[MOD] Guilds - BETA v0.41 - 2024/04/02

[Cycrow]

The kha'ak invasions are primarily going to be similar to the current Xenon ones, where ships will jump into other sectors and start to attack. They also will have some additional sectors of their own.
They likely wont take over sectors, as that could interfere with Xenon Wars

Sounds good. It suits the lore for Kha'ak to not be taking over sectors. More fitting for them to destroy and leave nothing in their wake like a plague of locusts than to take and occupy territory.

Will the Kha'ak invasions require the completion of a plot like with Xenon Wars? Personally I'd prefer if the universe was on fire right from day dot, but I imagine the majority of the playerbase would disagree with that.

Only the Xenon Wars is connected to the plot, the kha'ak ones will start straight away once they have been added. However, like the original Xenon Invasions, they will scale to your ranks

When I scan an asteroid, it yields Metal Alloys instead of ore. I thought I have to process ore in a plant to make alloys?

Discovery rewards do not provide ore any more, instead, you are offered metal alloys. Alternately the headquarters uses ore rather than metal alloys.

For some reason, it takes a surprisingly long time to travel south through the (Farnham's Legend alpha, Elena's Fortune alpha) gate.

[lLongshanks]

Some more problems.
I just made a new complex 6x advanced satellites and its only listed resource is E cells and Nividium.
Also just purchased the enhanced docking computer. I set docking to a station in another sector as the ship went through the gate It said docking successful but crashed the game. I loaded a previous save and it happened again. I reloaded again and manually flew through the gate and it worked as it should.

When I transfer Pandora Tunings to a ship that already has some in its infantry, then the transferred Pandora Tunings are lost.

[lLongshanks]

I have spent ages checking missions in various sectors and still not found any that give an agents as part of the reward.

The game is also running very sluggish.

I found plenty either. Passenger transport with a TP, or station defence, teladi and split space. It seems the same as the base game. Maybe assassination as well, but I have not improved my combat skills yet.

If you have found some that means there is something wrong with my game. I try a new game see if that helps.

Do you have your HQ and less than 5 agents available ?

[lLongshanks]

Do you have your HQ and less than 5 agents available ?

No, I don't have HQ yet still working on boron rep to start it and I have no agents and never had any.
I have found lots of taxi missions but none have had an agent as a reward.

I have just wiped all mods and reinstalled the game as I am having lots of problems. Lets hope things work now.

[Cycrow]

You won't get agents until you have the HQ

[NeonNito]

Hello! Testing out the mod using cheat packages, i am really enjoying the new ships and their designs, the corps having their own variation and design laungae is a really cool idea!

I just have a few questions in regards to future plans, Having played alot of LU, i noticed some ships dont have engine trails, im guessing alot of stuff is just place holder as the mod is still in beta?
Also, would you ever implement an equipment similar to LUs Docking Transporter extension, allowing fighters to teleport into carriers? (Unless that's already in FL, lol)
And lastly, do you plan on adding more ships? Such as ones from LU, Caddius Ship Pack, etc?

Thanks again, and i look forward to playing!

[Cycrow]

FL does already have teleporting to carriers when under carrier command software.

However Guilds adds the docking extension which uses the Docking computer to dock ships automatically to stations and carrier.

Weapons and ships from XRM will be added in the next version.
Along with some additional Terran Weapons.

I haven't yet decided what to do about engine trails yet, so this may change in the future

There shows my ignorance lol, thanks for clarifying

Sweet! Thats exciting!

Gotcha, if i may ask, why? is it a performance thing? or a cost/effort ratio? not worth the effort.

Also, did you make the new ships? Such as the peace keeper, etc? they look really good.

[lLongshanks]

You won't get agents until you have the HQ

Thanks Im working towards getting the HQ anyway.

Problems I am still having.

Complex resource is always ECs and Nividium regardless of what it really needs.
I can't remove stations from the complex I had to shoot it.
Station builder is trying to use refineries instead of asteroids.

My game is running quite sluggish and i noticed
large groups of big ships all trying to dock at military outposts for ECs.

Also is the a way to add my own default naming to the auto naming command?

Only mods I have is npc bailing and marine repair. I know its not your problem but using the marine repair on another ship creates slaves on my ship.

[Sorkvild]

This looks absolutely stunning when it comes to scope of new additions and playstyle enchancements.

I also have a few questions.

Will future updates to this add-on require restarting the game?
As for the new ships, are they in line with the spirit of the X3 lore?
In the case of migration and invasion of Xenons and Khaak, as well as AI rivals, will it be possible to disable it through plugin control?

Questions about starting new game
Do the TC, AP and Classic starting profiles also include finding the HQ from FL? If I start the game on the Classic profile, will I have access to TC and AP storylines?

[Cycrow]

The first few updates will require a restart. Once the bulk of the content is in, then future updates should be save game compatible.

The current new ships are all from my old XSP files, and will also include the ships from FLXRM.

Most of the features in the game will be configurable, Xenon Wars is connected to the plot so doesn't start until after the plot is complete, but will have numerous options including to enable/disable it.

The TC/Classic starts will have the TC hub/hq plot, so you use those plots to gain access to the HQ (the HQ is the FL one)
the AP starts requires doing the AP HQ plot.

The sandbox and guild starts will have a findable HQ like in FL

Is there any time frame for when the next update is coming?

[Cycrow]

No time frame yet, depends how much free time i have. But probably either this weekend or next

[Blackmail01]

I have issues with docking extention software installed on enhanced mako. When i command ship to dock at any station out of current sector, the ship is docked right after flying the gate/using jumpdrive and the interface is gone. The only thing i can do at that point is press Shift+Q, which returns me to the main menu without confirmation.
