Fix for 'Brantlee Northriver's Competition?!?

Post by Prosik » Thu, 17. Mar 22, 07:42

Bozo Ta - "Oh My, that sure is an interesting ship modification! Unfortunately, it is not in the required category!"

Infinite loop video comm channel even though the "engine" mod was installed first and approved by Dagobas.
Allowing additional 'shield' and 'chassis' mods after the inital 'engine' mod would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

I haven't experienced the "infinite" loop because I didn't see any special mod to install, but ..

.. Because I didnt see any special mod listed, decided to just mod the ship to death anyway, and because I did many re-installs to try and get the best rolls of the dice, I had just as many repeats of Boso Ta saying this.

So for every install of chassis, shield, engine etcetera mods I re-rolled then I had a stream of these messages from Boso which took ages to finish, but they did eventually stop. Soooo annoying!.

What is the special engine mod called?, because I did not see anything unusual in the mod lists.

Its not a special engine mod from what I can tell. I tried several in green, blue and purple and Boso did not complain until I installed one that was not an 'engine' mod.
Problem is just an engine mod is not enough sometimes and a chassis mod like a chassis polisher really ups the velocity.
There is another thread as a bug report here I found after posting this:

Update: I am locked after I mod a single M class ship I get the response from Dagobas but the quest does not continue.
I am guessing that I should get an update to send the ship to the close to the finish line. But I am stuck at Mod a fast M class ship.
Nothing progresses even building a new one and attempting to mod it does nothing now.

did you goto dukes station to get that dukes part for the mod? you can't just put any ole mod on the ship. has to be the one that drops from a ship around Dukes i believe. it also has to be the advanced 2nd tier mod if read the mission. cheers.

Negative!! Nothing about this Quest requires 'Dukes' or even mentions 'Dukes'. Please do not spread misinformation!!.

the teladi you save from the ship literally puts a duke's station on your map and you goto that station and wait, then are told to destroy a medium ship, and IT drops the part and the quest shows add module to fast medium sized ship. that is not misinformation, that is an option to the mission. their might be other ways but that is 100 percent part of it somehow.

yes, it starts there and is part of the new quests. after find yourself a scientist, that teladi guy goes onto your HQ and you get part of the quest from there. the mod is for the race against the dood while you're trying to figure out about the protectyon. im well aware of what DLC this is.

Your quest is either different or mine is all borked up. I am at the Mod ship part and in NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM has Dukes entered my quest!!
I modded the ship and Dagobas has not mentioned anything except great the ship is modded now you just need to send a duplicate ship to close to the finish line.
The Hotfix reverted me back to Install the mod and that is where I am stuck.

DUKES IS NOT IN MY QUESTLINE and NO KILL QUEST has been given!!

I got two Boa transporters, first one with Overdrive engine mod for the start/race intro, second near the finish line.
As soon as we begin, I Teleport into second Boa and cross the finish line first (just straight through the ring)... but then nothing happens. The message is still "Race towards the finish line". If I contact Astrid who then arrives as second, he just says "I can't believe it took you that long", meaning I lost the race.

Any hints?

You have to participate in the race at first (to keep up appearances). You will be told when to teleport :wink:

Oh, wow, thanks! Yes, that message appeared later, tho' seems that that guy was already at finish at that point.

But...
this revealed another problem!
On my first attempt I used two Katanas. I sent the 2nd one close to finish line and that one got "accepted" by the mission. First Katana was then rejected by Astrid (!), as "not being the correct ship type", doh!
I just went on to use Boas instead, but now when ordered to Teleport, I'm being directed to "mission accepted" Katana from first attempt. Conclusion: mission fragged, had to reload to hours before and start it all over again (will try to do it later).

Note to all, Boso will obviously let you mod wrong ship type (no warning) and if you set the same fake one close to goal, imho you can't complete the mission any more.

Hmmmm I don't remember this at all and I'm now at the race part (placing the second ship).
Is it possible because I had already discovered the Duke (BUC) stations?

I got a message from Boso regarding a T3 mass mod being interesting, then the quest completed when I put a T3 Engine mod in.
I didn't have to kill anything either.
