...COMPLETEWelcome, to what may just be the lamest-titled DiD ever. Well, it's not exactly a DiD. Just be warned that a little bit of my anime tastes will bleed through (it already did... just look at the main character's name), but I'll try to keep it to a minimum. Also, I'm not a master of the X-Universe. I know a few things here and there from reading the encyclopedia entries, but nothing too specific.
Anywho, this is a DiD with an end goal: Dismantle the Phanon Corporation and its subsidiaries. IIRC the way the mod works is that it'll always rebuild its subsidiaries, but I have a system to make sure there's a definite end to the DiD aside from my untimely death.
First off, here's the GIANT list of mods that will be active in the playthrough:
- XRM X-Rebalance Mod
- Phanon Corporation: An Aggressive Competing Corporation
- CODEA + CODEA for XRM Dockware Size Fix
- Basic Salary
- Personnel Transport
- Military Transport
- MARS Fire Control
- Custom Start Script
- Litcube's Bounce
- Cheat Package (mainly fixing glitches and "restoring" save states after a crash)
- Salvage Command Suite
- Salvage Commands & NPCs
- NPC Bailing
- Marine Repairs
- Immersive Environments + IEX + XRMi
- Docking Lock-up Fix
- Galaxy Explorers
- Drone Defense Network
- Freight Distribution Network + Lite
- Production Modules
- Yaki and Pirate Ranks
- Numeric Ranks
- Low-poly Asteroids
- Capital Ship Energy Cell Generator
- Ring of Fire + Stealth Satellites
- Parsed TShips and TBullets to remove trails
- Sector Takeover (taxes ALWAYS on)
- Scorp's X3 Map (actually used on a separate save, mainly used to plan out complexes in the new sectors)
I told you guys it's giant. Up next is the ruleset:
1. This DiD will actually give me 3 "lives," giving myself some leeway because I'm complete trash at this game. This will, of course, be tracked. Still, three strikes and I'm out.
2. While most starts truly begin at the start, I most certainly won't. I'm giving myself a fully armed Argon M6 Nexus, and 45 Million Credits. As I am to be a "rival" to the Phanon Corporation and their "shady deeds," I start with the same money that their first subsidiary, TandiTech. This will be done through Custom Start Script. TandiTech will ALWAYS start with a M1, so I'm definitely not going into their sector off the bat.
3. Because I am not doing any plot storylines (not even the Xenon Hub), I'm giving myself my PHQ right at the start, along with a Mammoth (instead of that slow-ass Albatross)
4. The main objective stands: dismantle and halt all Phanon Corporation activity. Though they respawn, I will be listing the subsidiaries that I must "kill off" in order to win in every chapter's "Current Objective".
5. The Space Administration Bureau is a completely neutral group, with members from every race, including Terran. While it sounds a bit too convenient, every single race will be at 1. HOWEVER, Yaki and Pirates are an automatic -5 for being a member of a universal peacekeeping organization.
6. While the SAB is a peacekeeping organization, NANO-HA is not. We are here to take the law to the lawless. Hell, WE ARE THE LAW. If I have to take over a Pirate or Yaki sector to make supply lines faster and safer, I'll be damn pleased to do so. I'm also authorized to claim unknown sectors and contested sectors (named sectors without an owner in XRM), becoming neutral ground between races.
7. If I "die" when I get a rep increase and the previous save did not include this rep increase, I will add it. i.e. I get Argon 5 99% but my last save was only Argon 3, I will use cheat scripts to put it to Argon 5 0%.
And with that said, let's begin!
