[MOD] [TC/AP] X3 Rebalance Mod (XRM) - Total conversion - v1.30d (02.12.13)

[paulwheeler]

Hi I've been playing around 1 week now and I'm getting along ok slow but ok I live the mod I played vanilla to do argon plot then started new game with xrm mainly due to ships you add haha

I have a few questions

I bought a mercury tank it only has a L cargo hold were can I find the superfrieghter I am in argon prime currently

The encyclopedia tells you selling locations. The standard Mercury is also XL - its only the tanker versions that are L

Can I donate anywhere for your work as I feel you provided me with a expansion not a mod

Yes you can hit the donate links on the main XRM forum linked from the OP.

Will you be adding more ships

Probably not.

I suck at combat I can't hit a barn door in the new speedy discovery I'm a little better in nova vanguard but I rely on missiles silkworms mainly any tips for more automated targeting

Install fight command software and turn on auto-targeting (the X key)

A lot of people mention bailing and capping is this possible for every ship I see? And is the m0 destroyer in xrm and cappable ?

Its only possible for all ships using the XRM System Override Software.

My satellites keep disappearing in sectors advanced sats is this normal or am I being a noob ?

They are being shot down

I built 2 stations in ringo moon using automated service it layed them on top of each other making targeting them difficult can I move on or sell one and can I make a complex via system I used to buy these ? I don't see complex for sale

They will eventually destroy each other - but only if you're in sector. Out of sector they will function normally. If you make a complex they will still be colliding. Cheat destroy one if you're worried.

And finally were do I start plots I'm kinda lost I'm merchant start i got around 10 mil in bank and I'm accepted advisor with argon so far all I have got is a message about a hijacked ship and to contact argon if is spot it was a centaur I believe just want a aim or mission to focus on haha

The plots are all as per vanilla generally - there are plenty of guides around.

Sorry for all questions bad punctuation spelling mistakes and so on lol it's 1 am and I've been on xrm 18 hours now haha

Thanks for the expansion [/img]

Hi there ! First, I'd like to thank you Paul for your mod.

Now, I've found a bug in the Corporation Troubles Plot. When you are asked to dock with a TL to a shipyard in order to get your reward, the game chooses randomly the shipyard. In my game, it chose the PAR Shipyard in Bright Profit, meaning that I couldn't get my Polacca to dock there and finish the plot.

I used the Cheat Package to get it, but it's an issue that shouldn't be hard to solve, like changing the PAR Shipyard models in TFactories.

Fixing that will require a significant rewrite of the plot (I dont want to give PAR shipyards the standard model). Probably not something I will ever get around to fixing... You have to be very unlucky for it to pick a PAR shipyard.

I have been altering a few ship stats for my current game but ran into a problem. I have been using the T.ships file in the .cat for xrm but it seems there is no entry for the kyoto. Is this ship located elsewhere or have I just totally missed it?

You're editing the wrong TShips. There are two TShips in part 2 - one for TC and one for AP.

[paulwheeler]

Hello all,

ship Quasar (Argon M3) has 3 turrets, one of them for missiles. How to use this one? It can be loaded with 4 missiles, is it possible to launch them at once? If yes, how?

Same as with M7Ms.

Ah it was one of those moments when the tv doesn't work then you notice it isn't plugged in, thanks for the help.

Yeah, I guess I was. Too bad you can't fix it.

I had a small suggestion about the UFJD : a while ago, Roguey made a mod adding a whole new interest for exploring unconnected sectors. It works with XRM, and I was wondering what you thought of it and if you were interested by it - with a few tweaks, it could be a very good addition to XRM.

Also, this mod uses the SSID of ships and crates in order to spawn them, where should I look for thoose codes in XRM ?

Hey there, been playing around with the mod for a while, and it's awsome.

I have a question about the Bounce mod.The one improving colision avoidance for small ships.
Does it work with XRM? And if it does, what are the steps in installing bounce togheter with XRM? I mean, do the Bounce normal rules apply, or do i have to do something special for it to work with XRM?

[Sparky Sparkycorp]

Hi there,

Bounce is indeed compatible with XRM. Although in view of the differing models, Bounce needs a dedicated "Wall File" for XRM.

stephen12345 created one that I found fine, which is here:
http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php? ... 54#4334454

Edit: Other than that, you just need to follow the Bounce installation instructions and ensure you have XRM installed already.

In case useful to others, Bounce can be found here:

Good day.

Quick question about TL's. Is there any other ship except the Mobile Research Ship that is able to dock TS's/TP's?

Thank you.

[Sparky Sparkycorp]

They might be able to dock externally on carriers but I am not positive.

I tihnk they use the same ports as M6s so it's probably 1 per carrier (apart from one Telardi Carrier, which I think can dock several).

[unknown1]

Hi again.
How should Improved Races be installed togheter with XRM? the IR cat/dat before XRM ones or after?

[Sparky Sparkycorp]

As a general guide, Paul advises that XRM should be installed before anything else. Thus IR cat/dat numbers will need to be bigger than those of XRM.

[unknown1]

Thank you verry much for the fast response.

Hi there.
I know that the terran TL Polacca can dock 2 TS/TP/M6, since I have one in my current game. I don't know for the other TLs, but it should be the same.
(I'm guessing that Paul added those docks in order to ease mass freight transit with the modification done to the jumpdrive)

Hello, just a quick questions to those that use Improved Race 2.0.

Do you turn on Incursion Response in IR when XRM already have build-in race response and border skirmish?

It seems Incursion Response is too powerful, it can spawn many M1 and M2 against a small fleet of enemies. I wonder if XRM Race Response works with Improved Race True Relation. I love to see other races fight against each other, but it is only fun if they also defend when attacked.

Thanks

I find with IR2.0 that if you do happen to use sector invasions then you need the added response fleets it provides. Otherwise you do tend to get far too many cases of sectors changing hands, this in turn causes some issues with the economy.

Hey, quick question. I'm using the following mods (http://puu.sh/aRR25/3d7b8986b1.png) and I find a rather peculiar and damning problem. I can't find a SETA to buy anywhere! Okay, maybe everywhere is an overstatement, but both Argon Prime (including equipment dock) and Home of Light dont sell any where I do recall them doing so when I played a long time ago without mods.

Anyone have an idea whats going on?

Edit: Forgot about this, I do get this mystery object: http://puu.sh/aRRrw/904322c078.png
Buying it detracts from the space in the freight bay and my credit reserve, but does not appear in the actual freight bay and does not enable SETA.
