Build diplomatic outpost in Teladi Space

Post by Baggins46 » Sun, 16. Apr 23, 19:47

I have bought all the required blueprints but when I come to build it I cannot find the shield generator. I have definitely bought the blueprint but cannot find it in the plan build list of modules. The obvious place is in defence modules but it isn't there. Anybody any ideas.

You can check your owned blueprints in the encyclopedia - maybe you bought the S variants? (turrets need M)

When I did it, I just added 6 shields to the Defence Disc (place the Defence disc module, then right click on the Defence disc module in the station build UI, and choose Edit module, click each highlighted turret slot and then select the shields to add to that slot from the menu on the left). Think I used the Boron MK3 shields on my build.

After that I just grabbed a couple of Buffalo to go get necessary resources and deliver to the stations build storage.

might need to double-check the individual parts you set on the disc, or as an alternative, just set the disc to "high presets" (top menu)

spot-checked mine (since completed) and mine had a mix of both L and M sized MK3 shields.

Right click and edit, that did the trick. Thanks for the advice.

:) :thumb_up:

Another tip: If you build your own stations, set it to Custom loadout, then the manager will not fill every editable module with turrets (FPS hog)
Setup one defence module with turrets / shields as desired .. And because its a PITA editing lots of these, just copy that module after editing.
Saves time when building/planning your defences. I like to build them around the perimeter of a station when Im happy with it, so that they dont shoot through other modules when defending (kind of ruins the immersion a bit seeing it shooting through your own station modules)

I have all of the required structures on bigger 10x10x10 plot and no sign of the quest ending.

I added water, body, plankton so the boron’s have food.

The station is fully built. I am unable to hand it over to the Boron. I have piloted erlking to it, an astrid to it, attempted to comm with it. Nothing. It has been built for two in real life days at this point.

It's automaticly handed over - if it meets the requirements.

Common user errors are:
- adding the wrong armament / station modules
- not noticing that the armament might not be built yet as the materials are missing (station construction & construction ship assigment are independent from armament construction)

I suspect the last point to be the problem - as it is the most common misunderstanding. Make sure there are no required materials left, and if so make it a point to deliver them yourself. Once they are there the construction of the missing armaments is pretty quick and automated.

I rebuilt the station using only what is specified. When that was done and the mission did not close, I removed all the weapons from the disc module and it completed.

Yes, that is to be expected. If a mission specifies the components which have to be delivered / installed anything not as specified will be refused. (it's e.g. the same for a particular fleet building mission type - one of the two won't allow to install better / more weapons and only accepts the requested weaponary).

I'd guess you used some kind of preset for the defense module?

Anyway, glad you could progress the mission - enjoy the reward =)

Still not working. I tried:
- Only medium slots (6), all equiped with weapons/MK2 shields
- Only medium slots , all equiped with MK2 shields (no weapons)
- Only medium slots , all equiped with MK1 shields (no weapons)

The Edit menu says there are "6x BOR M Shield Generator Mk1" or "Mk2" shields.
All materials are delivered, "Everything is OK" message, everything is green, no pending orders.

Nothing, mission does not complete.

Please fix it, why are we being punished, this is a game not ATO? The instructions don't specify what not to build, don't even specify which shields to build. And why does it matter? Or be specific. I spent 2 hours completing this mission, and now this is a throw-away expansion as I can't progress further.

On my game, I had to remove all weapons and just use shields on the modules.

give the station some money, a manager, a trading ship. Make sure the hull is 100%, and that trade, defense and repair drones are fully stocked.

Thanks mate, did that. Money, manager, trade ship, drones, hull 100%.

Can someone maybe post their save file with mission complete so that I can compare? Thanks.

Can you provide a save where the mission does not complete?

Hello, in your save you built a wrong storage module. The mission is maybe unnecessarily specific in that it asks for a Boron S Container Storage Module which it doesn't recognise on your station.
