X3R Universal traders sometimes don't work

Post by X-fryer » Fri, 21. Jul 23, 19:16

I'm having a problem with some of my sector traders not progressing to universal traders. They have 8 rank and all the necessary tech, yet the UT command won't go blue and is unavailable. Any ideas why this happens and what I could do to remedy it would be appreciated.

Which X game?

X3 Reunion, sorry, I forgot to say.
p.s. Is there any sites which are dedicated to that game. I was a member of an excellent community X2 something or other, I forgot it's precise name and haven't been able to find it. They're not on the community links page anymore. It was run by one of the members who went by the name of Skyman on that site, so possibly here as well.
p.p.s. I have notices that most of the links on the community links page don't work anymore.

Do you have any mods or scripts installed besides the bonus pack?

Yes. I made ships in the script editor. Some worked some didn't, so I modified the script to remove trade system tech, then went and bought it instead. That didn't solve the issue. I do have enough credits to sell those ships and buy new ones, would that work, if so how do I transfer pilots?
I'm running 2 games one vanilla, the other I've written 2 ship types

In Reunion there are several requirements for UT which include 25MJ shields installed.

Later games removed this and only require level 8
