Build Complex....Ooops

[DJVicious]

Scenario:

• Use build complex command, establish station you want built and so on...

• During the process, race notoriety drops and TL will not continue building. Shows in the property window that race notoriety is "too low"

• Regain race notoriety to previous levels, enough to buy the stations requested

• Using ships Special>Build Complex command, there is an option to continue building previous set complex

• This option does not restart the complex building. The voice command indicates "command accepted" but the ship stays stuck in place near where the complex was being built

I have verified there are no enemy ships in the sectors it had been locating the stations in. I have opened each sector from the map and I have personally visited the core sectors for that race in which the ship was buying any stations I did not have in inventory already. To no avail, it still does not resume the complex building.


Thanks,

Try sending the TL to purchase the station manually that it's stuck on, then restart the command.

Also - If you happen to have the BP for the station you need, the TL will automatically add it to the build queue at the Spacelab Headquarters. And it will wait idle for it to finish then go pick it up.

Thanks, if only I would have caught this sooner, I might have given that a go. At this point, I had my TL's pack up the stations and put them in the HQ. I'll restart building the complex from scratch at this point as nearly all the stations are in the HQ and only have 5 stations left to buy out of the 42 station complex I'm building. lol

I think I may have found the issue. It seems the "Build Complex" feature taps out at 40 stations in the complex. As I noted in my previous, I packed all the stations and started the process over leaving only 7 stations left to buy for my build. Total station count is 47. I tried as you suggested and manually docked my TL at purchased the stations I still needed. Each time I restarted the build, it would move to the location, place the stations and stall again citing "Notoriety Too Low".

Once I manually bought the remaining 7 stations, the build complex resumed on its own and purchased the complex hub and extensions as expected.

Hope this help for anyone building larger complexes. Maybe Cycrow will have some input on this one.
