I can confirm in 3.0 you can still get ship blueprints via EMP. Didn't try on 3.10 as I have every blueprint, but I stole Cobra blueprint that way in the first days after 3.0 was released.Imperial Good wrote: ↑Fri, 1. May 20, 19:05Possibly a bug. I suggest people report it.
One is not meant to be able to obtain blueprints from ships via EMP. This was meant to have been fixed in a patch many months ago.

Re: Stealing ship blueprints?
That's very true... but it CAN NOT be that everything is a curveball against the players CAN IT? IMHO the PHQ in X4 came early for luck of other content to "dress up" an Alpha version named final... Right now there are too many issues of playability in this game to worry about PHQ and blueprints...
Re: Stealing ship blueprints?
I've noticed that you went from "possibly a bug" to "it is a bug" lately. Do we have a confirmation from devs?Imperial Good wrote: ↑Sun, 3. May 20, 02:19All other non-station module blueprints such as ship designs, surface elements for both stations and ships and other ship loadout choices should only be obtainable by buying them from a faction representative. If they can be obtained by any others means then it is a bug.
Signature yes signature a GIGANTIC SIGNATURE!!
Re: Stealing ship blueprints?
I TRIED using over a manorina, and after scanning the 4 points i did not got the blueprients.
i did got it from the raptor, so i am guessing you can get them from L and XL ships, but no from the others? ill check further.

Re: Stealing ship blueprints?

Re: Stealing ship blueprints?
Is it possible to get blueprints from ships you own (capped or bought), but don't have BP for yet?
Re: Stealing ship blueprints?
Yes, but that destroys the ship and I don't have XL shipyard yet and don't want to lose my Monitor. xD
Re: Stealing ship blueprints?
Come to think of it... You WILL have an L/XL shipyard in order to reverse engineer your Monitor... then you'll just have to built it up again at 1/4 of it's cost (instead of 3 times it's value that is the price of the blueprint)... so... better steal an L/XL shipyard blueprint fast...
Besides, you did bought the Monitor right? And, most probably, had to wait forever for it to be built...
There is another nice mod that I use a lot... it allows me to see all the dataleaks on a station and (if I have the tools researched in HQ) "steal" the modules blueprints!!! I'm pretty sure that in the 3rd or 4th (5th the most) Shipyard you scan with this you'll get the shipyard blueprints...
Re: Stealing ship blueprints?
You can't steal shipyard blueprints. It's been like that since forever unless they changed it?dtpsprt wrote: ↑Sun, 17. May 20, 01:57Come to think of it...

Hey, what do you take me for? I'm an honest pirate, of course I stole it!
I would be grateful for a link.

Re: Stealing ship blueprints?
Reverse engineering at a high cost needs to make a comeback otherwise playing the bad guy is simply not fun if i have to be friends with everyone first...
Re: Stealing ship blueprints?
Aw, I actually like the Cobra, but I play FRF side. Split ships have become my favourites for combat. Such speed, many guns, so elegant, wow.
Re: Stealing ship blueprints?
I didn't like Split designs in X3 because other species had much lovelier looking, but in X4 others are so unattractive to me that Split are the nicest looking (plus nostalgia also helps I guess).
I took the Theia sector for my own and now am capping all the Split miners, traders, builders and auxiliaries that go through it.
Re: Stealing ship blueprints?
I just "discovered" the Rattlesnake for myself.
I usualli don't like flying capital ships, and prefer dogfighting with either small ships or corvettes. But this beast? Ho!Ho!
I feel like I found my new favourite toy.
Humans are deuterostomes, which means that when they develop in the womb the first opening they develop is the anus.
This means that at one point you were nothing but an asshole.
Some people never develop beyond this stage.
