My Bugged Save Game Of 105 Hours For the Devs.

[malkuth1974]

Love this game. I have a 105 hour save game I'm giving to you guys in hopes you can figure out what the issue is with AI building Ships. The File contains my whole save file, including autosaves etc...
Anyway the game is dead. Nobody is building ships. I suspect what ever code you have that decided when Factions should start building ships is broken. Because I have Full Ship Yards, Full Warfts (materials) and yet they don't Rebuild fleets.
The Kha'ak and the pirates which I understand from other post on this forum do not follow the same rules as other factions and are spawned in? If this is the case it can't be the economy because I don't have Kha'ak or pirates either!

This problem is being reported all over the forums of steam, reddit etc. Most people complain its a war problem.. I don't think it is.. You can't fight a war if you don't have ships right?

Oh and this save game is from day 1. Version 1.0. Been playing it for this whole week.

I did not have a lack of war in this game.. As you can see the AI Xenon have been wiped out. The HOP and Argons have fought many times. I watched it all (other than then XENON). When I discovered the XENON they were already dead. But yet they don't seem to rebuild. I have Satellites covering so many stations that I have free view of almost the entire universe from the comfort of my Ship. Its pretty obvious that the AI is not replacing ships!

I have never had a Crash so this game is not currupted! I don't use mods ever.. Or any cheats.. Its a pretty modest save file, I only have 19 ships no Stations! I have not done the Player HQ mission yet.. This is just a game running off the economy. Also hopefully you can also see that my pilots.. Some of them are 60+ hours into being pilots are not gaining Stars fast enough!! Miner # 1 is my very first M class ship.. He still sucks.. LOL. Anyway this is the file. I hope it helps you figure out whats wrong. Good luck.

Oh and PS Most of the game is just me leaving it running while I sleep or go to work. So yeah I don't have all that time to play.. so yeah.

This is my most updated save as of tonight. Again only 19 ships 100 + hours into this game. I now have whats left of the Xenon Mapped out.. I have 1 sat now at one of their warfs.. Nothing is happening with them.. They are not getting spawn camped by the other factions. Only things in their space is my scouts and whats left of the Xenon.. Not much.

It seems HOP is the most active right now they have all gates camped with defense fleets. The argon seem a little Blah.. They are not protecting HOP gate at all.. Same with the Paranid vs HOP gate.. Nothing.

I mean I can still make money, the economy is limping along. But 19 ships is about all I can push out right now and not completely kill the economy.

Mine too! I restart at 1.3 release and now only 10+ hours. Everything is just like what you've said.
HOP with large fleets camping next to the stargate to the Antigone.
Argon's fleet is just running around in Argon Prime, mostly around the Shipyard.
The argon shipyard storage is nearly reach its max because nothing is built .

They've got so many battleships but they refuse to attack each other.

Maybe they are tired of war and dying for the sake of entertaining you ?

Maybe now the x universe wants peace, and the AIs have evolved and taken over and now EGOSOFT can no longer fix it !

we can't really progress in the game any more without combat though. If the AI doesn't make ships the only resource sinks in the game are food and medical supplies. This means no money for the player to make ships with because we can't sell ship parts to the NPC factions.

ya I gets pretty slow. You can make money but it’s a slow trickle and I think it’s only on the resources that do get vanished like food etc.

But ship building for AI is not working correctly. Check out the save Zenon gone. Go to all shipyards full supplies. Warfs the same.

Like said HOP has some good defense fleets, but I’m sure the AI is programmed to reserve such and such amount of ships for defense only.

Like anyone else would. I suspect this problem has been around from day 1. When 1.3 hit, what the devs did was allowed the AI to leech more from its defense fleets, and send them out as attack. That’s why 1.3 took off again for all of us. Once those fleets were gone, we’re back to this.
