Can you not have more then one mission at a time? I decided to take the plunge and was in the tutorial start, found a mission signal to go find an anomaly, and found another mission node which I hovered by. I accepted the new mission but wanted to keep going on the anomaly one and didn't find any way to make it active or even find it in the menu.

X4: After about four hours, the universe seems to run out of Kha'ak So did you know that you can click the small icons on your first person radar to select things like security lockboxes, etc., that you want to navigate too? I sure didn't last night until finally trying it as a last ditch effort doing a mission to rescue medical supplies from a destroyed transport. Like, you can click it in the map after finding it with the long range scanner but it seems like you should have been able to select or navigate to an object from the map screen, but lo and behold, it's from the in ship radar.

X4 goons please help: no matter what I do I can't seem to find pilots with stars so I only have rank zero behaviors available. No matter which ones I try, pilot rank doesn't increase so I can, you know, use them. How do I get my pilots to not be poo poo? Also confirming captured ships from visiting players seem to behave totally differently with sensors, even after going to upgrade/repair. Any word on a fix or workaround?

I assign them as traders to my stations and have them rank up that way but it is sloooooow we're talking +72 real life hours to gain a single star. Automine requires 1 star, my pilots have zero

Data vault spawned at the entrance gate for Faulty Logic. Got to play space Mission Impossible and open it seconds before an M came through, beelining for my space suit as I boosted into my airlock. Why no, I didn't have to save scum with my jaw dropped after getting blasted on the first attempt and learning enemy ships target your suit. So yeah, still having the automine issue since it's a 1 star behavior and my pilots all have zero. Is there anything I can do besides manually trigger them to mine, then manually make them sell, ad infinitum?

Getting back in after some time away (Last I played the Venture stuff was still in). Doing a human run and just got to the PHQ part which was kind of neat. Trying to remember how to build up my little empire. That said, does anyone have some good or cool looking or particularly goony station templates to share, or know where the best resource is? Google wasn't particularly helpful at getting to a repository or anything.

FrickenMoron posted:Sounds like someone hosed up with the settings in a patch. Plot ships are flagged as "impossible" for Boarding and won't let you even attempt it normally. That said for later missions they spawn a new one anyways. You can test this by letting a cheap ship dock to it. It will explode when that Terraforming plot gets triggered. Turns out my own crew flew the ship to Terran space to bring the good doctor to me after I obtained the data with the special fighter. Turned in the mission and got control of the helm back immediately.

Scan the Asgards, if you get lucky you'll get a Terran Intervention Corps Asgard with ~20-30 middle tier marines. It took me four refills of my Syn to knock that out, I got lucky and caught it when it was faffing around in The Void and could make resupply trips. My Hatikvah's Choice is a constant warzone between the Xenon and Argon and similar tactics got me a resupply ship, bringing my count of those up to 3. The problem is I have no idea what to do with them besides admire them for looking cool. (Atlas, Monitor, and whatever the Argon one is). Does HAT have the ability to expand, or do they only get the one sector?

Major Isoor posted:Oh cool - 30 marines should be easy then, for my boarding ship. Their platoon versus my company? Yes please! (I wish they'd release medium sized troop transport ships though, which aren't good for combat but fit a lot of personnel) Mine have built several defense stations of their own. The problem is the gate to the Xenon sector constantly has 5 capitals on the other side and send one every 30 minutes or so. I tried a defense station at the Xenon gate and got cleaned out on that go. My second station was at the super highway to the other subsector with a defense platform of six discs connected by defense bridges. It absolutely deletes things, including the Ks . Now I plan to change the orientation from on-plane to vertical to make a true wall of death so things don't get as close to the station. I absolutely need that degree of firepower to keep the plot (now also a spacefuel factory) alive, so now I've got ~30m spacebux invested in adding two more wall of death platforms to cover while I rotate the original. Maybe during the next Argon defense wave instead of stealing their resupply ship I can try a disc-o-doom platform at the gate again. What I'm saying is I need a better income stream because I can easily come up with station designs in the tens of millions of credits. And still would love it if we had a repository of station designs plans with photos

