Ah, so NPCs can queue their orders, but the player can't? That explains it!Marvin Martian wrote:Disable of NPC oders at your SY will stop adding new Orders, outstanding oders will processed anyway
Maybe a clear Queue could added, but here a compensation should be payed from you in my opinion
OK, that works for me, I accept that!
IMHO, something must be done about the FPS. It only affects the smalltalk, so in the old CWIR, I elected to reveal the skills of the NPCs on my stations, but now I forgot how I did that!!!!
Also something must be done about the number of undercover ships. In my game, they are everywhere, and attacking stations and ships randomly, while the local government ships do nothing!!! There must be a way to scan them to reveal their identity for better game play!!!!!
Also #2: Xenon Matrix 1 & 2 seem to do the same thing (have only 1 production for ShipParts)! I thought one of them also produces EC and Antimatter Cells in addition to ShipParts!!!!

@Marvin Martian
In my 5 day old game, the FPS has dropped from 60 at starting a new game to 15 in a 5-day old game.
I would like to reduce the number of trade ships, especially the "Universal Trader" that can be numbered over 40 (and doing absolutely nothing) at certain zones. Typical zones are Auspicious Excavation, Watergate, all Jump Beacon zones, and especially zones with gates.
Forgot to say that my game mode was initially at Normal, then changed to Hard as suggested in the readme.
Which file/config entry should I modify to cut down to 1/3 of the vanilla config? Should I drop the Difficulty back to Normal?
Thanks for the great work!!!!!

add compatibility-extension for Extinguished Hope and make at DV Shipyards Smallship-productions as optional buildstep
I talked to the police chief, and there is an option that
Would it turn on when I build a Warehouse/TradeCenter? (This is a new game, I have given up the previous game when its FPS dropped to the low teens).
If I want to have my traders (home at my warehouse) to only trade within the system/cluster AND with my other warehouses (only) in a different system/cluster, can that be done? of course, I don't want galaxy trading, because that would kill all my traders.
but it is greyed out. I have 2 questions:limit range of each trade center to local cluster instead of galaxy for tradesubscriptions and updates

this is the option to manage automatic tradesubscriptions by the Tradecenter Manager (the mostly useless Masstraffic station you can build with HoL CV)
---
The Warehouse Tradestationnetwork only buy required ware at other owned Warehouses if there is a stocklevel over 50% and the price is good - it is no galaxy range sell agent
so you need in the space you want to supply a warehouse who do the job, but you can at that set a ship to buy ware also from your other warehouses (best limit range of this ship at captain option to zone, buy only and whitelist this ship to network - tradestation-option should be changed from blacklist to whitelist - you can setup here range and if required blacklist single stations/zones* too)
*) the range is not directly working with stations, it use the containing zone, so if in your warehouse zone are other stations of yours too, the ship might buy at this stations too
if the stations is not part of the network and the pilot have higher skills it might automaticly use a Gate to a adjacently sector in case the warehouse sitting in a sector/zone with active gate - but thats all only in case there is no local trade available

Q: what the hell has trading got to do with the police chief.
Shouldn't the trade be down to the trade manager and licence seller.
Maybe as an idea a "Trade chancellor" that deal with all to do with trade by setting up trading with other factions/stations.
how it works is talk to trader manager then get licence from dealer then your trading agreement with the trade chancellor and bobs you uncle.
Or something similar to this.

ATM this is the way you get access to Mod-Ingame-config menu, the npc have a free conversation slot and isn't very busy
i would also prefer to manage this by talk to the copilot or betty, but there is IMO now easy way to get access to

as far i know we can't add new entitytypes, as this reason the police-chief also contains "Diplomatic" with the addional option to get in touch with enemies
we would like to use an entitytype.ambassador here, but there is now way
internal as port of my Cheat-Package i add also a function that add to my stations licence traders of the mainfactions and mechanics and dealers with advanced selection but this should not directly part of the game
maybe i will add an option to PL-cheats for such things

From what I figured out by browsing through the XML files is that the warehouses stop (actively) buying at a stocklevel of about 20%. If this 50% threshold is true then that explains why my warehouse to warehouse network isn't working properly.Marvin Martian wrote:The Warehouse Tradestationnetwork only buy required ware at other owned Warehouses if there is a stocklevel over 50% and the price is good

What I've been seeing is that the normal small traders assigned to warehouses stop buying at 20% warehouse stocklevel. Ships assigned to other stations might still be selling to warehouses but they're mostly busy with supplying the other stations for production.Marvin Martian wrote: sure?
buying should stop 80-100% stocklevel (depending on situation)
selling ware might stop at 20% stocklevel in some cases
the reason of 50% is simple to prevent traderuns across the galaxy for hand full of nothing - and i don't want to make huge calculations each time about costs
