Nice, that seems to include everything, oh, is scorps map in that list? http://www.suu-design.com/main.html its a pain to "install" if you are not used to the filesystem, but it has so many useful features. sorry I did not mention it before. (Edit) : Yep, I have used it with AP, and also various mods that give you entirely new areas/totally different starmaps. with no problems. staberind fucked around with this message at 00:02 on May 31, 2013 |

Its a standalone, with scripts, while you are beetling around, you hit an assignable key and it updates a log00001.txt that you drop into your Users\[yournamehere]\Documents\Egosoft\X3AP or X3TC folder, you can tab out, open this map and its updated with your progress automatically, while it might be a little garish, it has various features that more than make up for that, like finding abandoned ships, how much stock a station has of a product and so on. this can be quicker during missions when you have to go find, say, 3 lasertowers. plus, if you have universe explorers off scouting for you, it updates in the same way.

Nostrum posted:There was an awesome script for TC, that I can't remember the name. Basically, it automated some fighters to setup your advanced satellite network. You would buy 4-5 M5s, and the script would send them out to buy satellites (when funds allowed), and drop them in configurable patterns in whatever system they entered. They were smart enough not to double-drop, and would avoid configurable areas. Any idea what it was called, and does it work with AP? Universe explorers. http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=248033 What I tend to do is get one in a racing ship, (starburst, with max tunings) and another is something fairly quick, but with a hold, say, a mamba raider or if you are really lucky, a spitfyre, and send the fast one off to explore, and the other one off to make a sattelite network, (it helps if you buy as many satellites as possible as close to the start of the game as you can, as they don't replenish so well.

Its true, the explorer pilots need a poke now and then, I have never actually got one to the magical level 25 where they discover unmarked or unlinked sectors, plus, the secondary satellite laying one needs to be refilled and sent on their merry way occasionally too. for me, it sort of adds to the game, I do have the mod, and can mail it to whoever wants it, in fact, a have a large repository of mods that I cannot see around any-more, I guess its an idea to screencap a mod folder and people can pick and choose, or, I could dropbox them, plus a couple of jammed together mods I made like better race ranks & coloured shipnames.

Regarding Xenon L. NPC Bailing Addon. I linked before. allows you to actually tweak poo poo, when used with scs, it allows you to get all but 2 races (xenon & cock) relations up quickly, (by sending the astronauts/pilots to friendly stations and by returning ships to their races) gives you more control over bail rates.

I have, on a busted save, an Albion Pride, it seemed ok, however, I happen to know a little, ah, cheat; The ship was gained by using "NPC Bailing Addon", in combo with "SCS 4.11", these may or may not be cheats, and it was the only time I have managed to get one, However also using "The Marauder Shipyard" makes engine tunings & rudder tunings dropped by ships "Donated" by one of the scs commands "overtune" whatever ship happens to pick them up. Resulting in my Ptranodon travelling at 500kms, and being as agile as an m5. I tried this on the Albion Pride, it was jolly good.

I feel like the worlds worst arsehole, I installed xe tc on my neighbors computer a while back, and forgot about it, and him, as a matter of fact, it seems he got addicted to it, a month or so back he popped up and said "thanks muchly for the game, is there anything else like that?" I burned off my tc and ap install and said "enjoy, and there is another game coming out soon, its supposed to be impressive..." I went to his a week or two ago to find he had discovered egosofts forum, and all that, and was trying to set up a steam account to get X Afterbirth. I spent a couple of days watching Jim, for thats his name, become more and more apalled. bullet dodged, I guess.

