Can I obtain an HQ in Custom Start???

tetja · Post by **tetja** » Fri, 31. May 13, 13:22

No Plots, no HQ.

Why even do a custom Start?

Hyperiontiger · Post by **Hyperiontiger** » Fri, 31. May 13, 13:34

To freely roam about the universe ... I presently have over 780 million credits and am ready to build my extremely large complex. I also have over 100 ships. I don't feel like starting over to obtain an HQ ... any ideas??

BTW ... I'm playing X3 TC

I have completed the Treasure Hunt plot and received the "Missing Collasis" announcement ...

Yes, the treasure hunt is the only plot available in custom start. I believe there are possible solutions to your problem, but you will need to look in the S&M forum.

What is the S&M forum and how do I get there?

One can "freely roam" in any start. The main intent of Custom start is to play a customized game, and customization is S&M.

Start from [url=http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=216690]TC Download Library[/url], although you could probably just [url=http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=217035]TC Cheat Stickie[/url] add one unit of "HQ Construction Kit" ware into your TL and then build.

Well ... looks like i'll just have to start over ... thanks for your help. It still makes no sense why an HQ mission was not in place for all "Starts", regardless of the purpose of the start.
It's the most important station and should be included ... otherwise, what's the sense????

Custom start is already marked as "modified" right?

So why not just cheat-code the HQ in?

ADMNtek · Post by **ADMNtek** » Fri, 31. May 13, 15:49

or use a script to just add the HQ to a shipyard if you want to buy it.

"cheat-code" IS-A "script"

A plot is a serie of conditions and events. Many plot missions want you to go to specific station or sector. In Custom start the player may choose a custom galaxy map that does not have sectors that the missions require. It is simpler and safer to assume that users of Custom can and will use "other means" rather than to make the plot-missions able to second-guess the Spanish Inquisition.

Some mods (such as AWRM) give you the opportunity to buy 1 or more PHQs regardless of the start if you feel cheating yourself a PHQ is too little of a challenge.

If you really like customize-able starts, the second link in my sig can start you off with your own PHQ sitting in a TL.
You can start in any sector and set your race relations etc ,before you start the game.

I downloaded a cheat to get an HQ, but it did not work. Any help would be appreciated ... never used a cheat before. (playing X3/TC)

Hyperiontiger · Post by **Hyperiontiger** » Wed, 5. Jun 13, 19:35

I tried that ... it did not work.

Please take discussions of scripts and mods to the proper forum. This isn't it. Thanks.

Do you know of one of those custom start mods for TC?

I searched the scripts/mod forum but couldn't find one!
