So I docked on a construction ship to maybe poach some decent captains and for some reason all of their stats showed as question marks when I approached them (but they were still hire-able). Is this reputation related or something?

Given the above too what I'm loving about X4 (specifically now after bouncing off it on release) is that unlike the other games the stakes are pretty high; they've tuned the Xenon threat so that it is actually a threat too and if you just left a game idling for a few days they'll faceroll a bunch of factions. For the first time outside of Litcube's Universe for X3AP I feel like my actions really matter. It's also the first time the economic and universe simulation feels real too - out of sector combat and actions are still a little weird versus in-sector but the fact that all the goods are actually used now for things like creating weaponry, stations and ships is really awesome and you can see your effect on the economy (not to mention the Xenon's).

Vietnom nom nom posted:I keep reading things that state that building a single monolithic production facility is both inefficient and maybe even slows the game down. I'm doing the typical PHQ big facility, and was wondering if anyone had insight into how big a deal that really is. There are framerate hits at hundreds of modules but you can just stay out of sector at that point. One big difference too is that in a megaplex only one thing can be built at once, so you'll more likely build separate complexes just to get around that as opposed to performance but if you're patient with one builder you can still go super crazy, whatever suits you.

I could have sworn there was something like this somewhere that would allow me to quickly find, say, 2 star management employees in my ranks. Go to player information and there's a section that says like "18 employees" or something, if you click on that you get a grid of them all.

Man getting higher-skilled pilots is bumming me out. I tried to roll with this as a design decision to push people into building stations instead of just auto-trading for easy money but now I've noticed that my stations assigned traders are also limited by the goddamned same piloting skill and right now the "best" trader I have with 2.5 stars has a 2 jump gate range on auto-trading, severely limiting the profits from a station. I can manually trade from my stations to make up for it but that's getting super boring and time consuming. I'm trying to play without mods yet and I'm going to try filling a Phoenix cargohold with claytronics and assigning a bunch of Elites to defend it; hopefully then when pirates threaten the combat will level them up. Alternatively maybe buying 20 or so Elites and just pushing as far into non-capital Xenon fights as I can to level people up. Bottom line though is goddamn what a baffling decision to limit all the possibilities in this game with that mechanic. I don't get why you would write all these features that require pilot skills that don't appear naturally even after a hundred hours. I've been following the trainwreck thread on the Egosoft forums and the Elite Dangerous-like levels of brown sea posting saying that "well in the military you wouldn't be a trained pilot after a thousand hours so I like this" is loving ridiculous.

OwlFancier posted:Seriously just mod it if it's annoying you, there's no prize for playing purist and I agree that there's some extremely weird (and extremely german) design decisions in the game. Frankly I think the entire notion of crew skill is a pretty iffy one, especially the number of things it affects. I will definitely be modding in the skillbooks if my conscription plan doesn't work out Also I think achievements aren't even affected by mods this time too right?

Thom12255 posted:They've done good on this front in X4. No more autopilot ramming you into a station at full speed and the Game Over screen appearing. Even if it does ram you, it only does a bit of shield damage instead of instant death. That is true but I have been stuck inside models a number of times - it is better than blowing up but teleporting out of sector to fix things gets old That being said I broke down and installed the DFSI mod, seems like a good compromise and I'll do like ChairmanMauzer and add the seminar one to help fast-track certain positions.

Any freighters assigned as a trader for your factories will buy from your own factories, so if you reserve basics for yourself they'll essentially be mules (without using the mule mods).

So I bitched earlier about my station traders doing very little thinking it was the limitation of the piloting skill, however it turns out in my specific case it was actually a separate bug biting all the stations I was building. Turns out if you set drone level top-ups in the logistics view when constructing a station traders will be stuck looking for drone components! So the base information page shows "looking for trades" but in the detailed view you can see if they're stuck in this state. Setting station drones to zero and re-assigning all traders worked fine and my ships sold tens of thousands of chips in no time. (TBF I also installed DFSI for better levelling too which seems very nice)

If you only have one miner you should set it to Nvidium for max cash. It eventually will run out of places to sell but that'll be dozens of hours. FWIW the pricing for mineral seems to be nvidium > silicon > ore > ice.D. Ebdrup posted:I can't find a damaged singularity engine to save my life, orz.

Beefeater1980 posted:I uninstalled this to go play assassin’s creed for a bit, but one thing that still rankles with me is that you can’t easily set up automated supply routes for your own factories. Yes, you can mod it in but in a game that’s basically about setting up closed loop logistics chains and then letting them run unaided while you shoot aliens, it seems a strange oversight. You can sort of do it by restricting trade to other factions but still assigning traders, and setting the price as low as possible for the supply side. But I agree it'd be nicer to have something overtly like the CLS stuff in X3. The Mule mod is getting there though.
