Slightly down the list on his readme it says that leveling speed was increased. It's unfortunate if there's no way to set a toggle for that, but everything else is so crucial that I'll live with the crew leveling speed increase just to keep the rest.kuertee wrote: ↑Tue, 12. Apr 22, 17:53i'll check with him. but i don't think the "Increases capabilities of 1,2,3,4 star pilots" feature is crew levelling. as far as i understand it, he's upped the base capabilities of pilots. e.g. 1-star pilots have capabilities of a 2-star pilot with the mod turned on. they'll still level up based on what they do in the game. i'll check with him. regardless, his tweaks mostly change the parameters/values of various lines of code of the base game ai - rather than add new logic (like my changes). it'll be difficult to add a setting in the Extension Options to disable them.kmunoz wrote: ↑Tue, 12.

Not really sure what I'm looking at here; and luck hasn't anything to do with it. I'm not saying I'm already leveling fast enough; I'm saying I don't want to level any faster than I do. That's largely down to the fact that I don't play the game with an expectation of high levels of automation - so things like autotrade and automine are nice but their functional unavailability for a long stretch of the game doesn't bother me.DeadAirRT wrote: ↑Tue, 12.

X4 leveling doesn't accrue experience like you would expect, it is purely chance based. The chart above describes the different "experience categories" with their chance to level and the maximum level you can attain via that event/category. Each star is actually 3 levels and goes up to 15 as you can see.kmunoz wrote: ↑Wed, 13. Apr 22, 02:47Not really sure what I'm looking at here; and luck hasn't anything to do with it.

The increased rates affect the AI and the player.
If you don't want it, delete libraries/experiences.xml but it is unlikely to become an option in the UI due to the massive amount of work it would take.

Do you have a sense of how much more rapidly your tweak results in level increases, relative to the default? If it's still likely to take multiple hours for a pilot to go from 1-3 then I'd be happy keeping the tweak in. But if I walk away from my desk to get a snack and come back to all my pilots maxed out...

Re: [mods] kuertee's (RPG, gameplay, QOL, UI): 15 Apr: Friendly Fire Tweaks beta: ignore player-owned NPC ship friendly
Hey all, I released an update to Friendly Fire Tweaks:
Note the new feature for player-owned NPC ships.
I released this as beta for now because I've not had time to test it properly.
Of course, it requires several hours of no reports of aggressiveness against your NPC ships - except those that you manually ordered to attack.
EDIT: And I've not received those reports against my NPC ships in my current game of about 5-days game time, to begin with.
My game is not the best test subject for this feature. END EDIT.
I'd appreciate any feedback on it.
it's safe to install over the top of its previous version. The player-friendly-fire features will work as in previous versions.
Friendly fire tweaks: https://www.nexusmods.com/x4foundations/mods/708
Beta update: v5.1.0001-beta-01, 15 Apr 2022:
-New feature: Friendly AIs will use "Victim is targeted" and the "Victim's shields are 25% or less" on player-owned NPC ships. I.e. Friendly AIs will only respond to your NPC's friendly fire against them if your NPCs have an attack order against them or if the friendly AI's shields are less than 25%. I discovered how this could be done on my work on my other mod, Attack AI Tweaks.
-Tweak: The debugging tool will show its result in the chat window. There's no need to enable the game to export debug logs. Simply open the chat window to test player-friendly-fire results. Read more in the section Debugging below.

Re: [mods] kuertee's (RPG, gameplay, QOL, UI): 15 Apr: Friendly Fire Tweaks beta: ignore player-owned NPC friendly fires
I had an issue with the Hacking Outcomes mod today - I wasn't able to "Log Out". The menu wouldn't go away. I was able to work around it by doing some things that I thought would shake it loose, like going to the map switching missions, and eventually I was able to escape the menu. (I clicked on the panel, engaged the hack, then used one of the menu options to get a mission. After that, I couldn't log out. I don't know if I would have been able to log out if I'd only hacked the panel.)
Additionally... and this may just be that I don't know what I should be doing... I wasn't sure that the thing I was trying to do (shut off station turrets) actually worked. I had a mission to sabotage three turrets on the station, which I assumed meant hacking the turret console, but when I did that, there was no change in mission state.

