[X3TC] The doomed NavSat Factories.

[pSylle]

Hi ;D

As far as i played, ive never seen any race using Nav. Satellites.

Does this mean NavSat factories are doomed to disappear due to no buyers?
(Just to well understand the X world).

They don't 'use' them, but various trading stations and others do buy them from the traders, who buy them from the factories. If you notice, satellite factories rarely have many in stock, usually meaning someone is buying them.

NPC traders buy AdvSats from my factories at well over average price. I have no idea what they do with them, but I'm happy to take their money.

Hmm, so how come all terrans heavy missiles factories have disappeared, i mean, isnt there some traders buying them for their collection?

I think theres a bug there since, compared to eng.xtc.ru database, i miss more than 30 factories in all terran sectors including all Phantom missiles factories in early game making my hard-won Claymore a useless flying box.

The Terran issue is more likely due to the weapons factories not getting the resources they need, and hence GoD removing them for being non-productive. Although I think that was modified a bit in the latest patch to keep those factories around longer. Are you patched to 2.1?

What I did to help keep the Terran factories around, and even generate new ones, was to run several sector traders in Terran space with limited ranges. They made a small profit and kept the weapons production going.

Yes, im patched 2.1, i was wondering if the new aldrin missions was the guilty

As i said it was very early in the game, as soon as i could shield my claymore, the factories were gone.

About satellites, so i gues i can build some factories and have some profiiiitttts then.

Thanks for replies
