[MOD] [AP] LxXRM 3.1 - Lucike XRM Resurrection Modding Package [updated 06.10.2019]

[alphalvr]

Ok so my initial boarding attempt was with me flying a Dragon sentinel with 7 very noob marines on board and my target was a Pirate Osprey.

This seemed to work well as long as I stayed behind it (the main guns hurt)

I used the smart turret hotkey to set 'capture' for my turrets which automatically kept the Osprey's shield down.

I positioned myself to the side but just slightly ahead of the Osprey and used the 'board' hotkey. (I am using the spacewalk method, I am going to stick to that until I think boarding pods are required, probably on harder targets)

I tried this several times and my marines latched on to the hull roughly 7/10 times, the other times they died to the Osprey's turret. So I think the best targets will be ones with few turrets or blind spots in the coverage.

Unfortunately I failed to capture the ship but this was due to forgetting to pick up my trained marines and only using 7 noobs rather than 15.

I did get to deck 3 several times so my testing in my opinion was a success, I know for pretty certain I would have capped the Osprey if I had not forgot my team of 1-2 star fighting marines that I had collected from around the verse.

Anyway I am just loading the game back up and will report back when I get my 1st successful cap.

By the way to the guy that asked about the Travel Drive I have now realised that even the ships I am not piloting can use the Travel Drive. For this to work the ship needs the drive + energy cells and you must select 'Tool - Travel Drive' in the additional ship commands section. Once set up in this way your other ships can race across the system in no time, they just use it automatically. I really like this Travel Drive, I much prefer it to the Jump Drive and SETA. It is just a shame the other races cant use it which makes it feel one sided......but hey I guess I am not using Jump Drives which evens the field a tad.

You are right about the battles, many times I have just sat 20km from some EPIC Capital ship battles that are just happening on my way somewhere. I do not know how anyone can say the weapon effects are just meh! The effects I am seeing are truly awesome, probably some of the best space battles I have ever witnessed. Also I am only using this pack because it just happens to have everything I would have installed if I had modded my own game. I would suggest just install XRM + the mods you want yourself, you could create your own modded game in less time than trying to alter this one I think. Most of this stuff is on page 1 of the scripts and modding page.

I am going to make another install with just XRM to see what it is you are talking about, for science

Certainly, let me know what you think of the effects in XRM. Btw what is spacewalk method when boarding? i did exactly the same as you the other day I boarded a pirate osprey and it took me as 9 reloads of my save game haha.

Thanks for the update.
I wish you more luck and sucsess next time.
I have just trigger my joypad-button 10 minutes to repair a bailed Osprey.

SETA works while firing repair laser you know.

Anyone know why my travel drive wont turn on ? i have e cells and set the hotkey.

[Taylor2008]

SETA works while firing repair laser you know.

I was in my spacesuit , i try with seta,but did not work.
With Travel-Drive i can not help you ,i have no experience with that.

Impression after 7 InGame Days:

Setup: LxXRM with additional The Galactic News System (BBS 2.0) (V.105) , the new MBRR from TechSY730 , Pandora-Ejector , Universe Explorers v2.4.2 b5 , imroved Khaak tech hack and MK3-Kommandomenue.
Life i had to quiet , since it is absolut incompatible with Galatic News System and MBRR ; i wish someone could make it , so we could use only the sounds from the mod.

NPC Bailing : 5 % litttle ships , 4 % traders , 2 % big ships and 1% huge ships and 180 Minutes till self destruction.
MBRR : All activated , Xenon Military-Outpost as well . Satelites early warn System : i don`t use it . Yaki-Armada activ with ADS and 10 Motherships . Pirate Guild at strong with ADS . Brennans Tortuga activ.
Khaak , Revelation and Phanon not activ cause i want to play the plot missions first.

All of Lucikes scripts are in use and do as expected , besides Sateltes and Turret Service which I don`t understand to set up , even german is my native language.