Once I scrape together some more credits I'll make it a proper cage. Only problem is when I teleport in sector to Hoover up ~100 drops and A) fill my notification queue for ~10 minutes and B) the station accidentally clips one of the Argon defense fleets and have to take a 2-3 point rep hit when the station deletes them for going aggro

Major Isoor posted:Ah nice, good to hear! Once I'm set up, I think I'll pull one of my better managers across to the recycling station, I guess. Since at least this way I can keep the station away from danger in Silent Witness, and still pull wrecks from Hatikvah over for recycling. Thanks for the confirmation! My station, which was initially just a doormat of death for that gate, has been doing fine with a scrap/recycler and a closed loop for even more claytronics installed. I'm working on adding a ceiling of death now. I can't imagine the working conditions for the factory: outside any given window you see Xenon getting mulched by a joint fleet with the Argon and one little tug is just zipping through the front lines feeding the scrap lines. Harder to imagine the trade ship that sees all that and says: "yep, gonna get a good deal here"

I use this already: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2426876427 I'm certainly not the best X player, but my biggest threat zone is a constant incursion into Hatikvah's Choice, which I locked down by building a wall of turrets by the gate. It's now a murder, salvage, and occasionally warp to a Behemoth to hoover up loot station. For sector clearing for small stuff, a handful of Asgards OOS does nicely. I learned the hard way that a solo Asgard can be permanently disabled by a sufficiently large fleet of Ms, but it never died. I've been using something like 3 or 4 to clear the Split sectors. Haven't gone after home bases but I've been able to turn around their momentum and keep things at bay.

So uh, say I forgot to rename my nav beacon for the correct wormhole for Leap of Faith, is there an easy way to find it again, and/or any way to automate moving the uh, trade goods out of there? Also, really hope my two missing Erlking vaults are in there, I've laid out like $100m in advanced satellites so far and only found three in the other sectors...

There is no way to automate moving wares in and out, you'll have to do it manually (although you can bring a carrier loaded with Raleigh (Condensate) plus the Astrid and haul a LOT of Protectyon out of there) - just remember you can only enter for a short moment after the tide has hit. Due south of the gate, or is it more like, SW? I'm not seeming to be able to make either work.

With the current patch, what should you be outfitting fighters and the like with for OOS combat if you're not using mods? Will they take advantage of and do better with things like the various rail gun variants? Also, someone was mentioning setting up capital ship weapons - I swear someone mentioned a way to prioritize what the main battery does. Basically, is there a way to make my Asgards point and click Ks with the beam of eradication, or do I really need to teleport in and turn them manually and shoot the main battery to avoid AI idiocy? Personal frigates I'm accepting that I'm trash at aiming and use things like the chain guns and rapid fire stuff, maybe I'll try manually using the rail guns again given the discussion up thread but they really used to feel bad.

OwlFancier posted:I think the main battery should go for the thing the ship is actually targeting. You can set each group of turrets to prioritize fighters or capital ships. It's just wild that I've had to save scum to save a fleet of 3 Asgards that kept trying to engage Ks with a bold engine first strategy, but usually they did reasonably ok. Meanwhile a solitary Syn is holding a different gate for me cleaning out Ks with no intervention. The AI is weird sometimes

I seem to have not set my blacklisted sectors correctly and now have my multiverse save in this position where my Erlking is in the middle Vigor sector dying to an onslaught of 18 fighters because I had it background trading Terran goods and for some reason it decided to cross Vigor space. I have a handful of fighters within two sectors but no fleet of substance. And I don't have my own fab up and running, nor do I have all the BPs, so it's using a handful of turrets. Barring coming up with a creative way to save it, can you replace the Erlking if it goes down?

If I had a good trade system for all goods set up I'd consider sending traders full of marines to get skilled up, just would be a bummer if the RNG checked them out since all the trader missions have a 10% destruction chance

At least the Odysseus can mount a M for extra flak turrets. Behemoths are so bad that my death sandwich gate station (like two plates that are 3x12 defense disc/bridge platforms) can't even be a guarantee to save them when a K pops into Hatikvah - and I keep a fleet of them there to occasionally vacuum up the ~100 crates whenever I think to look at that area of space. It's like >> 70 L plasmas on either side of the K, but the behemoths can still pull off the suicide occasionally somehow.
