So... what's going on with my game ?.
I don't see any Xenon anywhere, no pirate-attacks and all my sectors seems to be different from sectors
i've seen on screenshots by other players. I tried looking for the derelict ship in Black Hole sun IV, but the placement
of the stations were completely different from the screenshot posted for the quide to the ship, and despite spending aprox 30 min
scanning for the derelic according to the location on the screenshot, it simply wasn't there.
Paranid isn't attacking Argon, boring peace everywhere.
I also reached a -20 rep with HAT by accident and i have been trying to find ways to improve it because everytime i use
the highway through Haticvah's Faith, i get combatmusic... which is annoying.
Note: I haven't restarted my game since it was first installed, which was on Sunday after release, probably after first update.
I also can't build my station as i want. I picked my plot at max size for more room to build, but i can only apply certain modules
in a certain way, and i'm apparently prohibited from building the station the way i want it.. which is symetrical.
I find the station-building utterly counterintuitive compared to X3.

Of all the things i've lost, i miss my mind the most.

Re: So... what's going on with my game ?.
Pretty sure derelict ships are dropped randomly. There may eventually be a derelict ship dropped in the indicated area, but it won’t always be there. The AI is also supposed to build stations according to demand from the economy, so different games will look different.
I was able to improve my rep with the HAT by hanging around their stations and blowing up those little civilian criminal ships that show up once in a while. I was only -14 though, so the station didn’t fire at me, not sure how it will work for you.
Lots of people are reporting a stagnant, non-warring universe, so I can’t help you there, and as for station building, well, it is what it is.

We have a further fix for the "quiet universe" issue in the pipeline.

That has precisely nothing to do with what we've fixed.

If Derelict ships are dropped randomly, doens't that mean that ANY guide to finding them, is utterly pointless, thus making the "hunt" for these shipsSixxshooter wrote: ↑Mon, 10.

a waste of time, because the time spent chasing them is better invested in making money to buy them.. so sad.

Will this fix also apply to savegames that were started on v1.0?

Sweet! This is the only thing that's really preventing a lot of us from sinking our teeth into the game. Sure, there are other thing posted around that are important too, but this stagnation is a real killer.
Been playing around a lot in the game, just piddling around until this fix gets fixed. I know it's a constant whine fest everywhere, but I've seen enough to know this game is going to be freaking amazing. You guys nailed the "foundation" of a new X universe for sure.

The fix will affect all savegames. It's going to be interesting to see how the economy reacts, however, in games that have been quiet for a long time. There could be some serious shortages for a while.

Great I am happy to report. My save has some ~50ish hours and I hope I do see some war.
BTW: Is it intended that Build storage is indestructible? In my game there are like 21 HOP Destroyers with wings trying to destroy a build storage that apparently cannot be destroyed.

Will it be shared what exactly the fix was in the patch notes? I'm curious as to what the cause of the quiet universe is, particularly the lack of activity with the Xenon.

Re: So... what's going on with my game ?.
I abused the cheat mod quite a bit to see if I could trigger ship building with no luck. I don't think it was based on lack of resources, my *guess* is the AI is just flat refusing to issue build ship orders.

I wonder if we go to the other extreme now and see a universe on fire with Xenon and Pirates everywhere.

Re: So... what's going on with my game ?.
That`s partly my fear, but I guess they`ll try to avoid that. However with some games i`ve seen Devs go from one extreme to the other...
And then it`ll be MY turn to whine bitterly.

1. Please do more on NPC civilian/uniform variety, and bio customisations, Devs.
2. Stations need sirens/warnings when enemy is close in numbers or Station in danger of destruction (in Sandbox).
Yes, for immersion. Thankyou ahead of time. (Edit: This is actually happening!!!)

"Whaaaa the game's too peaceful my stations can't make money need MOAR WAR!"
A patch later:
"Whaaaa there's too much war, I can't make money cause all trade ships blow up!"
We gamers are a sad bunch.