So long i found 4 bailed M6 which , after repairing ,i sold and those finance my 5 Sector Traders. I am training them in Power of Circle , Queens Space , Tkr`s Deprivation and Empire`s Edge. The ones from Empire`s Edge level very fast ,
so i am lucky to have 2 UT.
One advanced Charokee with 10 Marines collect the little ones.

During the second Terran Mission i saw an epic battle in Asteroid Belt between Xenon and Terrans and a bailed TL Polacca.After 5 time new loading i managed to fly to the Polacca , survived and transfer a jumdrive and managed to jump out with
1 % hull. It takes 1,5 InGameDays and about 70 Millions Credits to repair with 5 fresh and cheap Marines. And now the Polacca fly without shields and weapons through the universe and collect bailed TS.

I have 1 MJ Shields Complexes which only needs energy , cause i produce the other resources by my self , in Argon Prime and Paranid Prime.
CLS , EST and CA are in use , I have Codea fighter pilots in training.

At two advanced Sat-Factorys i have Blastclaw Prototypes with order "Goods Transfer" from Salvaging Software , so i have allways enough Satelites.
The placing i do "by hand" with two Blastclaw Prototypes at 0,-20 / +20 , 0 .
Meanwhile I do Missons for all races , cause i am a trader and i want good realitions with everyone in view of the main Plot storys.

I really love how well all the elements play together.
The Xenon are a big pain in the border sectors , there are allways big race fleets in the universe which headed to those sectors , i see great battles ; it is like my own cinema, no FPS hits.
On the other hand , Argonen and Boronen fighting against Paraniden and Split and Pirates of course.
The Khaak with big Fleets and Motherships,
The Parandid once took Cloudbase SW from the Argonen and build their own Tradingstation , one Day later Argonen and Boronen take back the sector in a monumental battle.

Summarized a living Universum.

So , I will have a lot of fun the next months with X3AP and this great Mod combination.

In the end , here is my tastatur-mapping: ( s=shift)
s F1: S.E.W.S , s F2: OWP , s F3: STO , s F4: STO , F5: TraderOverview , s F5: Enzocyklopedie m F6: MK3 Menue , s F6: Impr. Lasertowers , F7: PAR Ships , s F7: PAR Jumpdrive , F8: Salvage Menue , s F8: Complex Calculator , F9: Military Comm ,

s A : Global Admin , s R : ADS Manager , s T : ADS attack my target , s R : Menue Rename Ship and s P : Pandorra Projector.

I hope you guys have just as myself so much fun ...

I am also having a ton of fun with this mod, the mods mostly the scripts luckiles are new to me so i am yet to venture into using CODEA and Economy mechanics yet but i will be looking into them. i have a similar setup like you i have a complex making me adv sats and some ST AND UT on the go. Although, i don't know how to get pilots to train to start using the economey mods yet...

One thing i am trying to do is figure out wich files contain the data for the weapons in game so i can change the rate of fire on some lasers, i want to make the rate a little bit faster for a better laser show (I know this may effect FPS but i dont mind).

I did find a TL Abandoned and i had to do 7 reloads of the game and every time my marines died even though the scan showed the ship had no defenses or marines onboard. I just opted to buy the system overide software upgrade and used this instead.
My goal ATM is to train all my 60 marines and get them onto my M6 Careberus and have this travel the universe with my Elephant TL going round and boarding M6 ships to sell, i also have a positive relations with all major races and tend to keep it this way at least until my empire is big enough to take them on.

I think this game has had a new leese of life with this modpack and it is perfect timing as sadly X4 foundations is not up to scratch yet and may be a few months before it will be. It was intresting to read how others are playing this game. There is alos a russian guy on YT who uploads daily lets plays of this mod not sure of his nbame but if you search on YT for x3 AP this mod will pop up on most recent. (That's what made me find this mod)

[Taylor2008]

Although, i don't know how to get pilots to train to start using the economey mods yet...

A very good guide for CLS : viewtopic.php?t=324136.

For CAG you need a ship with Trade Command Software 1+2 ,docked at your own Station , Homebase same Station; then the option will show up , under "Trade".
At the lower Levels tey can`t use jumpdrive and can only handle a few wares , but later they use it and can handle lots of wares.

