Did you install extended hulls? I take hull damage from time to time as an OTAS Operative against Pirates and tbh a quick tickle with the repair laser from outside the ship and I'm good to go.

Hey Paul have you decided what to do with Expnobody M1+?
I'm suprise by myself, but if the only option would be to replace Cadius Saitama/Solaris, then I think I'd rather want Cadius ship coz it fit new Nagoya. And because we have more or less lack space for more USC M1 (exept maybe M0) then this one might be out of luck.

I'm pretty sure that's it. I played XRM for about 1.5 hours last night and did not see any invalid stations.

Research station maybe? Do you have CAT/DAT of bounce installed? I had same problem with it being installed, bounce doesn't need cat/dat to work, only to create wall file.

If you look better you'll see pods flying to mammoth and back constantly ;)

Repair works better then in vanilla. And smaller ships are repaired in no time. For later, you have maintenance pod from OTAS. Works like a charm.

How do Ion Pulse Generators work in XRM? Same as vanilla or what?

IBL can be bought from teladi w. dealers. It's not exclusive, nor powerful as in vanilla. Just another gun. And only teladi and pirates can mount it.

IPG works fine, you mean some effect gun supposedly have? Didn't notice any but that doesn't mean it's not there, probably just not so important.

incarnyte wrote:Trying to find the Centaur Prototype is the showroom always in "Unknown" sectors and do these always border argon sectors?
Thanks in advance

They do not. Can be anywhere. Btw Skiron in vanilla was better choice then HCP. CIGs are somewhat meh. I would go with split or boron M6+, they have better weaponry.

IPGs lower the target's max speed on impact.

A Boron Privateer was hassling me with one earlier.

I like Cadius M1+ myself, so the only option left is if Paul wants to replace the Kyoto with Expnobodys design, and then balance it as a Bragi style dreadnought command ship rather than full fat M0, as IMO the game does not need any more, the Valhalla should be the only true M0 in the game!

As for the Titan's being attached to marine training bases, it kind of make sense that you would practice boarding on another races destroyer rather than your own, as they are the ones you will be trying to capture, so really it's the Argons who are the odd ones out, and really need say a Paranid oddy hull attached to their training basis!

My Cat/Dat files are
(01, 02 AP),
03- XRM
04- Patch for XRM
05- Docking Ware fix
06- Cockpit mod.

Then I have XRM_HULLMID dat and cat unrenamed as a ;patch number because I wasn't sure how to install them -.-;;

No bounce. Remember I specifically asked how to install them.

ey i got a strange one but in a good way. Im hero of sol already so i do not have any issues with atf or usc (goner start) its always just displayed my USC rank in player stats but then suddenly when i was destroying xenon it poped up and gave me asteroid belt access (ATF Rank) for destroying a xenon station lol it gradually increased again when i destroyed another xenon station. it has no effect on the actual atf relations ingame but it may be of interest to people looking to raise their rep, althouug i got like 10% rep rise for destrying 1 station lol thats alot of xenon stations to destroy! lol

edit ....

also evasive action anyone??? lol

I'm working up my boron rep for a heavy hydra. I like how you described it deca.death

Rather belatedly:

KloHunt3r wrote:I was trying to point out that users could simply do it on their end so you guys don't have to keep updating two versions of the jobs file.

I knew what you meant, don't worry.

I was quoting you in support, rather than in rebuttal. It just doesn't always look like that without 100% clear context sometimes.

I do wish people would keep in mind that other people have been playing XRM for a long time already and might like the stuff that you're directly asking Paul to remove because you don't like it for trivial reasons.

And, again, on that note: bypassing the opinions of other forum users and addressing your post to Paul directly is not going to make him listen to you exclusively because the brilliance of your idea demonstrates how blind we've all really been.

Saying the word "Paul" does not act as the Konami Code of the XRM thread, is what I'm saying. Respect the Old Guard a little, Greenhorns.

Ramblerambleramble.

I want to keep the vanilla Kyoto in as I kind of like it. Bragi is an M2+, so USC already have one in the Nagoya.

There is one other alternative, and it depends on the size of the ship - convert it into a light destroyer to replace the duplicate Tobosaku. I've not actually looked at the model yet, so we'll see...

Hell, I'd pay 9 million credits or whatever to get a station friendly if it stayed that way! Fine! But try that with a laser tower lol

Edit: OK what are you trying to do to me here AP? Three Paranid sectors in a row and they all had one thing and (if present) one laser tower go hostile to me. OTAS Operative start.. 454 rep, Friend of the Priest Duke. I'M COOL GUYS. I'm SORRY I accidentally SHOT one of your stupid TRANSPORTS at the beginning of the GAME because it was RED flying an off race SHIP and I thought it was a SMUGGLER.

Try using the "fix sector relations" option from the cheat scripts.

This has been an issue with X3 all the way back to Reunion. Its just one of those things. No matter what you do some ships will never turn friendly - even after using the "fix sector relations" option in the cheat scripts.

You could always cheat destroy them. When they respawn the rep will be fixed.

Probe1 · Post by **Probe1** » Mon, 30. Jan 12, 09:42

Didn't really want to screw with the economy by deleting stations but you know what you're talking about. I'll do that. Although it was fun giving all those laser towers to goners.

edit lol oh god i found a khaak corvette but one of my LTs is being attacked by a single M5. What to do what to doo what to do i'll never remember these coordinates!

paulwheeler · Post by **paulwheeler** » Mon, 30. Jan 12, 09:46

You'd need to remove quite a few stations of the same type to really damage the economy. One or two will make no difference.

Oh god lol that is genius. I do that for ease of selecting TLs or important ships that I own; nice. Very niiice.

Btw whoever did the planet texture mods- you did a great job. Something that actually kinda screws up the game for me is seeing the same exact planet texture from Teladi space in Xenon 534. And again in a dozen different sectors. The variations are great.

Couldn't sleep decided to explore until I felt tired. Found Scionfire. The last words in the description are, "It has since fallen into anarchy". When I entered the sector for the first time I found a three way fight between a dozen M3+ pirates, A Boron Ray-Shark couple and the contingent wing that rides in the shark. Awesome. MBRR is so cool. Wait I said it was a three way. Oh yeah the Khaak showed up and all 3 parties proceeded to beat on each other at once with 10 or more ships each in the center of the sector within 10 kilometers of each other.

Awesome. I agree with that sector description wholeheartedly.

oh my god I'm so spoiled by the new nagoya that I just don't want to resume my current play

can the update uploaded in the middle of this week or something very soon?

also need help in integrating MBRR, Pirate Guild 3 and Yaki Armada 2... is there any certain thing to do? dougeye for example said to me in PM that he had to overwrite things from XRM after installing these 3

anyone can make this clearer?

more new ships + more wars & chaos + XRM = best X3 experience

Add them to last/highest number. Unnamed /not added in described manner means not installed. When you see all ships in game on half hull health, you got it right. Then open script editor and run "temp.reload.all.hulls" script.

Wasn't that effect in only, like, until you press on accel. button again? ;)

Neat way of keeping eye of things. I use pack of "bloodhound" M5s in my griffon for same purposes :) Like to have my monitors clean :)

For what game? For XRM.TC 1.16 is already posted, on end of thread.
