Also is there a way to blacklist Xenon sectors because after about 10hours game time they have completely destroyed the xenon shipyards.

What I'll probably do is change the conditions for attacks. Races will only be able to respond to either owned space or unknown space. This should prevent the scenarios you are mentioning.

I am still working out that mission bug, and once I get it sorted, I'll release 4.0.4 with these fixes. I have to go out of town tomorrow, so I can't give an ETA right now.

Okay will do. Is this for the mission bug or for the A.I. staying in their zones?

Also if its possible to add another line to ships that says who owns it with the station because currently since some pirates utilize the A.I. Ships its hard to tell unless you switch to pirates being foe which then prevents you from docking at pirate stations and if you fly towards one those laser towers don't screw around. Lol

This is for the AI staying in their zones.

For the Pirates, you can easily identify them by their letter in the serial number of the ship in the map view:

I = Pirates
D = Dantai
Y = Yaki

Okay sweet ^^. They seem to not be destroying zones. I will be going to the pirate sections and checking once i finish the brennan triumph because that is usually when it occurs.

One Annoying thing is that when you unequip the shields you can't sell them or reequip them

You can only equip/re-equip shields and guns only while docked now.

You can only sell equipment to a dock that sells it. So if you have Teladi shields, you need to go to a Teladi dock to sell them.

So while playing the game I realized that each race has their own "unique" weapons and ships that cannot be bought or sold from just anywhere.

So my question is... who buys xenon weapons & ships? I.E. Alpha missles...? The pirates?

There is a Xenon faction you can befriend. Details are in the spoiler tags in case there are folks who want to find out how on their own.
Spoiler
Show
Spawned randomly in a Xenon sector is a derelict Xenon A with a Solaria Network Interface onboard. When you obtain that device, the ETA/ALPHA become neutral towards you.

Additionally, there is a Khaak faction called the Crimson Hives you can become friends with to trade Khaak equipment. You become friends with them in a similar way. A derelict red Khaak Carrier is in a random Xenon sector with a Khaak Device onboard. When you obtain it, the Crimson Hives become neutral. Once you've destroyed enough purple Khaak, they will let you jump to their Homeworld sector.

I don't think the script is working right because the Xenon Sector I went to is gone. I will be visiting them all and then I will post here which sectors have stuff and which done.

**Edit*

So ya the NPC still goes about killing the XENON most of the yaki sections have nothing in them. They are staying outta the unknown better because the ETA\Alpha sent about 6-10 M1,M2,M6 ships plus a few 100 ships and start attacking random sections which lag bombed the game.

Are you sure they still kill them, or were they already killed by the old response conditions?

Positive. I restarted my game so that nothing over lapped.

And in the top right Xenon Sectors i watched them swarm and lag out. It was the military classification ships.

You need to set the compatibility settings in 7/Vista:

Windows Vista and 7 Compatibility

X2 should have the following compatibility options set:

Compatibility mode:
Windows XP (Service Pack 2)

Priviledge Level:
Administrator

This will prevent crashing and other odd bugs.

4.0.4 has been released. The fixes are as follows:

- Races will only send fleets to either owned space, or Unknown space.
- BBS Assassination missions fixed.

Unfortunately, the fixes involved in this will render previous savegames incompatible. If you are invested in a game, stick with 4.0.3 for now. I wanted to avoid this, but certain bugs cannot be fixed otherwise.

Can someone confirm these bugs to be fixed?

Based on feedback, a 4.0.5 is being planned. When finished, here are the planned major changes:

- Static respawn of stations removed.
- New stations will be created as there is excessive demand.
- NPC stations stuck with a ton of product will have the ability to "go out of business" and be shut down.

In this way, the X economy will adapt to changing markets, rather than be permanently broken.
