- bagged a Rahanas, and now have a CV..

[BugMeister]

been faffing about exploring for ages..

just for fun, I boarded a Rahanas in Steady Mole, part of a fleet of traders
- didn't disable the jumpdrive quickly enough and he jumped with my marines aboard..
- had to do some quick travelling to catch up with them in Cuspid Splint
- my marines survived and the container ship was taken.. HUZZAH!!

- so, how to upgrade it..??

[Subtra]

Get a Big Ship Commander on Board and get it to a Shipyard of your Trust, there you can upgrade that thing.

[BugMeister]

I've posted a Captain, Defense Officer and an Engineer aboard..

- fancy I'll dock aboard the Rahanas and fast-travel to Omicron, there's a big shipyard in Eternal Dawn..

PS: this is a free start game..
- have 3 mill creds, and missiles galore aboard the Skunk

It has a repaired jump drive but it may still have damage to the main engines and/or some weapons and shields.

Hireable NPCs (available in most stations, even in hostile zones)
- Captain: Needed so you can give the ship orders, such as to go places.
- Engineer: Can repairs jump drive, engines, defences and hull (up to 75%).
- Defence Officer: Needed in order to use on-board weapons and drones.

Stations
- Needed to add any drones you might like that are missing:
--- Cargo drones needed on ship or station to load/unload cargo.
--- Various combat drones can be used if you like.
--- Construction drones speed up repair but are not needed.
- Can repair hull from 75% to 100% but debatable if needed.
--- Hull damage doesn't reduce speed in X Rebirth.
--- Getting the 25% back is +33% but not sure worth cost in vanilla.

I had an incident where a PMC Boann opened fire on me after popping in at a jump beacon so I decided to take it away from PMC.

I popped it's jump drive, took out the first engine ... and then it boosted to the next zone dragging me along inside it's gravity well.

Hahah, that was hilarious, quite a story to tell the kids
Never experienced that, but it sure came out kinda funny.

- running the 64-bit BETA version..

- the skunk, looking good..

[BugMeister]

docked the Skunk onboard my Rahanas,
and asked the Captain to take me to the Shipyard..

[ external image ]
- lovely views on the way..

- have now bought a Construction Vessel and installed an Architect
- where's the best place to build a Station and what's the procedure, guys.. (??)

PS: have installed Observe's mod for External Camera onto the Skunk
- used the Steam Workshop to do it, very smooth..

[Sparky Sparkycorp]

Nice photos; it feels like we're on facebook

Sorry, I don't know OL yet.

[BugMeister]

installed a new (vaguely "unofficial") BETA gfx driver - 14.6 RC1
have had a few hiccups and freezes, so dropped Observe's mod
for the time-being (- enough to contend with, already..)
also had to disable the crossfire to get it to run smoothly..

after all, the 64-bit version of X:Rebirth is still in BETA, as well..
- anything can happen in the next half-hour.. *gulp*


- ever onward!!

[BugMeister]

drat, had to roll back to 14.6BETA v1,
as the RC is proving a little unstable with this set-up..

game has frozen a couple of times with a "Not Responding" error via Task Manager..
no probs, though - it's an occupational hazard in BETA-land

- anyway, a question or two:
I have started constructing a Cell Recharge Factory in Eternal Dawn

Q1: at the moment there's only an Architect onboard the CV,
is there any way I can add other (appropriate) crew to the CV to
help speed up the build process..

Q2: I met a Cell Specialist on RoC Energy Farm2 in Radiation Belt, would
it be worthwhile getting him onboard the CV, given it's a Cell process Station

Q3: can I assign my Rahanas to the CV to assist?

- cheers..

Hello,

1. No, sorry. It looks like the build process is automated so maybe we could hire a new Drone Control Specialist in the future. We could hire them for shipyards too.

2. Not for the CV. I didn't read there description; if they help make cells then you can hire them and tell them work on the station.

3. Yes, but I don't know if I works yet (didn't seem too in my 2.0-2.1 game but I'm a station noob).

Hello there,

for building stations my advice is to take a look what kind of station is needed in the sector then decide to build, here is an example.

assendancy doesn't have a cell recharge fac so all ships need to jump to gem stone or cuspid split to refuel, so it seems a cell recharge would be a good choice to build.

if you want to build a metal refinery best build in a zone with ore and sil so your miners can mine freely.

also you want to build stations that produce a good in high demand but rare to find in the sector/galaxy for example meat in devries if you are the only supplier then there is room for profit.

you can assign ships to managers with some success but the AI is stupid and might not trade, assigning mining ships seems to work fine