Kaysette posted:One word of warning: the sector takeover feature can really screw up your plans if the Argon take over a formerly unoccupied sector and blow up your spaceweedplex. Not that this happened to me recently... Unexpected poo poo other factions get up to that does not involve the bsod is pretty much what I'd call a feature, I'd suggest ripping off an argon or whatever trading post and plonking that down somewhere unoccupied, and claiming the sector. at least that keeps blues from jacking your poo poo, while giving people who want to crush you something appealing to attack, aka, a trap. For actual advice: some of our plugins or mods we use will not play happily with each other, simply because the mod manager does not make it clear that you can actually set up a cat/dat system of your own, allowing more than one "fake patch". some basics of that : get ap up to version 3.xx, the cat/dat stuff thats in a vanilla game will be your base, (ap lives inside tc, relying on its cat/dat stuff for the underlying universe, you want to make all split ships puke green? you faff with the tc cat/dat stuff.) your own fake patches will go into your ap install, after the base game, an example, bounce and mobile ship repair are practically indispensable, yet you cannot use both at once, unless you fake patch both, most of the rest of the mods will however, play aright with each other. edit, there we go, so, while your automatic trade empire slowly grows, using your mk 3 traders, and your explorers are finding strange new worlds, smoking dem phat blunts and generally sexing the wildlife, you can go about the fun business of adjusting your standings slowly upward, capping practically everything in sight, including ko'ohck and stations, moving those stations to wherever they are needed, taking over sectors, again, with the obvious loss from that faction, that you can recoup by sending spacesuits (sometimes from the very ships you capped), towards stations, trade, profittssss from capping, and so on, in a more natural sandbox kleptomaniac way. a lot of the plugins are very configurable, and I really recommend doing so, it can make the usually enjoyable progression of being spacefly poo poo nothing to Shaddam IV (otherwise known as playing the game). incredibly abrupt. so try with different configs of each of the red plugins. the yellow ones basically backup the red ones and extend them. the rest being flavour, and some having no practical use. use the advanced part of the mod installer to sort out fake patches, and have fun. Pt 2 : X prematurely ejaculated stillbirth. is a bit long and it would probably put off a lot of people, but even put off, those desperate for xgoodness would still buy it. I just finished the main plot, also known as the tutorial where you are forced to deal with a buggy mess. the ego forums are abuzz with people wanting to add stuff on to the shell of the game, as bernd expected, so, yeah, business as usual, tc, and then ap are mainly player made mods, "officially sanctiond" and released by ego, for more cash. expect more of the same, although I hate to admit it, I am looking forward to modding more crap into this game as well. at least ego kept the best ship in the game : the mamba. Its up to people to mod more meaningful content into the game, if you don't like that, blame the business model egosoft and and bethesda seem to have carved out, although bethesda actually manage to do console releases and port them back to pc. something bernd seems to envy. staberind fucked around with this message at 16:48 on Jan 7, 2014 |

IR 2.0 seems to cut out some of the stuff from the 1.7 branch, so I stick with 1.7. I also use the tc plots in ap, it turns off the contested red zones in ap, so, with ir's hot war set nicely, there is a lot of fighting still going on, but with standings positive to both Argons & Terrans, my poo poo does not get nuked. chuck in npc bailing addon, set it to very low and finally get salvage command suite. I decided to buy X-Rebirth, mainly to legitimise bashing it, but also to see if a totally different "System Takeover" type game is possible to be salvaged from it, with the Xenon zerging from the other end of the present map. Also, with a Russian vpn, I got it for about 12 euro. So I have the npc's with a thousand yard stare. Awesome.

WraithMind posted:The game engine is like fifteen years old, it'll only use one core so everything that goes wrong is probably because of the cpu bottleneck. You can always tab out, open task manager, click on the xxx.exe process, set it to use your first core, accept, then set it to use all your cores, accept, and tab back in, with two monitors you can see it spread the load across all cores then. I say xxzx.exe, as this can be used for a few different games and apps. I could be dramatically wrong. I have an i5 with a similar setup, booting off an ssd, with a secondary ssd for games, 8 gig, not so oc'd. I also have a xeon 2011, but I have not tried running any games on that, I am pretty sure the bottleneck with that will not be the processor. The Real Tony.

