well, instead of replacing with an empty file or tiny invisible one, how about a Balrog (the big flaming demon from Lord of the Rings)

-a flaming demon telling the computer to shut up in her girly voice....

It cant just be a "no you shut up"

it has to be a venomous rant that lasts like a minute. personal attacks, hitting below the belt ect. the sort of rant that when you see happen IRL the entire room is quite afterwards.

and then make it so yisha never tells betty to shut up after that

[Kirmari]

temporary solution if you have a keyboard with marco keys you can set it to quicksave every ect 20 min as i program min to do it oslo have a potential of ower write a quicksave in wrong time and ruin it *like in Combat just as you die* so if you use it

USE IT WIT QURSION!!

and make a save as soon it does it at least it can be use as a reminder

"autosave got my brain to forget "

20 min in millisecond '1200000' does not show in pic nr was to big

yea i remap the key F5 to + on the numlock to quick asses

sorry for my bad english *it not my native*

click this, click that...hurm what would be better. I would request from an intrepid code monkey something stupidly simple. That being not having to triple click a ship to bring up the contextual menu.

Instead, just a mod to have them say hold the left mouse button down for a second or three and have the contextual options come up on their own...like an honest to god radial menu should.

I kind of think the devs needed some time off to play Sims 3...Now those are contextual menus. But For this, just a way to get rib of click clickclick...."I did not click fast enough..." clickclick...select click.

My menu screen has an option that says "bonus content"...

Hey Modders

I think the absolute first thing we need is the ability to issue move and stop commands to our ships. This would go a long way to fixing the game.

I know, weak of me to say it and not to have a go at it myself, I will perhaps if I find the time.

Ian

Protip: It's not necessarily about whether there will be a Bonus Pack but that it certainly wont include 99% of the stuff that has been requested here so far. Up till now this has just been a bad excuse to open yet another topic to request random stuff to be added / changed by people who have absolutely no clue what work it entails.

Just so we're all clear then, only expert programmers or people who are experienced in modding or scripting should have the right to make suggestions or requests for new mods without being belittled and made to feel like imbeciles? Is this correct?

I personally have a lot of respect and appreciation for your past contributions in terms of the mods/scripts you've created for the community, but I think expecting average gamers like myself to distinguish between possible and impossible modifications is a bit unrealistic. Discouraging community members from sharing their ideas for enhancing the game seems entirely unnecessary.

One of the reasons I LOVE the X games is because of the incredibly dynamic modding community and the wide array of modifications available. I'm looking forward to whatever mods you create for X Rebirth, but in the interim, is it really too much to ask to simply ignore those requests you don't consider worthy of your efforts?

Thanks

Actually, it works like this:

Anyone can go to their forum profile and activate their account for "dev net" (which is free) and read the Bonus Pack rules and procedures.
If they don't bother they will be belittled and made to feel like imbeciles. =P

Asking for something that is clearly not Bonus Pack material isn't helpful. It's spam.

My F Is currently cycling my weapons. But I may just get rid of my Q and E as the ship auto writes any way...why worry about rotation.

Unlikely you will find them as from all posts from Bernd on the Steam Forums indicate they do not exist. You can not tell small ships like fighters and freighters to go some where, you can how ever attach them to a cap...period.

Kind of a bummer...lost a Katana I captured to it puppy dogging around me...It got a few jumps behind and was beaten to death by Reavers. So I am for a mod that adds a stop, go to, and may be even Escort for those non-cap haulers.

[SirDeity]

Thanks for the clarification, Gazz. I took the liberty of deleting all use of the word "bonus" from the original post. Now people can post their ideas without fear of being ridiculed, right?

I don't have time to do any custom modding myself, but I signed up for dev net nonetheless. I'll do the level 5 NDA later if I ever decide to start programming some mods for the game.

There actually is a sector map there, its hard to find but it is there, and it looks almost like it did in X3. So it is there, its just buried deep in menus. Can someone put that map on that screen we have there in the cockpit, as a minimap?

Also can someone put the numbers and percentages back on the speed and shield bar?. I can hardly notice how much is left, especially when Im busiey fighting.

[Classic Style]

After (painfully) stumbling through the free play mode of the game for about an hour, I've come up with a list of functionality mods/improvements I'd love to see:
1) Average price paid for a good that is in your ship(s)'s hold, shown in the "buy/sell" interface. That way, when you are selling, you can see if the transaction is going to yield a profit, rather than having to track it on a notepad next to your keyboard.
2) Always ALWAYS show the current “sell” price for a commodity when dealing with a vendor. I know, it’s around 90.5% of the purchase price, but still, it would be nice to have when looking for profitable runs without having to guestimate it every time.
3) Quick key for buy/sell max available. It used to be Home/End in X3. What happened?
4) Target Nearest Enemy quick key. How does this not exist natively???

[UPDATE #1]
5) What the hell happened to sector and galaxy map!?!? Please bring back the old ones! Definitely DO NOT LIKE
[/UPDATE]

Sorry, I’m going to rant for a moment, but seriously, did ES even playtest the game? I feel like these features should have been implemented very early in development, especially since most of them were in X3R/TC/AP. I want to love this game (desperately) and I’m giving it every chance I can, but right now I’m woefully unimpressed and am reinstalling X3.

And look, I’m completely willing to eat crow if all these features are in the game and they just don't appear in the control settings. I would love to find out I’m wrong and all this stuff is there and I can mostly go back to loving this game. (Mostly because I can’t fly other ships/types).

Maybe a 5th mod would be "re-institute the X3 interface". For as awful as X3's UI was, it's eons better than this. </rant>

Thanks for reading and please don't take my comments the wrong way - I just want to see the game more playable/friendly.

[DaMuncha]

Yeah we need a sector trader software mod
