[MOD]Ledda Industrial - new Construction Shop in Albion

Post by nidaren »

Ledda Industrial Construction Shop

Now also supports existing savegames, no need to create a new one

Mod adds Ledda Industrial Construction Shop in The Third Duke zone (Ascendancy), which enables the player to obtain Reinforced Metal Plating without the need to spend hours hunting PMC ships in story mode.

This extentension is aimed to offer player a choice to either pirate Reinforced Metal Plating from the PMC or acquire them via trading, risking sending freighters to Albion.

New Construction Shop in The Third Duke / Ascendancy zone

In the current game build, if the player is hostile to PMC it can take hours to gather needed Reinforced Metal Plating required for most stations construction.

It is often happens that only small ships carry this resource and it is close to impossible to find them no matter if player hangs near Jump Beacons, stations that produce it or the Shady Vault hub.

This problem has been also described in the thread here as happening to some of the players that spent too long in the game before trying to acquire the plates.

Mod Changes:
  • Creates a fully functional Construction Shop in The Third Duke zone in Ascendancy that sells Reinforced Metal Plating
  • Factory belongs to the Ledda Industrial faction, that remains neutral to the player through the story mode.
  • Enables the option to either hunt the materials from PMC or just trade to obtain them.
  • Works on existing games, so you don't need to start a new one.
  • Station is fully functional, having all management and service ships (miners etc)
  • Mod enables the player to wander off the storyline while the gate to Omicron Lyrae is still closed and rebuild DeVries, while still being required to pay for obtaining the resources.
Some backstory
Specialising in heavy construction and bulk manufacturing, Ledda Industrial's biggest client is the Plutarch Mining Corporation. Their Shipyards and Drone Production Facilities regularly churn out new assets for PMC which some representatives of Heart of Albion declare to be considered 'troubling'.
In anticipation of the incoming outbreak of a conflict between the Heart of Albion and hostilities versus newly discovered Republic of Cantara, Ledda Indistrial saw an excellent opportunity for new trade possibilities and hefty profits. As PMC's main source of needed materials Ledda felt confident that despite PMC's strong opposition to the new project, they won't be able to jeopardize it in any way, without risking Ledda cutting their supply lines.

This is nice to hear...See lack of savegame compatibility has always turned me off mods.

Just 1 question, is pirating freighters really the only way to obtain the Reinforced Metal Plating in the story mode?

Hey there,

Yes - there are other methods - but NOT until you open the gate to OL.

A lot of players believe that best time to start the building efforts in DeVries is when you get the mission to build Drone URV station, wander off to start the empire, without actually building it at that point. That also means that gates to OL are still shut

I agree and hence the mod:)