Re: [mods] kuertee's (RPG, gameplay, QOL, UI): 15 Apr: Friendly Fire Tweaks beta: ignore player-owned NPC friendly fires
Question: How much in Credits would you pay to get full immunity on attacks against bounty hunting targets? I.e. What is the value of Relationship Points in Credits?
Bounty hunting is offered in my Emergent Missions mod's Search And Destroy missions. And if you also have my other mod, Reputations and Professions, installed, you get access to the Bounty Hunter's Guild.
In the current version, the guild offers a treaty with your target's faction to prevent them from retaliating against your attacks on the target. I.e. sector security will ignore the target's distress calls. The cost for this is about 150k or so depending on your relationship with the target's faction.
In my unreleased version, you can buy full immunity for your attacks. I.e. you won't get a penalty on your Relationship Points. How much would you pay for this? 1M?
The rewards for a successful Search And Destroy mission is about 2.6M for an L-sized target, depending on your relationship with their faction) + any bonus based on how many ships that target has destroyed (e.g. 380k for an M-sized ship).
Is preventing a drop of Relationship Points with the target's faction worth half the reward?

Re: [mods] kuertee's (RPG, gameplay, QOL, UI): 15 Apr: Friendly Fire Tweaks beta: ignore player-owned NPC friendly fires
I wonder if it would be interesting to have it done as a "kickback," where the value of every reward is reduced in exchange for immunity. Maybe the percentage kickback is dependent on your rep.
Otherwise I think you'll end up in a runaway condition where the price of the immunity eventually becomes negligible with respect to the player's bank account. $1M is a lot if I've only got $10M, but if I have $100M I wouldn't even bat an eye; it's effectively free immunity. (This is a problem that happens with things like faction licenses in vanilla as well, but in those cases, those licenses are part of the bootstrap that gets you to high bank account numbers, so you're more likely to take them when you have relatively less money.)

yeah, the cost of full immunity (i.e. no retaliation against your attacks, and no relationship penalties on your attacks) for that one target is already dependent on your relationship with the target faction.kmunoz wrote: ↑Sat, 30.

but i'm unsure of what you mean by "kickback". at the moment you simply buy either partial immunity (i.e. distress calls by your target will be ignored), or full immunity (partial immunity + no relationship penalties). and the cost is immediately deducted from your monies - regardless of whether you eventually succeed in destroying the target or not. i.e. you may not get rewarded because the target has been destroyed by another faction.
i don't really like to scale elements based on the player's successes - e.g. 100M in cash. any player who's earned that (whether normal play, or SETA overnight), deserves an easier play-through. it's the old argument in RPGs: scale enemies with the player so that seemingly-low level goblins are as strong as a level 20 knight, or don't scale enemies so that a level 20 knight can kill a goblin with a sneeze.

Maybe I misunderstood how this works. Is the immunity per bounty, or permanent? If it's per bounty, then that's effectively what I was hoping for (same result, different mechanism).kuertee wrote: ↑Sun, 1.

Latest capship attack AI tweaks are awesome, I can finally don't babysit each and every destroyer! But I've noticed that my Behemoths with Plasma turrets do far less damage OOS compared toIS, like two order of magnitude less. IS 7 destroyers kil lstation in ~10-20 minutes, OOS they hadn't reached 70% in more than an hour. This mod is still much, much better than vanilla AI, but I think this issue worth looking into

Capital ships in low attention follow the same behaviour rules as those in high attention. If they get close to their targets in low attention, they’ll move away if they get damaged exactly with the same rules as if they are in high attention.leoriq wrote: ↑Tue, 3.

And … as listed in the mod’s “What the mod doesn’t do” section of its description:
I don’t want to try to change the damage dealt/received calculation of objects in low attention because these values are not in the aiscripts. I.e. the aiscripts don’t remove hull points from ships during combat. It’s likely handled internally by the exe. That is, of course, if I remember this correctly.5. Increase the efficiency of attacks in low attention. Damages received and dealt in attacks in low attention are determined by the base game. I.e. ships could be in good attack ranges (and out of reach of their target's weapons) but still not deal the optimal damage per second.
