[TC] Aladna Hill? We can rebuild it!

Post by nponoBegHuk » Sat, 12. Jan 19, 04:48

Just an easy Argon Patrol, they said. Just a couple of sectors, they said...

Military Outpost, which was gone due to previous Notus Hauler summoning attempts, respawned in my face, but everything else...

Will definitely need some help with counting digits. While I do need credits for HUB plot complexes and all, I still find it hilarious that under the right circumstances you could go over 2 000 000 000 credits in a single mission :lol:

has anyone been able to go from 0 to max credits in a one mission? Share your experiences.

Who would've thought that my Notus Hauler summoning voodoo actually worked this time?

I guess it's time to give Aladna Hill some rest.

I did skip the early X3TC versions. The Devs thought those combat missions too easy and had updated them to the hardish progress "kill a ship, get a nickel" model by the time I got in. :|

X3AP has "Shady Business" and therein a simple charity mission that impresses the NPCs (if the player bothers to do it). Numerically it impresses the Forum users too, but in reality it is just a milk run. :cry:

No, have never had a 2bil mission. I did misuse the early X3R Xenon Invasion BBS replicator "bug" to get 1bil from a string of replicas. Once.

Well done! Now you can get a fleet of Notuses: a shipyard makes new fighters to replace the lost. You probably know it.

Could you repeat these actions in Eighteen Billion or Merchant's Haven? Maybe, Falcon Sentinel spawns there... or even Advanced Kestrel (though I consider it unlikely)?
Where is the script creating OWP escorts? Haven't found it yet.

I have no idea where the script is.

Some OWPs have their escorts predefined in x3_universe.xml file, some don't. But even if defined, sometimes the ones existing in the universe do not match with the ones assigned in the game files.

The OWPs in pirate sector never respawn. this is current state of my game:

Will definitely need some help with counting digits.
Ok, so this time around I decided not rushing my game and try all the geeky stuff I hadn't achieved before because of lack of patience, such as collecting every Syndycate/Mercenary ship possible and try to get 2 billion in a single mission. So, can it actually be done? Well, it certainly is!. At least in 1.0.1. But with some patience it should be possible in any version.

Incidentally, soon after hitting around 2^31 credit mark (2147M), as expected, the integer sign flips and you end up paying Argons for the mission, instead of getting rewarded. Watch this video to see how such mission behaves upon completion (and how I dealt with the situation in order to lose as little money as possible).
