Yeah I too think it was simply that. Thanks for reporting issues and keeping your eyes on things.

Updated package to r5 to fix a rare issue with Better capital attack run where capital ships might get stuck attacking a ship that has since left the sector.

This is likely the last update to include Better capital attack run and many other changes as LU 1.6.0 will obsolete most of them, see the 1.6.0 changelog:

Litcube's Universe 1.6.0 has been released and makes many of the changes of this pack obsolete. DO NOT install this pack on LU 1.6.0.

I'll try to update the pack to work with LU 1.6.0 for the few things that are left in the pack and which are not yet made obsolete by vanilla LU.

Any idea when you plan to release this pack?

I refuse to look at my UTs and see there not named after my Corp.

Thanks for all your hard work,

Expressed interest certainly helps speed things up. I'm planning to resume (and complete) the X3LU stream series in 2 weeks from now, at the time it's likely I'll want to update the pack to work with >=1.6.0, for some of the same reasons you mentioned.

Just had an idea to manage blueprints, if it's possible.

option 1:
Base ships upon the Racial Shipyard.
you have to buy Argon Shipyard to build all the Argon ships, only at that shipyard.

option 2:
HQ - Large ships you build. : M0, M1, M2, M7, TL.
Shipyard - Support ships you build. : All Other Types.
Showroom - Ships you may not use at all. : everything else.

option 3:
use the ability of the ship viewer array and satelite network by Jourbarbe.
select ship type, race
then have an option to view or build by clicking on that ship.

Those seem like good general LU suggestions, consider posting on the official thread.

I doubt I'll be making such larger/dramatic changes to LU core systems, there's a reason why my pack starts with the word "Small", it's made of minimal changes to the code and behavior of the game, also, generally I'm against making any changes to the existing mechanics and have only made things that "add" to LU, rather than change how it currently works.

I would be happy to see both the play through's and the new files Dizzy. I've subscribed to your channel and I'm waiting to see the shit storm that you drop on the OCV

here's an idea for another small improvement.
change the crystal / mineral names

white metal to platinum
black crystal to black diamond
green crystal to emerald
etc

Hey Memeics, Do you have a release date for your tweaks yet?

Cheers,

Unfortunately no

I have installed LU again so there's some "progress"... I also looked at the list of changes from my pack vs LU 1.6.0 and the only things left (that will need to be ported over to LU >=1.6.0, everything else is already included in LU 1.6.0) are:

Player corporation/organization name
Collect lasertowers command

So this is actually going to take much less time than I thought... if I actually start to work on it. Hope to do that sometime this week.

Excellent.

I'm sure once you start playing again you'll find some more things to tweak.

Actually just started playing again, already ran into Phanon hunting party. They seem to be more aggressive then what I remember.

Thou one thing I did notice that was kind of cheesy was that the Pirate Stations have huge stock on goods with varies prices. For example, there's a pirate port that sells spaceweed for 2900, and one that buys for 4900.

/ramble

Anyway, that's for all your hard work and speedy responses.

Cheers,

Updated the pack for 1.6.0 (which should work on any LU version 1.6.0 and higher, at least it does with 1.6.2). The pack now only includes 2 changes, the Player Corporation Name (which has been updated to include the Player Console changes included in LU 1.6.0) and the Collect Lasertowers command. I have done some testing for both features and they seem to be working as intended but I haven't yet resumed my LU game to do a lot more testing.

Thanks memeics, it's the little things that can make all the difference.

Let the the torrent of smutty comments and sexual innuendo begin.

Glad to see part 10 uploaded. As you have probably gathered NoneOfMany is not me

HEADS UP: The current pack version is _mostly_ compatible with 1.7.0 and shouldn't break anything big but there were some updates done to the Player Console in 1.7.0 that will be overwritten if you install the current version of the pack. I will push an update fully compatible with 1.7.0 very soon.

Joubarbe · Post by **Joubarbe** » Thu, 5. May 16, 21:54

IS THIS COMPATIBLE RIGHT NOW FOR 1.7.0 ?!!!

Aa, the pain you guys must be going through answering stupid questions. Thanks for your work (and sorry for my own stupid questions)
