I kinda like the killing spree.... so far 4 kills in a row is my best.

However, the thing I think is broken is that capping a ship doesn't give you negative rep.

As long as I don't kill any support ships, I can board other races ships with impunity, building my armada with their stolen ships while staying friends.

The Aamon hasn't had its shield values reduced like the other fighters; it's still got 150k. Rapier and Dragonfly missiles are far weaker than the missiles that M3s can carry, but they can't be carried by M3s.

Can anyone tell me what the effect of a Goner temple is now that it's been patched? It's not in the patch notes.

I built one and it boosted the sector to 15 factory supply and 130 population

Is that in patch 2.7.1 or later? The notes for that patch say that it doesn't max out stats anymore.

Is there a limit to how many sectors you can build temples in?

Thanks a million for answering my question, by the way. Trying to plan things out.

It was after. I'm fairly sure, because I patched it to fix a crash bug.

The goner temple improved the number of stations i could build in a sector from 8 to 13. The population rose from ~80 to a little bit above 100. Its a matter of random numbers now :D

Huh, okay. Thanks for the info. Can you build as many as you want, as long as you spend perks on it?

Yes but remember that goner temple takes sector dock slot. Goner temple also improves research rate of sector.

Didn't know that. Still seems like a pretty good perk; the improved research perk just give +30 research, but extra people and extra factor slots as well as some extra research seems like a hell of a deal even with it taking the dock slot.

Is this still a thing? I've been finding quite a few of them on captured Pirate M6s.
While poking around the KC I ran across the code for adding random ship upgrades to generated ships, including boost extensions. A patch could be made to take that bit out, if some other type of fix isn't already implemented.

I solved this issue by removing Boost Extension to every ship, through a CHANGESECTOR signal (which is triggered when a ship spawns).

Hey big panda,
i think i found a little bug: If you take a look at the missions, the corporations offer you, you find the "defend" missions. The text seems to have an error, as it says "The [race] are currently invading [sector]. ..." The race is always the borons, even if its another corporation.

Joubarbe,

First of all, Wonderful mod. I've been playing since the early 1.x's.

When you put in marines that repair I pulled the marine repair and training script by Lutke and Dr. Bullwinkle, but they had one benefit that yours do not.

Automatic repair of docked ships. ie. Magnatar repairs fighters that return.


I hate to ask for features, but is that something you might consider for inclusion?

Its not only the borons, as i thought. There are also other races in missions of the wrong corporation. It seems like a single defend mission will be created and other ones will be copied from that one, if there is more than one defend mission.

I'd like to see the ability to loop production in larger increments than one at a time, even if it's just a single "loop 100" option.

Work being added on a five second interval saves CPU cycles, but it has a huge impact on productive output for small, cheap items, like missiles.

Suppose I want to make a big pile of Hurricane missiles. They take fiftyish work per missile, so any sanctuary can bang one out every production cycle, but more populated sanctuaries can't do it any faster and I end up getting about 10-12 of them per minute, no matter what. If I've got a 100 population sanctuary and improved specialization maxed out to double the production speed, I still only get about 10-12 per minute. If I make them in a batch of 100, I can make the whole batch in a little over two minutes, which increases my output by a factor of about five, but it's a hassle to work around this.

I know we have a t-file option to modify work cycle duration and can adjust the total work required for item production as well, but if that weren't taxing on the CPU then I assume it would have been done that way to begin with. Looping larger production increments gets around that, so I'd love to see it as an option.

Hey Joubarbe,
have you ever thought about improving the courier script? If you try to automatically transport all mining products to one sector, its really nasty to set it up. Why don't you just add a 'mineral courier' just for all of these crystals and minerals, thats easier to set up?

Some of the complexes such as the meatsteak complex have an L cahoona bakery (tier 2 goods) and an XL cattle (tier 1). Shouldn't it be either both L size or both XL instead?

L cattle is not enough to provide for a 1:1 ratio.

I saw earlier patch notes saying that Teladianium Foundries were switched from XL to L. Why?

As it stands, if you want a sector to be able to supply its own Teladianium to build other factories, you need one Teladianium Foundry for every ~40 people in the sanctuary, so you're looking at 2-3 of these things pretty much always, which seems like a bigger support footprint than is warranted for what they get you. If you want to build your own shields, you need an ungodly number of these factories. They'd be a lot better as XL.
