The problem that i'm getting at, is that there is no "more" or "Voyager" I've never seen those options before. they have been missing since 1.3/1.4 i assumed.

After going into property>call captain, this is what i am presented with:

yeah right, you use only this mod -- that won't work in this case

Carriers or Techsupport would bring that link normaly but under this condition

i add Adv_com.zip at http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php? ... 03#4607103 that only adds the "more..." link but have no further function

Oh wow!

Why in the world isn't it included with CWIR, or linked in the description

Thanks anyway, i have looked and looked, and i probably still wouldn't have figured it out XD

the feature is not essential to the mod and the functions are like a Qick&Dirt buld bonus of the intended feature we had build - so nobody think about that

Ah fair enough!

Yeah the plunder is an excellent idea! really makes the game more immersive, and adds great potential for pirates.

That's the reason i wanted to use it!

Funnily enough, after trying this for a few hours, the command works, and the ships seem to patrol and use cargo drones on enemy wreckage, but i see no wares? Not from warships freighters or anyone, nor on the station supposed to be recieving the wares.

does the Plunder command take a while to cycle for the stolen wares to appear on the station?

I have been doing this under test circumstances, still no wares plundered.

See the picture, i have 3 ships of differing types conducting "plunder".. However in 1 hour of plundering there are no wares present on the station or ships. I can confirm the ships are using cargo drones to gather something, but it appears to do nothing, and is only for show.

i shortly tested the function on an universal storage ship and ware got collected

here latest update of this feature, but this only adds the option to assign the ship to a station for plunderpatrol (instead of need to be docked) and have some small infos at start of the job
also you can call the pilot to change check-relation in case you are to friendly for this galaxy and want to kill am all

I love this mod!! I captured a k builder ship. I build 2 matrix and now I am producing my 40es I capital on only raw materials ore nividium sillicon and energy its really cheap!!!!!!!

johnycamaro · Post by **johnycamaro** » Wed, 1. Feb 17, 15:57

@marvin. I hired a contractor to build it. It worked I only had to pay 14m to build an I. And it did not get collected from account. I boarded the capital shipyard from shady vault pmc and it also works the same as mine own build capital shipyard. Know I got 4 shipyards . With you're file I need weapons and everything els. Know it is as it should be how the xenon build their ships.

Hi all is there a way to improve Drostan behavior in CWIR?

Shomey · Post by **Shomey** » Fri, 3. Feb 17, 16:52

I`m guessing this is not a beginner mod? I`ve progressed trough the campaign untill the vries I believe in the past. Don`t know much about advance combat, trading or building.

The mod is incompatible with the campaign for the duration of the main plot anyway. You have to either finish the main quests before installing, or install it on another game start.

Otherwise, no it's not a beginner's mod in the sense that your assets can really get blown up. However, you just have to get a bit careful as to where you build your stuff and you'll be fine. It will be a more active universe, but if you avoid the main xenon invasion path and the pirate-infested sectors until you have the fleet to defend your stuff, you'll be able to play it as any other game.

Shomey · Post by **Shomey** » Fri, 3. Feb 17, 22:56

I`ve started a game with the 3x taranis and 3x constructionship. Since I havent played much vanilla I`m still finding my way around but it`s fun so far. My fleet is still at the starting spot attack xenons that pass by.

Any pointers on which stations to build first? The game had some guidance that told me to get some architects, got one but the other 2 missions are open, no new missions yet.

I`m assuming it`s smart not building in the maelstrom?

Hi @BlackRain and @MarvinMartian: Have you had any luck with your experiments creating a new mod that simulates the economy with faction budgets, etc.? Just curious. Thanks!

Marvin is working on the basic code. Currently he is coding faction AI for different types of factions and he has a few working well but more work is needed. I will eventually start work on building the universe (meaning eliminating everything and adding things in from scratch, including changes to economy and production). Once Marvin has enough code for me to test out factions in an empty universe i will and then we can add more from there. Marvin can give more info on what he is doing if he wants. Anyway it wont be soon.

Very cool, thanks! I definitely understand this will take a while. If testers would be valuable at any point, I bet at least some of your many users would be interested! Thanks again!

Will this include Pirate and Xenon economy?

We already have a basic Xenon economy in place in CWIR. I suppose we could refine it further.
