[SilverDragonLord]

[Nec_V20]

SilverDragonLord,

the Otas HQ is "way down south" and it will take you forever to get there (or at least it will feel like it). It is at

-191 km 36.3 km and -230 km in Akeena's Beacon

.

DO NOT land at the Otas HQ shipyard. If you do, then the only menu you will be able to access is the one reached through the Esc key.

[SilverDragonLord]

thx for the help

I dropped the cat and dat files into the mod folder and I also installed the scripts, but for some reason when I enter my game I am told that the mod files cant be detected? This is for the XTM f.y.i


What can I do to solve this dilemma?

[ninjitsumonk]

Are you loading up original saves?
Note: you must start a new game when you use a new mod.
Are you sure the mod folder is named properly?
Finally if all else fails try and re-download the XTM mod.

[Christie]

don't put the mod files in the mod folder but in the main X3 directory along with the other .cat/.dat files

[Corvis Corax]

will do!

It cannot pick up Gppc's or Bppc's despite its huge cargoe space. Is this a bug or something that was deliberate?

If you check it out, I think you'll find the Custodian can only carry L size cargo, which is why you can't pick up larger PPCs. The thing is, that ship is not designed to stand alone--it's a shield frigate, which is designed to instantly recharge other ship's shields (which explains why it has so few guns for such a large ship--it's meant to operate as part of a fleet!).

[pjknibbs]

NEC's coordinates are incorrect because the Otas HQ is in a random position in every game. You've already been given the coordinates for its location in YOUR game, but bear in mind those coordinates are listed in metres--you need to divide by 1000 to get kilometres.

Yeah... thanks for the info.

Unfortunately, it DOES stand alone - and very well. So much so that its worth putting up with these little oddeties.

Im going to try docking it with an m6 as instructed... I think the reaper would be an excellent choice.

[SilverDragonLord]

idk about random but it was exactly where he said it was

Right! Where do I begin? I have XTended Installed and was doing the Bala Gi Missions. I'm up to the point where they tell me to retrieve the Yacht Prototype M7. So I go on my merry way to the unknown sector (through Maelstrom which has shed loads of pirates in it now courtesy of Xtended!). When I get to the unknown sector I thought it was just a matter of claiming the Nemesis, claiming the abandoned Nova and towing the Yacht, right?

But no.

Upon entering the system i'm presented with this huge son of a gun Xenon-like sphere! What the hell is it? I fired on it! No result. I went in it, it's got some revolving thing too fast for my ship to enter! It looks well scary! What the hell is it!

And another question, I searched everywhere for the abandoned Nova and I can't find it! Anyone shed some light on this please!

It was an interesting flying experience!

The Nova is gone to make room for the Dyson Sphere, and check the BBS for something from a taladi about a ship in maelstrom. That will kick off the missions for the Dyson Sphere. Enjoy

Jesse! It just hit me how big XTended was! I didn't even know there were

extra missions to do with this "Dyson Sphere!"

Thanks! I think i'll finish the Bala Gi missions first though

[pjknibbs]

You're still running 0.7a of XTM, by the sounds. 0.7.2 moved the sphere elsewhere.

Anyway, moving this over to the XTM topic...

Actually, the Dyson Sphere is still in that sector in 0.72 as long as the game was started under 0.7a. It's there in my game as well, even though I upgraded to 0.72.

you must finish the plot afaik

[philip_hughes]

Found an abandoned centaur MK1 in a xenon sector. Cannot claim it. Bug or some software needed?

[pjknibbs]

You'd need something like Cycrow's Salvage Claim Software to claim anything larger than an M3, and the only ship in the game it's worth DOING that with is the P Raider you can find...the Centaur Mk I isn't worth more than the cost of the software in the first place (about 6.5 million).
