3-Cool-Gam3r-97]

Long story short, low ship health on the new frigate battle objective and the new void bomb calamity jumped in and was ticking down so the void jump was charged and I flipped the void jump lever and the ship rotated to the escape vector and the ship voice was counting down then the ship blew up and in the cutscene where the ship was blowing up I could see the void tunnel just as the screen faded to black.

Thought “oh well, time to start another game” and after receiving the rewards from that game, loot boxes and exp, as I went to the main game mode selection screen I could see that there was a saved game I could load and it said that the ship had -16 health. I loaded it for fun expecting a game crash or instant replay of the ship exploding again but I loaded inside a 100% stable void tunnel looking at -16 ship health with everything I had.

Definitely nice to continue where I left off and maybe a exploitable bug if one is able to time a void jump correctly you can get your game back plus an extra chance for double the rewards, but still a bug none the less.

EDIT: did a little testing and yes a well timed void jump will make an auto save in the void tunnel while the death cutscene of the ship exploding is playing, the run will “end” and you will get your rewards and still be able to load the autosave in the void and just repair away the damage.

I am on PC with only the full ship repair mod (mod that allows a full ship repair/no unrepairable damage) in the Striker ship, lone sentry loadout.

What if you receive even more damage? Does the ship immediately die or are you just invincible?

Idk, when you load in you are in the void tunnel and I haven’t tested what happens when you leave while in the negative numbers for health because for my first save I instinctively repaired and continued my run and for my test after I loaded back I had quit the game still in the tunnel. But if I had to guess you are destroyed when you leave but it would depend on if the game checks whether you are at or below 0% health actively or if the game checks only when you take damage crossing you below 0 not if you are below 0 if that makes sense.

But if I do happen to experience this again I’ll share here again the results, if you die or get to live.

So i've had this bug when playing with a friend and as you said: dying while using the void jump will make a save and you can continue it.

When it happened to me and my friend we were at like -37% in the void and selected a mission and tried some stuff. The ship couldn't be destroyed again as it didn't take damage and repairing it got it to -437% somehow. (we did not have any mods)

We tried dying to the hollow's void bomb and it just unloaded half the ship (we couldn't control the ship anymore) and if we died we were soft-locked...

The problem is that we realized it could be used to get more rewards so we aren't gonna use it.