The Economy and Supply Trader need also TradeCS 1+2 , but you can dock him on any station.
He is like CAG , but you can use sector typical wares.
At lower levels only few and no jumpdrive , later...

With modding i have no clue.
Thanks for the youtoube tips.Great videos from that guy.

Be sure that you use Software Signature Scramblers at ships with System Override Software.
You can buy these things also from the yakis.

[alphalvr]

Oh...... well damn I was getting annoyed by my system overide dissapearing due to ships scanning my tm's.

I will go and grab this now.

Spacewalking marines into osprey's and tenshi's is really easy, but centaurs are a different story, they mostly end up circling in space.

I just saw a yaki m6 i forget the name, began with 'a', just gotta have it, the massive fleet with him is scuppering my efforts.

I just started using a satelite deploying thing, now i just need some way of turning off the 'BUZZZZZZZZZ ...your satelite is destroyed' message cuz now I dont care and its spoiling the other sounds

[Taylor2008]

In my opinion the best way to place Adv. Sat is "by hand".
I had 3 Blastcrow? Prototype with max out cargo space , filled with Adv. Sat and ordered them manuel to 0,-20 or +20,0.
Yet i never lost a Sat.
I have done this 2 InGameDays , but now i have 98 % of Universum.
Don`t forget to blacklist sectors your ST / UT shouldn`t trade.
And when in sectors with Transorbital Gate , like Terran space and the lower right sight of Universum ( Tyr , Hercules and so on ) ,
to also deploy jump beacons.
Every time Sat layer will run out of Sats u deliever him fresh ones.

In my Game i just build an 2x XL energycomplex in a sector with 300% Sun and in another sector 10x Bliss Place L +10x Dreamfarm L.

[alphalvr]

Well my sat script has filled most sectors, but I will try your method as well.

I don't have any traders yet, I think I will set a few up now, then maybe buy my 1st station.......or perhaps I will actually start the campaign instead of getting sidetracked all the time.

What I really want is to find a Boron TL in Split space so I can board it, I really want a bigger Mini carrier than the TM.

Choices choices choices

You said you have not used the Travel Drive??? that is one of my fav features,(there is almost no need to use seta) mind you I have never tried the turbo booster and I rarely use Jumpdrives (not at all in my current game)

[Taylor2008]

I have seta for about 1,5h in this game.
There is so much to do in flight time , like orders for other ships.
That is the beauty of this game , you can play it at a lot of different ways.
I just like it , when my CLS2 Logistiker jump to me and fill up my e-cells,
so that i myself are ready to jumo to the action.
I´m in the goner plot.
Today i try to finish and get my Aaran.

To find speciific ships in Universe to board i will use viewtopic.php?f=94&t=242685.
DL-Link at last page.

[joelR]

Im not sure if its related to LXXRM or not but my argon shipyards dont have anything to sell? Anyone else encounter this?

This is after 4 fresh installs trying to troubleshoot it. The only thing I could find on google was something about OWP scripts possibly being a cause?

[Taylor2008]

That is strange.
Have you additional scripts or mods installed?

[joelR]

Well after further observation it appears they return to normal after a few minutes but will randomly revert back to no ships or stations to sell. Its a minor inconvience but odd.

My game is the basic full lxxrm install. Only thing additional mod wise is a cockpit mod and I turned the loose tships file from lxxrm and turned it into a cat/dat so it wkuld work. No additional scripts except universe explorers and the cheat package

[Taylor2008]

I guess this is the point for your problems.
Have you try to NOT pack the tships into a cat/dat , or to not install the cockpit mod ?

Others , include myself are not affected from those strange behavior.

[Private Hix]

This mod pack is absolutely amazing! Best experience so far I think.

However, one question. What does the mod "Nightmare of the machines" do?

[Taylor2008]

Xenon Mod.
Haven`t tested by myself, but Xenon will be VERY , VERY Strong.
If you try that , please report us!
