Yes, I am aware of that problem, and it is one of the reasons I decided to shelf the no-highways version until I can look into the issue further. I had hoped by now, that Egosoft would have fixed Fighters not being able to follow jump ships or even boost sufficiently to keep up when traveling between zones! As it stands, Fighters are virtually useless in general.

T-file I have already done)) Link above.

Thank you.

@alexalsp: Thank you for your great job on putting together the localization files! I will include those in the next release; which I'm working on now.

Thanks.

Since I'm taking the time to revisit this mod, I've decided to do some major code cleanup and also add a couple of additional gamestarts.

These changes, will obsolete the current mod and render it incompatible. I will keep the old (current) version on Steam Workshop, so that existing players won't be affected. The new version (when released) will have its own Workshop page, which will become the main mod file. Sorry if that's confusing.

Here is the pre-release for the new version (removed) in case anyone wants to try it. Note: Please make sure you disable any previous Transcend mod versions if running this new one.

@alexalsp: I've included your t files (modified) in the above version, but they are missing the Russian translation for the added gamestarts and minor changes in descriptions etc. If you have time, I would love it if you could update the translation and then I can include it in release. Thanks!

Mod and OP updated with the new version. Previous versions (of this mod) are obsolete and incompatible. Please delete any previous versions. Teladi Outpost DLC required.

Compatible with X Rebirth game version 4.10 (and previous versions).

Excellent. Thank you. There are no errors in the log, it's great. For two hours of the game, I did not notice any mistakes. Congratulations on the release. ))

This is superfluous. But it does not interfere.

I noticed a bug. Checked without mods.

Start - Transcend Empire, Transcend Transporter, Transcend Miner

All ships in the start, does not respond to commands.

Observe · Post by **Observe** » Mon, 13. Mar 17, 15:49

@alexalsp: I'm not sure what the problem could be. Everything works fine on my system. Have you tried adding them to your squad? Also, remember this new version requires a fresh game start.

Note: I am using game version 4.10 (public beta). As far as I know, everything should work fine with 4.00 without conflict.

Thanks.

Observe · Post by **Observe** » Mon, 13. Mar 17, 16:24

FYI: I am presently adding two more gamestarts. One of them, is a rework of my previous "Exodus" start. Once this is done, I'll probably leave the mod alone for some time (years?).

alexalsp · Post by **alexalsp** » Mon, 13. Mar 17, 19:18

New game without mod. Version 4.10 RC1.

Do not respond to commands. Fly in the zone. Fly into position. They stand still and do not move.

I tried different starts.

Maybe a glitch.

======================

After adding to the squad, they began to move.

But if I add a ship to the zone, through the cheat menu, he responds to the commands without problems, without being in the squad.

The ships are not in the squad, must obey the commands anyway.

Observe · Post by **Observe** » Mon, 13. Mar 17, 20:37

I see the reason in my code and will correct for next release perhaps today or tomorrow. In the meantime, simply adding to the squad corrects the problem because then the pilot knows who is their commander.

Thanks for catching!

Ooooo Tanscend got a nice shiny new coat of paint....

Gonna have to try this out.... - Thanks for all the hard work....

Observe · Post by **Observe** » Mon, 13. Mar 17, 21:41

Here is the pre-release for the new version with added "Hunted" and "Explorer" starts. This has the fix for the issue (not critical) mentioned a couple of posts ago. The only changes I expect for the final release, will likely involve the "Hunted" start, because I haven't finished it or fully tested it.

The Hunted start, may prove too difficult for players - so I'll be interested in feedback on it. This start, can be useful/fun in testing out Fleet command strategies.

Note: I haven't added text id's for the two new gamestarts yet. Once I do that, I'll ask alexalsp to provide Russian translation if he has time.

Hello NZ-Wanderer.

Thanks.

No problems.

Ships now respond to commands.
