Hi, michtoen!
Thank you very much for your nice work, bro! It made me very happy.
There are a few questions.
1. How to make all fonts and menus larger? In high resolution, everything is so small now that I will soon become completely blind (I am 57 years old and I do not see well in the menu even with glasses). When installing, the option of a large font was turned on (tahoma 13), but I see no differences with what was in the original game. Is the font larger?
2. All ships in my game began to fly slower than it was in XRM. For example, my starting Sirokos flies at a speed of 205 m/s (maxed), and in the past it flew 256 m/s. All other ships also reduced speed proportionally. How should it be real in the new game?
3. At the beginning of the game it is almost impossible to buy shields and weapons for the ships. They are simply not available, even transports are very difficult to wear. Abandoned ships also stand idle, because for them there is absolutely no equipment. I am saved only by barter, but this is not at all interesting and should not be so. Can this be somehow changed?
TVM for you help!
WBR, Vyacheslav.
1. thats not that easy to do. You can either remove everything what is in "000 - Base/X3AP_COPYME" - which will make the game show the default UI or set a smaller resolution for the game at all in the gfx card settings.
2. The speed is adjusted by some of the used mods, i did nothing by myself. But for all capital ships are now variants - some are faster as the default, some have more shield. Anyway, 256 for a M7 Frigate, the 3rd largest standard ship class, is to much. There are M3 which are slower. Which makes not that much sense. I assume that are the reasons. The overall ship speed is more or less the same.
3. Well, that not different as in the vanilla game. But why should anyone except some pirates sell you military hardware ? You can't go around in real life to and say "hey, i need some cruise missile for my next raid - anyone?". But if you look around in the shipyards you will see that you can buy factories which will build weapons, missiles and shields.
In fact is THAT the goal of the game - to build up the infrastructure to arm you fleet.
You will notice that you can't buy factories for some xenon or Khaak weapons, which makes it impossible to fit out every bailed out ship. So, you have to collect here the weapons from the bails and use the ships you can't fit out for selling. Be creative.
But anyway - if you repair the bailed ships and sell them, you can make money ALOT faster as in vanilla. Which you will need, because if you activate some of the invasion scripts, you will need alot money and resources to build up a fleet.
