Repairs,Bugs,Food Rations,etc. 3.10?

[rolltidemustang]

I am new to this so bare with me please. I am not using no mods. I have the latest update 3.10. Also the Teladi outpost. I am reading the forums & not sure what is true or false. What is for sure is when I capture a Warden Ship turns into a Taranis which is damaged. I want to know what I can do & what will not do. Can the ship be repaired or not? Can the ships be upgraded? What seems to me is the game still have issues & this is the last final update? I think players will be mad you do not get a finished product. Anyway's. This entire game is a MIND MELTING everything changes I can not keep up. You can do this but can not do it now because the patch did this and removed that & so on. Wow! Talk about stress! I can not even get the Hologram up which is to your right in your cockpit or am I pressing the wrong buttons? Did it change? Suppose to be in 3.0 but now it's not in 3.10? What? That makes no sense at all. I can not even get an answer kinda sad. It's sad you gotta edit your saved file to complete a mission is what I read such as Food Rations. EDIT SAVE FILE add 300 because a bug or whatever! You should not need to do that period. I am sure players get tired of hearing that about the Food Rations. I got to that point but it seems it's a HEADACHE so (I YET TO EVEN try that part of FOOD RATIONS) & it seems I will not be able to complete the Campaign due to bugs! I can not even repair a ship. I read silly things on the forum such as oh, maybe you need resources? What resources? Really? Another silly thing I read is that who ever build the ship can only repair it? What? Man that's just stupid. Wow! Complex game. Now if it's not build here we do not fix it. Wow! I done everything possible such as add ship to my squad took it to Hot Air & yes, have every people required on the ship & nothing. I guess I am doing something wrong or it's a bug. I am thinking what is the sense trying to capture a ship if you can not repair it. I am sorry that is just dumb makes no sense at all. I know you can sell it but you got players who wants to repair & have a war ship. I am not trying to be a jerk just saying how I feel about it. I am sure I am not the only one who get's frustrated when you can not repair your ship or get the 300 Food Rations Delivered due to a bug. Now am I right or wrong here? Anyway's if anybody has input please so give advice. Thanks!

I've completed the campaign four or five times without savegame editing, the first time was about a year ago.

Are you able to repair your captured ships?

[Santi]

Put an engineer on it, with 5 stars it will fix most of the ship.

[Carl Sumner]

A Terranis should be able to be repaired by a shipyard dock of type Extra Large. The Terranis is big, it won't fit in smaller shipyard docks. Check the parts of the shipyard in the local map, by clicking on the shipyard line in the list.

The shipyard dock must also be free to take the ship, if it is otherwise occupied you will have to wait or go somewhere else. Check the list of available ships from the ship vendor and see if any show working with a percentage completed.

The comment about the engineer on board will also work, add a few Construction drones to the ship to make it repair faster.

Remember that after the start, no two games are the same, so mine is different from yours. And bad stuff from old versions can be in old savegames, that would not be in a new start. Good luck.

The problem with the 300 foodrations is that it is supposed to be purchased in Albion and delivered in DeVries to help their people. But you will only find foodrations in a station on Devries itself!!???

This is not just a bug but a real nonsense and probably the most easy thing to fix ( it just a matter to add foodrations to one or more stations on Albion and it´s fixed)

[rolltidemustang]

Thanks for the advice Carl. I started mine with Version 3.10 most of the stuff that say works such Hologram in 3.0 seem not to work in 3.10
I am learning allot from here on forum & steam community lots of guides to read. This really help me allot http://www.xrdb.net/

[rolltidemustang]

I totally agree that made no sense when they did that. I have not doen that part yet. I am just trying to get my worker skills up by getting Red Water, Haze & Jews. This is also crafting to do as I been told.

And talking about animations:
I saw an old XR video (I guess that was version 1.xx) where it shows the hands of Ren Otani on the Skunk flight controllers and with animation. It´s no more.

[rolltidemustang]

Ahhhhhhhh..That I did not see...Well I just bought this game about a week ago. The Hologram suppose to work in your cockpit but I dunno in 3.10 I can not seem to get it work or am pressing the wrong button? No answer so far.

I would get a 5 star Eng the issue is show me skills please sure ?????????
shows only after you hire them. I know I know the trick is find all the Eng hire them all of what you can fit on your ship then turn around reload game go find the Eng with the 5 star.

Put an engineer on it, with 5 stars it will fix most of the ship.

The hologram is the 3d zone map, you can manipulate it if you use keyboard and mouse, but controller as in a x-box controller is not supported yet. Hopefully will be in the future.

Food rations are available in all systems, Albion, Devries, Omicron Lyrae, you just need to find the station that produces them.

If you play the smalltalk minigame you can get a recommended crew member of your choice, as a reward, if you give them a gift, you can play the minigame further and get a top notch crew member of your choice, normally wit 4 to 5 stars in their skills.

[Rubini]

@santi: exactly foodrations, at least at that point on the campaign, can only be found on Devries. Just take a look on dozens of posts on these forums.

[Rubini]

@mustang: the interactive holomap is the one that vou get when select the map on the main menu, not the small one in the ship pannel.

[Santi]

Food rations are available in Albion and Devries, and Omicron I think they use bofu instead. Be aware that if you do not refresh your trade updates from stations, then only the latest updates will show in your menu, probably why you do not have any food rations available from Albion, that is why it is recommended to have Trade Agents on all stations.

it should be noted with these that it really is not producing food rations there.

they take in water, food rations, and energy to produce a small amount of food rations that is less than what they use in the first place.

Again: at that point on the campaign, at least on unmoded 3.10, we cant find "foodrations" on Albion. What we get on the above Albion places are others food goddies/wares but not specifically "FoodRations" what is needed to complete the mission. It´s a dumb bug that must be fixed and is just easy to fix. Until now the new players will be lost at that point and it´s a nonsence to help DeVries people with wares found at Devries! Please devs, take a look at this and fix it.

[Santi]

Again, food rations are available in Albion at that point on the campaign and at any time, it is one of the wares that is most common in the game, you may not have found them, but that is an issue on your part not the game.

@SANTI: i downloaded an old save of my campaign at that point and tryed again to find foodrations on Albion including the above places and i found only others food goddies but not foodration. So, even if it is there it´s enough hind for the player or at least very very difficult to find. So, needs fix.

Also if you google this issue you will see that all guides on the net direct the player to a Devries sector to buy foodrations at that point just because nobody found it in another place.

Anyway I always can be wrong...

[Santi]

Campaign game just before that point, this is how many food rations are available for sale from those stations.
