Passenger Transport and the Space Taxi achievement

Post by Sehnsucht1985 »

Out of the 137 achievements I have in X4 after almost 1250 hours of playing since 2018, this is the worst one so far. One of the PT mission types is chronically bugged, which is why I am posting this here. That would be the Boron exploration one, forget the name, but only found it in Boron space, and all 3 times I attempted one, it never acknowledged that I had docked at the station - tried with both an Astrid and an Irukandji (so M and S). Tried docking myself, let the AI do it, tried teleporting to and from the docked ship, etc. And yes, also tried to find the npc on the station.

Here are my other personal issues with PT in general for anyone who cares:
- So many stations only have a 1M6(?)S dock, meaning my Astrid would frequently get dumped in internal storage right after I left to get the NPC
- We have a single perfect ship in X4 for PT jobs with the Astrid, being a fast luxury yacht, but I'd say about 60% of the PT missions I got were limited to S only, so I had to have an S ship in tow all across the known universe
- Since it only counts the number of jobs in a single save, ain't nobody getting the achievement without actively hunting for it. The payouts are awful and the missions are rare (I went over an hour between missions sometimes, with a very heavily modded Astrid and me in a crew seat with SETA on)

Took me 3 or 4 long game sessions to get 20 PT missions done, and in the end, the last 7 were found in CUB space. That was by far the best I found, and I went across the entire universe 3 or 4 times (all sectors unlocked, including Timelines). Wish I was less stubborn; I'd have skipped this one. Now for the claim 10 ships one, which for whatever reason only counts M ships taken by marines..

If you think there is actually a bug here then please provide the information requested in the very first thread at the top of the forum, including a link to a savegame with one of these missions in progress.

If you have general feedback then don't bury it in a report about something else. Post it in the main forum, and stick to one topic per thread.

Space Taxi achievement is best done in S ship because they PT missions often either go to a ship with only S docks or originate from one. The main issue is their extreme rarity. Missions that originate from ships also very quickly despawn with distance.
