Has anyone managed to have a pilot bail yet?

Post by nemesis1982 » Fri, 14. May 21, 14:47

Been playing for quite a few hours. Killing many Xenon and Pirates. None have bailed yet!

Anyone got a pilot to bail?

Keep in mind that it's still a work in progress although it's taking shape nicely.

If anyone is interested in a new save game editor for X4 and would like to contribute to the creation of one let me know. I do not have sufficient time to create it alone, but if there are enough people who want it and want to contribute we might be able to set something up.

It's a bug in the release version. Should be fixed in update 1.10. Please see the beta changelog for reference.

yes in 1.0 you can only get them to bail if you demand their surrender via com.
In beta 1.1 regular bailing is working.

Hahaha, so now I got a few pirates to bail. I claim one of the ships and get destroyed by the Paranid Destroyer next to me...

Probably a bug as well :P

Hmm, the military getting hostile on claim is still a thing in 1.1 RC1 it seems. Is this by design then?

I got a pirate to bail

right after I got the plot-related Nemesis.
I flew into Holy Vision gamma, spotted a pirate in a Pericles and commed with 'surrender' and he bailed immediately.

Maybe it was the M6 vs M4 that convinced him...
This was in the straight-outta-the-box 1.0 version.

This happened prior to the completion of the Xenon Hub plot, when Holy Vision and The Void were the only two systems on the map.

The surrender option works in X3FL now, it wasn't actually doing anything in any of the previous games. What's not working and should be fixed in update 1.10 is the normal bailing, i.e. you shoot at a ship and the pilot gives up its ship.

Now that I think about it... I had never even noticed that before. I just like shooting stuff. :lol:

Yes it is actually really fun to demand a lone M5 to surrender and the little dickens actually comply vs being blasted to pieces, much more realistic. I actually make it a habit of hitting that surrender button as I start to engage reds. I’d rather have their cargo, credits, or ship all in one piece thank you very much. Maybe I am a pirate? I

Thanks for fixing ship bailing in 1.10 RC. After a few hours of combat, trying to make M4s and M3s to bail without success (both in the plot start and in the sandbox start), I was going to shelve the game. Making enemies bail (and ship boarding later in the game) is an essential part of my playing style. I use to self-impose the restriction of not buying any ship during the entire playthrough, thus completely relying on captured ships to build an army and supply my factories.
