Version 3.3 FOCW Alpha
1) Issues with Xenon ships not spawning "should" be fixed. All Xenon miners and such should spawn now, let me know if you are still not seeing any Xenon ships (for those whose xenon are no longer producing). In my game, the Xenon are doing okay.
2) More Xenon ships/fleets will be built.
3) Stronger Xenon ships (increase in shielding and hull)
4) Slight increase in speed of Xenon M pulse turrets.

Please keep in mind, make a save before you load this version because of the increase in Xenon ships. Let me know how performance is for you over time. Also, let me know if the Xenon do better in your universe over all. Don't expect immediate changes but hopefully the xenon will progressively do better. Let me know.
hi I did a fast run through the miners are working now keeping the shipyards running ,im on beta 2.50
Sorry, are you saying that my changes seem to be working and miners are doing their thing or are you saying that 2.5 made miners work better?

K, good. Glad to hear it. In my game, the Xenon are definitely stronger than they were. Still difficult for them because they have to fight so many enemies but they are gaining some ground.

Hi everyone, I have a huge problem with this mod.

It seems that as soon as the relationship with Argon +10 the fleets with mk1 become hostile and attack me! but didn't I do anything? do you know the reason?

I am sorry, but I do not understand what you are saying here. This mod adds ships to the game, it has nothing to do with faction relation. Using this mod should not affect your relations with a faction.

This might have nothing to do with the actual mod.

Check if you have following:
- any ship assigned to defend the stations.
- any ships to set to patrol command.
- any ship set to defend the area.

Currently in vanilla X4 there is broken feature that your patrol/defend ships will respond to distress call from two warring factions, even if both of them are friendly with you (this migth be fixed in 3.0 when Egosoft will review the sector ownership feature).
It might be that the attack is just coincident with the moment you got 10+ rank. but has nothing to do with it.

It's a reason why I do not use patrol/defend nor I assign any combat ships to the defend stations.

That's strange. Did you put the mod in when you created a new game or later? They usually seem to do well in my game, but there does seem to be an issue with Xenon ships and OOS combat.

Started the game with your mod, but I still have a mod "war factions"
Xenon lost those two system which border with argon, now they argon

Does the current version work with the 2.5 Betas?

Yes. It should always work with any new version.

I am considering lowering significantly the number of normal faction ships and increasing number of xenon ships. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Think, Strengthen the xenon can be respawntime ships, who will join the xenon fleet. The cessation of spawning to make depending on the life of any xenon buildings...

Is there any way to influence how fast a faction takes a sector? Without actually fighting I mean.

Xenon ships seem to loose all their weapons extremely quickly in OOS combat. They are strong even in vanilla if your IS when a fresh K shows up, but as soon as you leave the area it looses all it's guns shortly after. I'm not currently running FOCW, so it's definitely nothing you've done.

Xenon ships also don't seem to get many ticks in OOS combat. I watch groups of P's or M's tangling with stuff they can easily roll over, but OOS most of the time just registers them getting hit, but usually not them doing any damage. Again, happens in vanilla

It would be nice xenon reinforce that without the player the other races slowly lose.

Admitted, this is a bad bug for the Xenon. Sometimes I appreciate this though when some sectors aren't wiped out while I am off doing some errand. I am prone to reloading/restarting if HAT or Teladi lose a main trading station for example. Or Argon Prime loses it's shipyard and creates a new one on the edge of nowhere. As it stands now in this mod the Xenon will mostly likely eventually win in any case.

However it is still wrong and maybe there some ways to mitigate this by giving certain Xenon ships at least a single forward pointing hull integrated weapon? Forward pointing so as to allow boarding operations from the rear.

EDIT: And although a K is strong IS it still has the silly vulnerability of an unguarded back. I just finished killing a K attacking HAT's Trading Posting with a Courier slowly chewing on it's back. I can't do that OOS. With IS combat the Xenon have pretty much lost already because there is a real human present.

Any news? I find it still works well but over time HoP seem to build more ships than anyone else so dominate the galaxy.

Just started playing again. So I am observing to see how things go. Good to know about HOP, I will consider lowering their ships a bit. I am more concerned with Xenon right now.

I can also confirm I have noticed HOP producing a higher number compared to other factions. While they should as they are fighting a war on 3 fronts, it seems to be a lot higher then other factions.

I have been holding Second contact for a few days now after helping ANT retake it, and their attack force typically consists of 12-15 oddys, a large number of M sized ships, and 60-80 fighters. I have never seen these numbers from the Argon or Antigone. Though having a crappy economy could partly be to blame for that

Well, I started a brand new game. I don't know about when you guys started the game you are playing (which version of X4) and also whether you are using other mods. All of these things could have an impact on how the game plays out. Starting a new game with X4 2.5 and also the faction war mod. In my game of 1 day and several hours, the Xenon are just crushing the universe lol. They have conquered 5 sectors and keep expanding. HOP is definitely not too strong in this game as they already lost a sector.
