Trade satellite

[Palladin888]

I'd like to see the introduction of trade satellites like in X3TC/AP.

TAF mod on workshop handles this already. Comm an npc ask for trade offer updates pay the money and done. Would be nice to remote all of these from anywhere but you still run into the problem of discovering the zones and stations.

Yes the npc can comm you from anywhere in the x-world....... And you have to make house calls. This is just a sad day as a ship pilots.

TAF! doesn't solve the issue of not being able to see what is going on in a sector - such as enemy ship presence, etc., even when you have assets in the sector that should be able to see them.

I think the current map fog system needs to be tweaked.

Provided you have the reputation you can see everything that goes on in that zone with those who own the stations or if you built one yourself. Reputation lets you see anything and everything. TAF updates your trade window for your personal use. Rep lets you see everything they own as you're allied if it's discovered already like ships and stations.

I'd love some tweaks to everything though and the sat idea always seemed more logical to me than the whole npc/smalltalk update route they went. Rep also gates what you can see unless you hack.

I've been looking for a MOD called TAF. I've not been able to fine where to download it from.

The problem is you can't see enemy presence - if there's a Xenon K or I terrorizing a sector, for example, I would like to jump to the NPC's defense. But at the moment there's simply no way for me to keep an eye on enemy presence like I could in X3.

There may also be players who don't wish to befriend all the NPC factions, but want to keep an eye on general fleet movements or trade activities all the same. They likewise can't do that.

Some sort of X3-styled "spy satellite" would be nice indeed.

Trade/Communication satellite would be better ... Mining, Ship Repair ... no need to be in zone.

That's odd as they show up in the zone list for me friend or foe.

The Xenon I ship can't change sectors or zones from what I've seen for some reason. I'll take over another one with this 2.2 update and try again perhaps.
