I understand the HUB plot is quite time consuming and would like to get it under way, although I think I match the requirements for it can't seem to get it to start. Any ideas?
I have met the following criteria:
Non-modified game, (Humble merchant start, 1st game in x3:AB if it matters)
Boron Rank 8 (King's Knight), other commonwealth races at 7-8 as well
Mogul trade rank, Master Chief combat rank
Plenty of credits, ships, factories, game time etc etc
I've been passing through and loitering in many Boron sectors for a while equipped w a triplex scanner and have advanced satellites in most sectors
Still I don't think I've yet been contacted by the mission NPC and the Advanced dolphin or whatever it is he is supposed to be piloting does not appear in my in game encyclopedia. I do currently have the Argon war plot active (on Trial by Fire where you have to return to argon M148, still very early on in the plot). I've kept good rep with most races throughout the game except for occasional mysterious rep drops across the board and the bit of nastiness with the Paranid in acquiring the Hyperion.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
X3:AB HUB plot not starting

And they never will be. AP takes place after all of TC, so putting those same plots in makes no sense. However, as pointed out above, the HUB, PHQ and UFJD will be obtainable through other means in a future patch.
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

It makes sense from an RP continuity standpoint but why completely leave out certain cool functionality out of newer iterations of the game, namely the player HQ, which is the reason I was interested in the HUB in the first place.And they never will be.

edit: Looks like there is talk of including the HQ, in addition to other things, in future patches.

It all depends on how the mod was programmed,what files it uses and how the official updates use those files,if at all.Danubian wrote:Ouch please dont tell me that i have to have unmodified game for HUB plot (whatever it will be for AP when it comes) to unlock
I basically only installed one small mod which is supposed to improve MK3 traders thats all, it will suck hard if i cant progress just cuz of that.
Sounds like you might be ok this time

The MK3 improvement mod really sounded good to me when i saw it.TTD wrote:It all depends on how the mod was programmed,what files it uses and how the official updates use those files,if at all.Danubian wrote:Ouch please dont tell me that i have to have unmodified game for HUB plot (whatever it will be for AP when it comes) to unlock
