Not sure about the other two, but "nada" is incorrect here.
"Nada" is Spanish for "nothing", not for "none". Spanish for "none" is "ninguno" (masculine) or "ninguna" (feminine).

Sorry guys, I couldn't resist, :D

Now, regarding reinforced metal plating, what you must do is build a factory that produces it, like I did. Now I produce so much of it that I can give it away (not really, it's too profitable for that). I built the factory in Wavy Haze and it's making me rich (I get 7 million credits every time that station trades with the ai).
Yep, sure, you need RMP in order to build anything, I know, but with only 1000 units of it you can get your factory started, you just need to know which modules to build first.
I remember a time when I was desperate to find RMP like most of you guys. I remember visiting Forged Welded Mail like Goliathmk2 suggested, but I also visited other sectors. The trick I learned (pretty obvious, if you ask me) was to follow the ships that bought RMP to their original factories, like some kind of detective, if you will. This was harder than it seems since finding out where those ai ships were coming from required exploring neighboring sectors in order to establish their trade routes. You need to remember the name of the captain or the exact number of wares that ship is carrying and then try to find the ship after it jumps/boosts away. It's a load/save trial and error kind of thing.
This way I knew who was buying the stuff. So instead of patrolling RMP producing zones, I started patrolling RMP buying zones. Guess what?
I found freighters carrying RMP this way that I wouldn't have found any other way.
Also, if you get sick of looking for those freighters and decide that the RMP scarcity issue is just a design flaw, you can always use this mod > http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... earchtext=
It adds just the factory you need (Third Duke, that's in Ascendancy, Albion. The factory belongs to Ledda Industial, I think.).
If you ask me, this isn't a cheat, this mod just solves a design problem of the game. Anyway, even if you use the mod, you need to be smart about it. You need the money to buy RMP (which is expensive) and you also need to keep in mind that the reserves of that factory will run out, eventually. So build yourselves a nice RMP factory with the little RMP you can get and problem solved.

Sure this is too a way to get around this Problem, but its not what makes a game fun.
There still many Mission Design Problems an Bugs in Story Missions and that in a Game that hat Version number 3.0 !!!
The Escorte Mission for the Freighter in Omicron Lyre for example is damm buggy. Frighter flys into things, Frighter drops out of Tradelane without reson, Frighter stops and do nothing anymore just standing still or flys back all the way to the start. Or it ignores tradelanes and fly through empty space with a speed that would take years to arrive.
And thats only ONE mission.
I like the game but those things make me angry

Janitor, how many mods are you using?

I've no problem with escort missions (other than the time they take & the concentration required) except with the autopilot when
  • a) the target is near a station (eg the end of the mission)
    b) autopilot drops out of highway 64K Km away from target.

Reinforced Metal Plating & Fusion Reactors.

Post by rolltidemustang » Sat, 10. Jan 15, 03:48

It seems we need a topic just for this only RMP & RF only.
I would be mad to long play & nothing. Now since 3.10 has anything changed? You can not buy RMP correct? You can not buy FR correct? (NO MOD INSTALLED) Not what I see I mapped the entire system as in the campaign not finished. I have not been in Omicorn Lyre stuck on URV Forge. I see 2 RMP that buy it. I assume I must be there to capture a ship to get any. The reactors is a bigger issue to me I see no sell or buy. I have no clue where to start any ideas or should I use a MOD for less stress lol? If any MODS give the url please. I read this quote ty_cho "You are not required to complete the station for the plot to advance, you just have to start construction, and the plot will continue. Later in the plot you gain access to a whole new cluster where you will be able to get the resources you need to complete the station. Now is he talking about Omicorn Lyre? He said New Resources now is that RMP & RF or something else?

@ theManx: Given the many rapid changes of topic in this thread, what doesn't work as of 4.21?

@ theManx:

This thread was started nearly four years ago and the last post was more than two and a half years ago. During that time there have been several updates to the game, so much of what's in this thread may no longer be relevant. If you have something not working in your game, please create your own thread and not dredge up old ones.
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

X4 is a journey, not a destination. Have fun on your travels.
