No war ?

Post by neyz »

Hello all,

i'm on 2.5 beta 2 (started save with 2.5 beta 1)

I'm about 50 hours in my save and there are no wars between factions. I noticed at first i would get some "war updates" in the message log about station building but i haven''t seen anything for a while.

Xenons are making small incursions in holy light and in the north in hatikvah's but nothing more than some M, P and the very very occasional K.
Nothing going on between ARGONS / HOP / PAR their fleets seem to wander next to the Xenon gates

I'm at 24 and 22 reputation with Argons and Teladi, i started the war missions with the Argon faction representative but they seem quite useless and not making any kind of plot or going forward.

What am i supposed to do in order to get some more action / impact on the universe apart going deep in Xenon space ? Am i supposed to just attack a faction to make it red and start from there ? Not sure my "allies"' will follow me in that endeavor..

thanks !

When the game world first starts their is massive war, however after a few hours the empires run out of steam and can't rebuild their ships fast enough to make any headway. At this point the empires will try to build factories to supply their shipyard/wharf. The xenon use simple resources so they will keep attacking and will overrun both company regard and Ianamus zura without player intervention. In order to get the empires fighting again, you need to either keep their shipyards/wharfs supplied or build your own shipyard/wharf so they can buy ships from you.
In order to progress a faction in its war effort, you have to flip sectors to their control. If you destroy all the HOP defense platforms in true sight after the ANT have built their own, the system will flip to ANT control and they will then start to attack holy vision and build defense platforms in there as well. Eventually you can turn all of HOP space over to the PAR or ANT, or you can help the HOP conquer the majority of the map. Be sure you want a faction dead before you do it though, Once their shipyard/wharf is gone, they wont rebuild them and will be effectively dead.
Their is a third option, you could conquer the galaxy yourself, every faction can be exterminated completely except for the Khaak.

Thank you guys for the suggestions, I will try to stay vanilla for now.

I will check their shipyards but i find the idea of being an arms dealer quite interesting too..... does location matter or can i make a shipyard at PHQ and sell to the entire galaxy ?

thanks !

2.20 - 2.50 beta
~~200 hours
Same for me, all war mission are for defence (never have any think else), race have stop to build ship and npc don't look like using npc équipement dock.
I doing war mission and get the steam success but is going no where .

I conquer the faulty logic 1 sector for the HOP hate destroy every xenon station but it's do nothing, hop juste send someshipto the south, and and xenon build again two station (HOP one remains intact) sector automatiquely return to xenon (why) and HOP juste pulling back for no stratégic raison.

And the station destruction probleme and it's make closely war impossible to do, and since war are the primary economic outlet (and only whith drug) the asphyxiate all the economie.
Make the game boring.

Yeah, agree with that.
I spent my time building stations and shipyards.
Teladis build defense platforms inside Xenon sectors, Argon defends well against them as well as HOP. So no Xenon invasions, after 160 hours of game.
I hope for some improvments, because i don't want to restart a new game.
