Terran Conflict: missions are disappeared

Post by Hsilgos »

Hi!
I'm playing steam, russian version of x3: Terran Conflict (Ver 3.2c).
I just completed few missions in OTAS and TerraCorp whan i received message that i have new mission in OTAS HQ. When i docked to OTAS and tried to find mission i failed to do that. I decided that i can live with this and started to play without missions in OTAS.
Yesterday i received mission from TerraCorp to escort some person to other station. I was docked with M3 and person told me that she wants to fly with TS. I docked to TerraCorp with TS, but person told that i should have life support system (But i had it!). Finally i cancelled this mission and continued to play. Today i received message that TerraCorp need my help and... history repeat itself. I docked to Terracorp HQ and no mission from TerraCorp is available.
I tried to check hash in steam, tried to download english version of 3x and load my save in english version, but nothing helped.
Please, help me, what should i do? I can attach my save right before i have message from TerraCorp about new mission.

Hello.

The mission asks for a TP (personnel transport or passenger liner) rather than a TS (freighter).

One possible issue is that one type of TP, the Boron Angel, did not come with a cargobay life support (CbLS) built in while all other types of TP did.

The other possible issue is that some station missions did not recognise the built-in CbLS as being present because that is shown only in Ship Info and not in the cargobay as freight.

However, I am fairly sure that both issues were fixed in patches/updates for X3TC. Therefore you may need to use the Steam verify gamefiles cache tool to check your installation of X3TC is good and fully updated.

The bad news is that if you fail or abort a Corporation passenger transport mission, it can break the mission sequence and the Corporation concerned may stop giving missions. (The same thing happens if the Corporation HQ is destroyed.)

Once your game is checked and repaired or updated, you will need to go back to a save from before each of the relevant Corporation missions became broken if you want to continue them for that Corporation.

Good luck with this problem.

Yes, sorry, passenger asked me for TP. I had "Express Advanced" with installed life support system, but passenger was telling me that i didn't have it.

I tried to check file's cash using steam client twice, nothing helped.

I have message that TerraCorp need my help. But when i arrive to station i can't find any mission from TerraCorp. The same about OTAS HQ. It looks like game's issue :(

You need to read this extract from the Corporations Guide in the Guides Thread in the X-Universe forum Sticky thread:

  • Breaking the Corporation Missions

    Mentioned in the Transportation mission section of Section II, it is possible to break the Corporation missions. By aborting/failing the mission the future representative will not be present at the station the next time the player receives a comm message from the given HQ for future work.

    This was originally mention by a player in an old thread who broke NMMC. I can confirm that breaking can happen because I managed to break five of the eight Corporations. So unless you have a save prior to the breaking of a given Corporation, you will be unable to continue and your quest for ranks and ships from that Corporation will be over permanently. There is a brand new script that will reset the Corporation to start over from the beginning, it can be found below Contract Termination.

    NEW INFORMATION

    Concerning the breaking of Corporation missions, it seems that if the Transportation mission is "TP required" and the mission is aborted then the Corporation mission line will break. It also does not matter what the destination station is, be it an HQ or any NPC station, the breaking will still happen. However there is the rare chance that an aborted/failed "TP required" Transportation mission will not break the mission line. Transport missions that have no ship requirement will not break a given Corporation if aborted/failed, but on the rare occassion the breaking can occur when the mission is aborted/failed.

    Information was gathered from lengthy testing by jimlpearce and Deadbeat_Spinn.
