[6.10 MTS Beta/6.0 HF3] War mission station construction impossible - Plot size setting error explained.

[Panos]

Hi.

Took an ARG v XEN war mission which is asking to construct a station at HAT Choice 3.
However on the location it asks to build a defence platform with plot size 7/7/8, had to build a defence platform on the previous war mission for ARG v XEN war. The new defence station can only be build if start with 2/2/2 plot and expand it inside the yellow bubble, but is a very tight fit with all the other stations. Surely the game could calculate a different location but more open?

Here is the screenshot for the required location if trying to set a 7/7/8 plot cannot be build. Has to be first 2/2/2 and then grow.

Here is the ONLINE save.

As per my previous post, the game is asking stations to be build just on top of the gates next to stations which plot cost skyrocketing, especially in sectors like ARG Prime.

Thank you.

It is not necessary for the entirety of the build plot to be inside the yellow circles. Can place them right on the edge, as long as even a tiny fraction of the build plot intersects with the volume indicated by the yellow circles it's good enough for the purposes of the mission.

Also 7/7/8 plot size is the total required dimensions. Not necessary for both +X & -X to be set to 7, they need to add up to 7. Same for Y & Z axes. The plot in the screenshot is twice as big as it needs to be along each axis. You'll end up paying 8x more than is necessary with a build plot of those dimensions.

After 1000 hours, found something new
Thanks.
