X3:R HQ and Complex

Post by rsphil »

Just got my HQ and just wondered - can you link it into a complex? And if so is it a good idea?

CAGs work fine, if you set them up right.

They seem to be doing something. Just buying more of the existing stock. Do they stop buying after a while or just fill it up forever? )

Yes. :P
CAG Readme wrote:Trading Stations and Equipment Docks: When the pilot works for a Trading Station or en Equipment Dock, he will buy and only buy goods, if the dock does not allow other races to trade with it. Agent will sell and only sell goods, if the dock lets other races to trade with it. This applies to player HQ too.

Headquarters: A pilot working for an HQ has as much storage space reserved at the HQ as his ship can possibly hold. This goes for every single ware. However, since version 3.2.01, the Ware Manager is able to skip this and allocate a separate storage area for every ware.
Thus, it depends on how many wares you add and whether you set limits, shall they stop after a while, or when full.

To make them sell, you set "Trade with other races" to 'Yes', but then they do not buy at all.

You better read this recent thread.

All too complicated for me :p

All I wanted them to do is get resources as needed but it looks really complex to do.

Perhaps DWM and a few CAGs would sort it out. What do you think?

DWM and CAG is fine. NPC production of some ship building material (Microchips?) might be bit low, but CAG should cover most needs.

But you did initially ask about joining HQ to a Complex. That I have done. A selfsufficient Complex that produces all ship building resources. And one CLS Mk1 Dolphin SF, which delivers all needed wares to the HQ. Needs DWM for proper limits though.

CLS Mk1 (aka Internal Commodity Logistics) is (ship) equivalent of a complex construction kit (but can span to other sectors).

That sounds cool. So you can have mines elsewhere linked into comlpexes etc?

Not linked. But the CLS1 handles the deliveries. The topic of that another thread.
