X3TC/AP. I assume you mean a player station complex hub and not the Xenon Hub!

A vanilla game answer would be that the next station you want to join is probably more than 20 km from the previous hub position. You need to think in 3 dimensions for the distance and not just how close it looks on the 2D map.

Moving to X Trilogy Universe (gameplay) forum.

some stations are 2km from hub... so thats not the problem, problem i see is, that it does not allow me to select anything else except the hub

If it is all as you say with at least one dropped unconnected station less than 20 km from the hub and you have dropped a CCK, then it has to be a mod or game corruption issue.

Are your stations modified?

What happens when you do select the hub?

You also can't independently complex two other stations (ie making a new hub) if they are more than 20 km apart. You can only join two existing complexes together if their hubs are less than 20 km apart.

lock it, problem was with xtra ship pack, fixed it via x3 editor

For anyone trying to fix the complex creation issue (the complex kit wouldn't show any stations to attach), I have found the fix.

You need to edit the Dummies file, partway down there is a line
SDTYPE_GUN;43;

This should be
SDTYPE_GUN;44;

Since the problem was with a mod, and the OP asked to have the thread locked, I'll oblige.