I would agree with pretty much all of VDay's points, because, even if a mod like "5 star ship crew" negates the meaningless minigame, or "n.e.s.a" means that you practically never need to wander around finding farmer giles the space farmer to sell him/her some space.. uh, soil, you are still stuck in whats practically an m3+ the entire game, which then makes everything just seem desolate. Regarding Kinetic Void, the controls are somewhat counter intuitive, (but nothing stops me from remapping stuff internally or externally,) flying around in space is allright, the real draw for me is making awkward looking spacebuggies, it still has a way to go,

Hakkesshu posted:Is there even a chance that they can properly fix Rebirth? Like, is it not so fundamentally broken that it's never going to be worth it at this point? Properly fixing it involves ditching the interaction system, creating cockpits or bridges of all the other ships ingame. fixing the trading system, re-introducing the 3 eyes and fishguys and creating assets, ships, stations and so on for them, the list is very long. Their attitude seems to be: "the game is fine, its a financial success, but we will tweak it here and there as you are all babbies".

To un-lobotomise capital ships, or, indeed, anything with turrets, get mars. I looked at the whole marine training thing a few years ago and thought "gently caress that noise"; I use Nividium's "Ship Hijacker", it requires computer components and a transporter device & can be used on anything apart from m1-m2, & can be used on stations. There is another similar hijacker, that requires you to also have system override software. Their use on stations can have interesting results, especially ka'ahk stations. xenon shipyards are pointless, but the regular xenon stations can be fun. both will get you the elusive Q. Npc bailing will very rarely get you a xenon capship as well.

If you open one of the starts and run an export through Litcube, every single detail of your empire can be modified with a text editor. Give yourself a billion credits and standings to buy an M1 from Argon? Sure. Editing the saves of rebirth, just to unjank missions and so on, gave me the power of CHIM as well, there is a lot about rebirth I like under the hood, its a pity the game is so crap, but I point blank refuse to edit x3 savegames, its the struggle to survive at the beginning, in a squishy M5 M4 or if you are lucky, an M3 that makes your first M6 so rewarding, but, I can see the fun of just starting a game to lay waste to everything. I think my favorite ships are probably the Kha`ak from the Cadius pack, they are so garish and unlike anything else in the game, tactical laser flamingo insect dragons. like taking a Hind-E to a knife fight. Ah, for those of a kleppy nature, the ship hijack mod, along with npc bailing does ease the beginning a bit, adding improved races and making as many races hate each other as possible, and using scs, gets you out of the first few days of space hobo very quickly. staberind fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Jul 8, 2014 |

Starting with the recommended Argon start, I get a mission telling me to "help the war effort". How do I do that? Charge into Terran territory and start blowing poo poo up? Aiding the war effort is basically molesting whatever terran ships you see, 'splode a few and the mission will update with some instructions. stranded ship? To go quickly is foolish. To go slowly is prudent. Not to go; that is wisdom. ha ha haaaa..... seriously though, a jumpdrive is your friend for stranded ships and suchlike, the capped ships can be sold at practically any shipyard that allows them to dock, or you can get salvage claim software 4.11 and sell them remotely from your cockpit. the nearest shipyard will buy it, it will turn blue, dump everything in its hold, and begin its trek to it, you get your creds immediatly, even if it blows up seconds later, its useful if you manage to cap something in an unfriendly situation, also, you can buddy jump it out of the area with scs provided you have the software on your ship, a jumpdrive and enough ecells. useful for a couple of xenon sectors you will come across.

Yeah, the mod/plugin manager Is actually quite useful, inasmuch as you can merge a bunch of smaller mods easily, or, un-archive everything, making a big folder you can just drop onto the basegame and finally you can fool about with fake patch order. I think the only reason people don't use the manager is that everyone forgets that file it randomly installs that breaks a few mods, see, I forgot it as well, is it dummies.txt ? its not tships or anything, duuuuurrr.

The latest X game that most people think is worth playing would be, as the thread title suggests, AP 3.0, however, there are a few special sectors that are practically instant death for any of your non-piloted ships, regardless of standings, so, a cheap way of getting around that is to use the tc plots in ap mod, and chose something less centrally plot driven, I usually choose the piraty start, gives you an M3, not such a good reputation and you can unlock the plot if you wish to as you go along by improving standings and so on. AP is still in roughly the same environment as TC, with a few GUI upgrades and extra ships.
