Description

Enables the hidden resupplier ships and restores their intended functionality as mobile equipment docks.
Players can now buy or build their own resupplier ships at any Argon, Teladi, Paranid or Player (provided they have the appropriate blueprint) shipyard.
These resupplier ships work as mobile equipment docks and/or wharfs and players can use them to equip their ships or produce new ones as it they were stations, with the benefit of them being fully functional ships.
Vanguard variants of the resupplier ships work as equipment docks (they can modify and repair ships but produce new ones), while Sentinel variants work as fully functional wharfs capable of building new ships.
Please, do note that, for now, players will be required to supply the required building wares to the ship manually, either by trading with resupplier itself or by using M size freighters.

God, the Paranid resupplier is what Paranid military ships should have been instead of big hairdryers.
Congrats for finding this though !

Ooooh, I wonder if there are any more hidden away?

I also wonder if these were left out because they bugged or broke something else.

These are the only hidden ships if you don't count #deca, which doesn't even have a ware.

Wait... what? #deca is hidden in the game files is it!? maybe devs have plans.

I can't help but really like the ship designs for these versus some of the other ships. For example, the argon one looks like it would make a great carrier using the pads for landing and the launch tubes to send a crap ton of fighters out.
The teladi one looks great with that ring on it too.

afaik they are supposed to be fleet resupply ships providing missiles etc which is why they arent in the game by default because we don't have that yet.

If these worked as intended (restock etc) would that not make carriers pointless?

Only as much as having an Elite makes a Discover pointless I reckon.
My question is, and maybe I'm dumb and there is a way to get them into cargo, but how do I restock ships with missles (If these things apparently only carry 40?)

The restock command is disabled for player ships.

Code: Select all

<handler name="ResupplyHandler">
        <conditions>
          <!-- param="'resupply'" param2="$urgent?" param3="$debugchance_interrupt" -->
          <event_object_signalled object="this.ship" param="'resupply'"/>
          <!-- TODO: If we decide to provide a way for the player to modify the loadout for player-owned ships, check for that and activate here. Otherwise, this will lead to player-owned ships buying things that the player did not authorize. -->
          <check_value value="not this.assignedcontrolled.isplayerowned"/>

It would require a mod to add it in for players and for the mod to include these ships as a valid restock target.

If the devs don't have plans for it I'm sure some modder will take it upon themselves to have each one better at a specific role. The Carriers holding more S ships while the Resuppliers having only limited docking for M & S ships, maybe no ship storage, and more cargo space comes to mind immediately. Either way once the resupply is working that will be great.

I will take a look at that when I'm back (explanation: viewtopic.php?f=181&t=403662&p=4805393#p4805393. The same applies to this one).
Something else I was thinking is giving them equipment dock or wharf capabilities for the time being.

Very WIP but it works:

---v1.00---

• Initial public release
• Mod renamed to Mobile Ship Production

[aftokinito]

I added some documentation to the repository's wiki for developers to have a general idea of how to make their mod ships capable of ship building: https://bitbucket.org/aftokinito/x4-mob ... production

Wow, amazing mods people are making, just.. Wow!

[Azran_Zala]

I know I mentioned it before in POSY thread. - but wasn't sure at the time it had any connection with this mod -

But after doing more testing on clean new save (and without any edited ships besides the two added by this mod; and no other mods) ; and can confirm for some reason I cannot explain:
I get a crash to desktop when ordering Nomad Sentinel to attack a target; as-well as when flying it myself & changing turret behavior to attack target/enemies while present (If enemies are present - it crashes immediately as I switch turret behavior from defense to attack. (No issues using other cap ships)

I then added an Arawn from ashipmod; tested it in a fight - no issues;
Then modded the ship adding the code you described in your wiki to add a ship warf to it; ordered it to attack = immediate crash to desktop. (the warf works fine though )

I can't imagine why or how this is happening with its connection to this mod, and It doesn't seem to leave anything obvious in the debug log on crash (doesn't even mention the crash... just creates a dump file) but its what I'm experiencing.
Not sure if anyone else is getting this. But I can reproduce the crash immediately and consistently though.

Edit/ps : I don't know if you used a station module to integrate into the ship or wrote a new macro from scratch, but is there any chance it thinks its a station module or something and is trying to run a different combat script for structures maybe? - just a thought.

I found an issue where I can't cancel a construction of the Nomad Sentinel at my player shipyard.
