Docking at split/paranid without killing pirates/xenon :)

[Mudkest]

Appearantly even if YOU don't have docking permission, your ships do(or at least your freighters working for you )

I was somewhat confused when my split ranking was split creature 0%, I could have sworn you started at enemy 99%, and then I noticed one of my freighters going for energy-cells to a powerplant in Family Whi

Annyone else noticed this?

I think my next factory will be a sun oil refinery in nid space and see if my shippies will go for ecells and stuff there

It' just you they don't want there

When I had ships for trading, I noticed the same thing.

[Inimbrium]

..but I like klling pirates!
...and destroying their bases.

[P88]

can you beam to ships using that teleport device while the ships are in motion? if so, tell your ship to doc at a paranid station, and as its lined up to enter the station, u beam to the ship

i aint played in 'years' so im probably wrong

I thought they'd fixed that bug in X-Tension 2.0--certainly they did for the Xenon (prior to that version it was possible for a ship you controlled to get permission to land at a Xenon station!).

What more reason do you need then?

a bug you say? I mean, why would theye want to keep teladi vultures out?

[Mercenary]

Did that mean that once upon a time you could trade with the Xenon shipyard using a remotely managed ship

Like a TL for getting a Xenon factory?

Never tried having ships dock with Xenon stations before v2.0, but you certainly WOULDN'T have been able to get a Xenon TL (or any other TL!). I don't think Xenon stations buy or sell any items, nor their shipyards.

[Mercenary]

The only reason for mentioning the shipyard is I seem to remember it having prices on ships, which always seemed odd...

So it's a moment of idle speculation that if I reloaded the original and got myself a couple of pegasus if I could be the proud owner of a few otherwise unseen Xenon ships...

That's a pity. I wish there were a nice XTL to buy *sigh*

Not so. Try targeting the Xenon shipyard and getting info on it--you'll see it stocks various ships and stations, the same as any other shipyard. Thus, it WAS possible to purchase Xenon ships by getting a remote ship to dock at the shipyard and remote trading with it; however, the only way in which you could buy a TL (because this option wasn't added until 2.0) would be to dock a ship at the Xenon shipyard in, say, 1.4, then load that saved game into X-T 2.0 and remotely purchase the TL.

This works????

<dashes off to try>

That snippet of info is worth a reload of the game and a quick start from scratch...

If you try this might be worth having some defense forces available as it could get attacked as its trying to leave the sector...... mind you that would be fun to watch!

Hmm... with enough cash, a Disco stocked with ECs, a jumpdrive and docking system, and a Pegasus, it could be done. Get the Peggy inside, buy the TL, dock in it in the disco, transfer the J-drive and ECs and run for it!

[~Lonowski~]

so did anyone try this yet? i think i will when i get home tonight.......

[Snokid]

me want try to... too much work tough...

[Rogue]

BUMP!

Gotta know......

[~Lonowski~]

I did it!!!!!!!!! you can buy a xenon TL!!!!!!!

(its a large version of the pirate freighter one can buy from the teladi)

ive got screenies at home and will upload after work tonight.

tonight im going to try to get a xenon solar power plant.........


i bought a few xenon L's and had them try to protect my TL on the way out of the sector, but the xenon M2 ran into my ship (which only had 1 125 mw shield) and blew it up check back in @ 4 hrs for screenies, i'll make a new thread!!!!!!!!!
