Fist of Egosoft - Keep up the good work! Really enjoying x4 so far!
I am now about 50h into the game start that was on the top of the list, the tutorial based one i guess
.I have a quick question seeing as i could not find any other topics about it.
This is first and foremost a question about the mechanics about Missions, specifically once where you are to claim a plot and build a station.
Are you really supposed to "keep" the station after it finished and you got the mission reward?
I believe back with X3 the AI took over after a station was built, right? Not here it seems, is this a bug?
Also worth noting I also realized that when i claimed the plot - i put it inside the area on the map the mission told me it was supposed to be.
Given it was a sphere area i assumed where exactly didn't matter.
However obviously i wanted to minimize cost and tried to put it a bit in the corner where the plot was cheaper. That did not work for the mission.
So a plot that was supposed to be 2x3x4 became 2x5x10 in order to trigger the mission as i had to further expand closer to where the Exclamation point actually was. In fact i had to literally have the plot cover the Exclamation point / Center of the sphere.
If you would be so kind, how big is the area supposed to be?
