Also copying configuration of current orders in the behavior tab would be nice too.

Ultimate Shrek Fan posted:Please give more details about these rep routes Go to a par wharf. Get the single seat scout with 3 engines and one fixed hard point (forget the name of the ship). Slap some travel engines on it and right click anywhere on the map and select auto-trade galaxy. You now have a "trade" ship that travels at 6 km/s with a fairly cheap fit. It looks like it's just the number of transactions that affect rep rather than quantity of goods. Spread these across the galaxy (send one to ARG, one to PAR, one to MIN, etc) before you set autotrade in order to gain rep with all factions. It seems to base out of whatever system you issued the auto-trade command in so you can maximize your rep with all factions.

It's not a bad idea to have them going anyway to help supply ship building, you may want to limit them to whatever resources are the actual bottleneck, but that will take time and seems to be different from game to game. (but usually it's the parts right before ship that jam up).

Also make sure you have the correct storage at the station for whatever you’re mining, lost 2 hours trying to figure that one out. I've downloaded 1.5 Beta 1 and it seems most of the right-click orders are gone. No way to set Import, for example, and AutoTrade is available only through Default Behavior.

I've finally started messing around with building stations and it's night and day how much better this modular system is compared to the X3 games. Being able to design a whole complex in one shot is so much less painful. And having the option of just letting NPCs bring you the materials for an added cost is a decent way to remove micromanagement, while still rewarding you for doing it.

So I built a station that churns out engine parts. I set my freighter to trade for the station and it decided to only take 46 engine parts despite there being 900 available. Is anyone else having issues getting their trade ships to be not dumb when interacting with your station?

Ships can only trade point-to-point, they can't just load up and then go and sell to several stations. I hope they fix this in an update, I believe the X3 traders could sell to several systems.

Like...open orders for 1400 parts at multiple stations and my freighter decided "46 seems like a good number." No idea why.

No idea why. It was probably the first/closest trade it could find. It really sucks when you finally buy an L freighter and the first thing it does is go to your megafactory and pick up 20 energy cells...

People have said that setting the default behavior to auto trade works better but for that the pilot needs to have 3 stars in Piloting. If you want to make mad cash just buy mining ships, 2 of each (gas and minerals) bring in good cash to start your empire with.

I do not think the stations get removed in Rebirth, they can be attacked and destroyed, but they will eventually get repaired. My guess is that there is a hostile station that was not discovered in the sector that it was attacked in. They can exist in friendly sectors, but usually well away from the highways. Which sector was it?

So I'm just starting out in this. I believe I've seen talk about starter mission to get you set up. How do those come about? I chose the basic Argon start that but I don't see any missions anywhere (I do see the tutorials and I did a few). Right now I don't see any sort of direction at all, my only option being to fly away in search of things to do. I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything important before venturing off in search of space windmills to tilt at.

You'll uncover 'hidden' missions by doing that, and the first one should set you along the main plot. If you want there's a mod up on Nexus that bookmarks the nearest scan point whenever you go into scan mode near a station.

Seems like no matter what the Xenon are just bitch made. Maybe for the first few hours of a new game they actually are active and doing something, but even without doing anything directly, they seem to just go dormant after a while and if you ever want to see them again you have to visit their sad little reservation at the north of the map. Same for all of the enemy factions really.

It would be nice for the game's existential threat to be a bit more threatening.

Unfortunately I think it's a map design problem. The xenon open right into the core systems of the other races. There's no borderlands or contested sectors. The war mechanic would work a lot better I think if there were some very sparse sectors for each side to conquer. Rather than the xenon being dropped right into the teladi and paranid central sectors. Same, kinda, with the other wars. They are all heavily developed sectors from the start of the game. Much harder to get dynamic change when it's already a stalemate. The system does work cos yeah, you get attack groups going after other factions but they've set the map up so it's actually pretty stable.

The tricky thing about balancing them is that if they're TOO strong, they'll overrun the universe before the player even really has the chance to build up enough that they can meaningfully fight back. If they're too weak, they quickly get pushed out of their own sectors, again before the player can really reach the point where they could even consider taking them on in force. I think what they should probably do is buff up the Xenon a bunch with free resources/ships, but give them an AI that's mostly defensive - they'll try to aggressively recapture any territory they might have lost during the game, but they'll only send harassing raids of maybe a couple of destroyers into non-Xenon space to maybe take out a station or two but not really try to expand their territory into that space. That would make their presence felt but without making them be so powerful that nobody can stop them.

That would be the other benefit to changing the map layout. Doesn't matter if they take sectors in between other factions, it just cuts off a route. Which is interesting and cool. But if they actually go anywhere currently then they've eaten the core of one of the other races.
