Xenon hull parts?

Post by kmunoz » Tue, 3. Aug 21, 19:56

I've got a mission from the Terrans vs Xenon group to "scan a ship with hull parts." I thought Xenon didn't use hull parts...?

They don't. Hope that the ship carrying HP does not actually have to be Xenon.

Scan any ship with the requested ware and the mission will complete.
The race of the ship isn't taken into account.

Good to know - but also disappointing. You'd think that would matter, given the flavor text!

This is already as you requested :
"scan a ship"
means
"scan any ship"
Not a single word about Xenon, right?
X4 is not a destination. It's a journey. Unfortunately in a wrong direction.

Correct. However, the entire mission and the entire mission set is about Xenon - and specifically about the Xenon supply chain.

Xenon do not use hull parts. Hull parts are not in their supply chain. Hull parts have absolutely nothing to do with Xenon, and scanning a ship containing hull parts will give the faction no useful information about the Xenon supply chain.

Being *technically* correct here is the wrong kind of correct.

That is true. The scan missions spawned by Guilds would have to have more strict criterias: (1) target ship faction same as Guild's topic, and (2) ware to scan what target faction does carry.

XEN have Ecells, Ore, and Silicon? Terrans carry different set than Commonwealth. Alas, as long the ware selection is not limited to possible wares, the faction limit cannot be there. You don't want to fail a mission chain, because the last step is impossible.

Haven't the devs been busy fixing other generic mission types, because they did end up impossible?


I have a vague recollection that some scan mission type had "in sector X" requirement. Could be wrong.

It is a little unnecessarily confusing. <Any Faction> should probably be referenced.
