I thought you cannot send ships in a modified game, but I was wrong

Post by W_Dragon »

this guy definitely modified his game in order to send this many ships to me

don't say its a bug, because he is the only one with that many ships...

There is or was a way to "hack" the system - some dude sent actual Xenon cap ships through. However it's not as simple as modifying your game in the regular modding sense.

Not modified, just vanilla exploits, I reported back to Ego some time ago, and that where fixed up to some leftovers.
PS. could you please scan the freighters, they where filled with hightech wares on launch.
The trick behind the exploit is that all ships are considered to be one ship.

From what I can tell this is totally normal. Practically everyone I see in my save has multiple ships scattered around. Either this is due to a bug (the system creates more than 1) or the ships are not being removed after some time correctly and so when the player resends another is created.

This old exploit got savegame persistent on sender side, it can't be produced any more, but I still have this old save where every venture sends a fleet.
