[X3AP Bonus Plugin] Hephaistos Corp. - Station building service

[Sovereign01]

Hi,

I noted previous members have posted similar issues of station builds freezing. I am experiencing the same issue. I tried placing a Terran MRE complex in Saturn 2 but the station never arrives.

When I hit the Hephaistos hotkey I get the following message:

"The 1. station transporter is just on its way to the building place."

The station never arrives. How can I cancel the order? Thank you for any advice and support.

Something similar seems to be happening to me as well.

It's down to the funky nature of most Terran sectors, if they don't contain an actual jumpgate (as opposed to TOA) or jump beacon it jams. I don't know if there's an actual fix, all you can do is reload and place the complex the old-fashioned way.

Trying to build Crystal Complexes in Aldrin but the TL ordered through Hephaistos Corp. Station building service is taking way too long to get there nor can I find or see it crossing Aldrin 2 in X3AP. I am not talking about X3TC!

Sounds like more hassle than the games building function itself, and that is terrible egosoft

I've received a lot of positive feedback about this script telling me that it helps with building large amounts of stations quite a lot. If you have a particular problem with this script, especially those listed in the opening post, I suggest trying out the development version linked in the opening post. This version has received more bug fixes and some additional features, and is generally more stable. Unfortunately, the way we managed the bonus package in the past was far from ideal, so these fixes never made it into the BP version.

Hi Sorry for the late message. Can you use this plugin to complete build station missions? I just tried it and it didn't work when station was dropped on navigation beacon. i.e it needs a hired TL or your Own TL to complete them correct?

No, it won't work with station building missions. See the additional information section for reference.

Additional information -- Barred from the order are stations that can't be connected with each other (Equipment Docks, Trading stations, Headquartes), stations that can not be bought by the player and Mines. It's only possible to have one order at once. First after getting the information message that the ordered stations were built, a new order can be made. Also note that the station building service will not work with Station building missions.

Thank you sir. Have a great day. Guess its time to save up for the Build ship . As i find those missions are easy to gain rep. Nevertheless this script its very useful in Yaki/Pirate space next to PBG/IBL forges.

Hi there,

Is there a way to tell if this script has stopped working? I ordered 72 stations to Savage Spur. It's done some of them, and then not the rest (it's been some time....). If I press F12 (the Hephaistos key I set) I get a message saying "the 11. station transporter is just on its way to the building place"

Is it just taking its time or is something wrong? Thank you.

Quick update. I've let SETA going for five RL hours and it's the same. I guess it broken

The BP version is unfortunately not that robust against ship destruction. There's no real fix for this, I'm afraid. You could use the unsigned version, instead.

[thundyuk2]

Ah do you think that the ship was blown up then?

I managed to reset it using the instructions here.

Lost a few hundred million credits but it's fine.

Just thought I'd post the way I worked around it in case anyone else has this issue.

I'll install the unsigned one too, thanks.

[X2-Illuminatus]

Yes, either the ship was destroyed or it was placed in the wrong sector from where it cannot escape.

I wonder why this script only got signed for AP but not for Terran Conflict ;(
