(X3AP) Bonus pack: agreement with colleagues limited

Post by synctrance » Sun, 28. May 17, 10:30

It seems the agreement with colleagues for CAG is limited to 5 ships per ware, am i correct? E.g, you cant have more than 5 CAG's buying same ware simultaneously for 1 complex.

Iam talking about vanilla with nothing except bonus pack installed.

Just a guess, but don't the buying CAGs each reserve a full cargobay load's worth of storage space for that ware on their home complex and so will do something else if there is no more space available?

If i disable agreement with colleagues all of my CAG's take off (some to the same station that is), so i dont think it the case.

It should be easy to test Alan's guess:
Use M5 ships as CAGs to buy ECells for a complex. They cannot carry much, and thus one would need more than 5 ships to fill the complex in one go.

I did some more testing, even with M5's like suggested above, and there is definitely a trader limit induced by "agreement with colleagues":
- 5 simultaneous buyers for intermediate product
- 6 simultaneous buyers for a resource

I just wish i knew where to look in scripts to confirm it.

Also, colleague agreement causes those 5-6 CAGs go on standby randomly. To see 5 ships buy simultaneously is rare sight.

Probably the plugin.com.agent.main but it has a lot of details, ware-ID-arrays for the homebase and so forth.
