Thanks for the swift response I'll stop spending money training those marines then.

Now what t do with all those hammers I've been stock piling?.

Just a quick question.

When you capture a boarded ship I thought Litcube removed the process where most of the equipment got removed. Did it get reinstated as when I capture ships a lot of the original equipment gets removed. Quite gutted as a marauder I capped had CCDSMK3 installed which is worth a few notes.

I've noticed a minor bug.

I'm running the latest version LU, it's vanilla so no other mods, followed installation instructions to the letter.

The radar wares are all listed as ReadText17-something. This hasn't seemed to have affected anything but their names.

Is this a known issue, or a new one?

I couldn't find a TL for hire in argon or boron space so i went to paranid space and hired a Paranid Supply Hercules. After hiring the TL it seems it can't dock at the Federal Argon Shipyard.

Is this suppose to happen? I can't remember if it has always been this way..

I dont know if is related, but I saw Paranids and Argons fighting small skirmishes with each other in my game. The TL might see the shipyard enemy and cannot therefore dock there.

- ReadText errors are signs of a messed up install. you're sure you didn't skip a step ? (or did one more, like installing the Bonus pack <= that's a NO : don't install the BP)

- Paranids and Argons are enemies. Can't ask a Paranid ship to dock in the middle of Argon space, with all those Argon military ships around...

- I got my answer, I beated the 7th, now I face the final 8th

I didn't have anything X installed except for X Rebirth.

I installed X3AP, transferred it to c:/x3 then followed Method A from the installation guide. Main mod, patch, soundtrack, GUI, ran the game.

The install can still fail for various reasons, and the only thing to do is to try again.

If the only way to fix it is by reinstalling, I'll just leave it. It's only the name of the wares, they still function.

If I place a spacefuel SCH within a race's sector, will it be treated as illegal? I know that distilleries themselves make the npcs unhappy, but if they're in a SCH...

Dude, you really need to work on your flying skills and maybe on the weapon layout of your ship.

In an Appallox with 6xISR front and 6xPBE in the turrets I can easily take out a wing of Fighters with 2xM3, and a couple of M4 and M5.

Still, the OCV can only be beaten with a MASSIVE fleet deployment.

Its OK, I feel I'm pretty good as a pilot and yes no problem taking on a wing of enemies like what you have described. The only problem I am having is trying to work out a way of picking off a couple of OCV ships here and there just to weaken them. They're so much faster, with considerably better shields and weapons. I get the "fleet" thing, but just trying to weaken them a bit just by myself. It seems they just respawn new ships as soon as you kill one which is a little unfortunate and not too realistic.

Other than the killing of pilot combat, I have really enjoyed all that litcube has done with this mod.

You want to single handedly take on the beachhead of a major fleet at overwhelming odds for that extra realistic feel?

Maybe you could issue medals if you managed to complete the impossible. The OCV ships are so powerful a single handed attack equals operation certain death.

Just wanted to pick away at a few stragglers more than anything .... to see if I could even put a dent in their forces. As I'm in an M6 I could really only hope to kill a few M4s before getting the heck out of there!!

I mucked around picking off the little M5 #deca.fade ships which transport their resources for a while, but noticed they respawned straight away - I was hoping to slow their resource gathering as a test. Gethering resources myself at the moment realising I'm going to need at least a couple of M2s and a bunch of escorts of some sort.

If you check the station you'll find that even if ships instantly respawn the station uses resources to do so.
Invasions only occur once resources reach a critical mass.
So, every ship they have to replace in between invasions is potentially another trip the collectors have to make back to nearest full sector before another offensive can take place.

For this reason, intercepting collectors at gates as the OCV acquires more sectors becomes increasingly useful because as their territories expand they have longer trips to make.

Playing LUV latest patch as of 16/12/2014.

Message Bug?.

Hi after a recent skirmish in priest Pity every time I get a message I get a whole page of repeat messages that involve a ship I claimed and subsequently stripped. I have experimented and it happens every time I get a message.

I have a save at the point it just occurred and a test save after I cleared the message log. I did this after having noted a request for such to be available on this thread.

If this is not a known bug I would be happy to forward these saves on for study by the more gifted computer users amongst us. I've only just upgraded from my ZX81 to give you a wildly exaggerated view of my computer abilities. I would however have to be told how to forward the saves. I was considering attaching them to an E Mail. Please PM me and I will follow the instructions if any are required.

Many thanks Shaun.

Any advice would be appreciated.

What is the message?

agleave · Post by **agleave** » Tue, 16. Dec 14, 21:32

Just on the message bug issue, I noticed now (has been happening for a while, but didnt really bother me) that my TS ships when I set them to "collect ware in any sector" go and do the job but now when they're finished they just report back a blank message. In the past, the message would state what ship was leaving the message ... now its just a message from unknown.

Fortunately I usually only have one or two ships performing this task so I just look to see if they're idle or not .....

Can't say for sure how long its been going on for, but a while. Dunno if anyone else has had that issue. Not a game breaker, though.

I'd like to edit my blueprints list in the Export file, but I can't get it right (can't get rid of the Buster's BP nor the Sabre's). Any hint ?
