X3FL 1.2 Public Beta

[Midnightknight]

For automated mining, ships need the Mining Command Software.
They should have always needed it, that wasn't changed in 1.2

Well it have been changed, not that mining software is required, but that some built in equipements are removed since 1.1 Now mining ships do not have the mining software anymore, like drones lost repair lasers.

[Wou]

Hell yeah

I wonder about the "Improved Station Manager" bit, does that include stocking up the goods in HQ for production purposes?

[Klord]

I can confirm the Repair Drones missing their Weapons.
Tried to send em to repair a captured Pirate M7 and they act like normal but no repair lasers are installed anymore.

Repair laser is available in Drone Extended (Boron Drone) in my game.

Hell yeah

I wonder about the "Improved Station Manager" bit, does that include stocking up the goods in HQ for production purposes?

Yes it is. Much better now. Also SM ships can be manually controlled even while under the SM command.

I use a Macana with its 4 original and 6 Boron Extended Drones.
None of em has their Lasers anymore in 1.2. Worked fine in 1.1

looks like the built in wares got messed up, some stuff got edited manually for AP which has messed up the file when we re exported it. Looking into a fix for it

Hell yeah

it includes a number of improvements.
It fixes an issue where it wasn't reading the needed HQ wares correctly
improved the use of production queues, including getting everything need for everything thats queue, and reserving those wares so they dont get sold later.
Better handling for tradeable (buy + sell), wares in docks, so they always buy at less than they will sell, so they will always make a profit.
Improved handling of the blacklist
Improved handling of supply stations, including able to keep them stocked up and producing as well
The manager now sets the emergency jump and attacked response settings on their ships so they can better escape from danger (including using the Turbo Booster)
Temporary blacklisting of sectors where their ships have previously been attacked.
Improved handling where you have some ships with and some without jump drives
The station manager will also use your own Satellite network to blacklist sectors that currently have detected enemies
Better fuelling logic.
If ships get stuck behind a blacklisted sector with not enough cargo space for energy to jump, they will dump some wares so they can refuel and jump home.
Better handling when ships get stuck in a blacklisted area with no where to go

And a few other fixes and improvements

That's awesome, thanks

Ok weird thing happened. I purposefully damaged my Maru to see whether the drones can repair. When the ships hull got damaged, the drones came out from the Guppy and they did not have repair lasers anymore. Looks like a bug.

Added System to reward Flagship Blueprint or equivalent Quantum Processors

Mini plots or regular missions like "retrieve ship"?

No, its part of the main plot where you get the ship. You will also get the blueprint at the same time.

however, those that have already done the plot will be given either the blueprint, or the Quantum Processors (if they already have the blueprint)

so anyone who reverse engineered the ship can rebuild it again

[UnknownObject]

Thanks for the much needed update!

or the Quantum Processors (if they already have the blueprint)

Still 0 of them in the HQ ware list. The HQ has already been moved.

I have a problem. The Space Suit doesn't have a SETA built-in anymore. I've noticed while trying to repair a bailed ship. Is it the same for anyone else?

I havent't checked in my current game (upgraded from v1.1 to 1.2 beta) but IME SETA repair isn't as efficient as it used to be in TC. It still takes less RL time than non-SETA repair, but not so much as to be useful for (eg) capships) IMO

The key metric is hull HP (not %age) repair/second for anyone caring to check this

[atroces]

Hmmm... My Station Manager will send a TS to a sector to mine, without first buying it any lasers, so it will just sit in the sector and command twitch.

Hey.
"Removed Nividium L Mine" ... sooo ... if i install that patch my mine will be gone and my complex isn't a complex anymore?

[bounty_hunter66]

Removed Nividium L Mine

But....why though?

[blazenclaw]

Pretty sure the issue in 1.1 was that the Nvidium L mine, when bought, instead installed an M mine. The M mine can probably still be upgraded to L / XL / XXL with upgrade kits, but I haven't tested this.

Yes this is the reason.

[bounty_hunter66]

Awesome! Thanks !

[GavGav91]

alright... its only removed from the shipyard but already placed mines will stay... right?

[Ketraar]

yes but they will be M version (that was the issue to begin with)

MFG
