Theres a cheevo for joining the scale plate pact... i guess that's impossible then?

There's an SCA Pirate Base in one of the Hewa's Twins (IV I think?); once you land, someone comms you asking if you're interested in joining and you can pay 50k to get in. They give you guild missions like any other guild except as mentioned previously, completing them doesn't raise or lower your rank at all.

Oh my god faulty logic is full of crystals. literally every second asteroid in the middle of the sector has crystals on it, im just ignoring the purple ones since theyre a waste of time.

Good thing those xenons are harmless i guess.

I cross posted the weapon stuff over to Reddit and it's been sitting at the top getting some good feedback, so I'll build it out further tonight I guess, at least for M size weapons. I have no idea how I'm going to stably test the L turrets

There's a mod up on Nexus that makes Advanced Satellites automatically discover all stations in a sector. I think it's the same mod that makes satellites cover all stations in a sector. I really liked it because seriously why do I need dozens of these things?

Look at all of this wasted money! It turns out that some of the crystal fragments that spawn inside the asteroid are launched outside violently and travel upwards to hundreds of kilometers before stopping.

Yes definitely do the PHQ missions, the teleportation research alone is worth it.

I just had my first crash to desktop after exploring the xenon sectors near HOP. Wanted to teleport out and it crashed. There wasnt anything of value there anyways and i had saved after my mining operation. It's really loving amazing how empty/devoid of anything the xenon sectors are.

Edit: Except Faulty Logic 7 is the home to around 5 million tracker mines, which are completely harmless if you fly through them with travel speed!

I think I'd read on the official forums from some people digging into the scripts that Kha'ak don't actually need resources or shipyards - they just cheat and spawn them in. They probably do it at a fixed rate though, so it's easy for the main factions to outpace them.

Hopefully someone makes a mod to increase spawn rate because I can't mod for poo poo.

So I think this game officially hates me now. The only NPCs on stations are the ones floating in mid-air where they'd be if they were piloting a ship, and I've yet to find a single vendor/trader/hireable NPC going on 12 stations now.

Are Teladi stations buggy? I wanted to start a new game in 1.3 and picked the trading start with the station and two ships, but when I try to start the PHQ quest, or go to the nearby trading station for any reason, if I go to the trade hub part my movement controls completely freeze up as soon as the teleporter door opens. The game continues to run, NPCs can run past me and I can talk to them (and change direction briefly) but as soon as I say goodbye, I lock up. Shift-D returns me to my ship and everything seems fine from that point on, but it's going to be annoying if I have to avoid a bunch of stations for fear of getting a quest in one that I can't complete.

Just the movement controls coming out of the transporter for me. I think hitting escape a couple of times works. Or just hitting the ‘enter’ menu.

Not so much a hang as the movement bindings just don’t work.

Just hit an odd issue, pressing M for the map had an image of the last NPC I talked to sitting in a chair. It was in the way of the map, I also could not save, and was only getting 8-12FPS. I remembered something about save compression and turned it off. I was able to save and the NPC sitting down is no longer on my map after the save completed no need to reload. This also brought me back to my normal frame rate.

I'm not sure why this fixed it I was hoping to save and see if a load fixed it, I'm baffled it corrected in game.

Saves aren't too much faster but load time was cut in half by turning off compression. The file size went from 20MB to 200MB, so make sure you have the space. I can't imagine compressing to .gz would result in corrupted data though.

I'm under min specs on CPU, I'm still using a i5-2500k (2011), at base clock the game was completely unplayable. Overclocked to 4.8Ghz I get 70FPS in space and 15FPS in sration. You do need a videocard capable of running vulkan since the game uses that instead of OpenGL or DirectX so you will need a newer videocard.

e: I said space twice

Good to know about the CPU, figured the GPU would be my shortcoming but I think R7 280x supports vulkan. I'll give it a shot and hope for the best - else I was due for an upgrade anyway.

This happens while manually docking sometimes too, especially if strafing about a lot. You can spam escape to eventually get back control, or better yet just buy a docking computer and be done with it.

I think you should be okay as long as you can get your CPU to 4.4Ghz+ My 2500k at 4Ghz was playable in space but stations were 5FPS getting it to 4.8Ghz made space smooth as hell and stations as reasonable enough FPS that it's not a flipbook. You have 2 gens on my processor so you should be good at a slightly lower clock. Video card is basically does it support Vulkan?

I read on Reddit someone looked into the code and the defending fleet stuff works but the AI is meant to have an attacking fleet as well but currently, it doesn't rebuild it after it gets destroyed so everything just stops.

They fixed the nvidium bug for miners where they couldnt sell since it isnt used but, that means eventually the market is gone and it stalls again. The only way to get them going again is dump the nvidium and exclude it from being mined.

I kinda find them by accident? I haven't found a way to consistently find a bar. A lot of those 'bring me xx inventory items' quests are dropped off at the bartender/a bar patron so keep an eye out for those. As for finding a black market vendor, I have no info on that because I found mine purely by accident.

When you build a ship you can hire crew, I'm pretty sure you can also hire from the upgrade menu. Since crew now gain skills over time you can just train them up, which is likely the intended route.

If you go to high preset when building you get a higher ranked pilot even if you back everything back down to base model, so at least getting someone that can autotrade is easy enough.

Yeah I had this happen to me too. The faction that hired me got pissed at me attacking the laser towers around their station that they specifically hired me to destroy. I feel like if you get a mission that targets towers that aren't Xenon or Scale Plate Pact or something you should probably just abort it.
