[#2890] Yaki Questline Autocompleted Wrongly by AI

Post by GoldenAlpharex »

Useful Info:
Version 7.10 HF 2 (538965)
My game is 100% vanilla.
I used the "Terran Cadet" game start.
I've not made any changes to my game, system or software before the issue occurred.


Exact nature of the problem, where and when it occurs and what you were doing at the time:

Tl;dr: The Xenons attacked and destroyed the only Yaki base in existence while I was right in the middle of trying to do their questline, ending it for me, all the while the whole gimmick of the Yaki is that they managed to get the Xenons to not attack them, and tolerate their presence in their systems.

Here's a slightly-modified version of what I wrote in details about the bug in my post at viewtopic.php?p=5249962#p5249962, where a moderator recommended that I report the situation as a bug, as they agreed this situation didn't really make sense. Here it goes:

I was wondering if there's anything I can do to salvage the Yaki questline. I was on my way to do Save Them From Themselves, having gone and told the Terran Secret Services that the Yaki were not a threat, as my goal was to get the Yaki to not be wiped so that I could eventually purchase their blueprints. A few hours after talking with the secret services and finishing The Smoking Gun, I finally grew the balls to go and try to destroy the Amplifier. I got my ass royally whooped by Xenon forces attacking me while I was trying to take down the Amplifier. I thus loaded the save I made right before I attacked the amplifier.

On my way out of Savage Spur I after that failed attempt that I save-scummed, I notice that the icon for the Yaki base is shaking on my map view, and it seems a bit damaged. I rush there with my Litigious Rodent (so I don't get rekt by Xenon forces), and wouldn't you know it, there's some fighters harassing them. At first, I'm like, "seems under control, the station has turrets", but then I see that there's a K that popped out of nowhere and is headed towards the station. I pop a quicksave and try to go and take it down with my Moreya, to see if I can do it. Get royally dunked on by fighters that popped out, it also angered the entire Xenon faction when I did that, so I loaded back my quicksave. I kill a few of the attacking Xenon fighters that the station was already dealing with, no big deal, no other ship other than the K seems to be hostile towards them or me. I boost away from the station, only to notice the K seems to turn towards me. I realize the K is somehow after me, so I sigh in relief, and just start traveling out of the system, thinking that they'll be fine.

An hour and a half or so later, I get the following messages in chat when I'm in the middle of fighting some Ks in Hatikvah's Choice:

Turns out the Xenons went back for the station and destroyed it, screwing me over in my goal of saving the Yaki (at least for the time being, so I can get their blueprints). After a moment, they even destroyed their build storage too.

At some point, I decide to try and see what was left of the station in my Litigious Rodent, and the Cover mechanic doesn't seem to work anymore, it's not cloaking me as a Yaki no more.

Here's an additional little request, if there's anything that can be done to fix the bug in my game:

I just want to know if there's anything that can be done to make it so that the Xenons don't wrongly attack the Yaki out of the blue and cuck me out of doing the questline myself, after I went through the troubles of figuring out how to resolve the whole questline with as little damage to every faction as possible? I still have the save from before the attack on the Amplifier, and I have another save from a little over an hour before the Yaki station got completely wiped, in case it's possible to restore things there (ideally it would be, I'd love to lose as little progress as I can, heh).


Savefiles:

Here's a savefile some time before I got to the amplifier station to do my first attempt at destroying it (which I then save-scummed back to this after failing miserably, the Xenons were already attacking the base back then it seems, I had mis-remembered in my original post. They visibly had JUST gotten started not too long ago, the base still had a TON turrets, and had lost much less health than my next savefile): https://gofile.io/d/XKhVjp

Here's a savefile while the Xenons were attacking the base quite intensely: https://gofile.io/d/WhytYM

Here's a savefile shortly after the Xenons destroyed it: https://gofile.io/d/P535Sd

Thanks in advance for the help!
