Seeing the same. Even tried with EMP bombs but the leaks these create can just be decrypted but have no other effect. In my case it is the Escape mission corvette and a Peregrine in a Teladi trade guild mission. Quit last night and now went back into. No leak point had been spawned. Used Marine but ...

I let them roam for a while but then started building fleets of 10 Odysseus Sentinel with full Plasma load out and claimed space back and parked these at strategic gates to obliterate anything Xenon coming through. How tight you want to pull the noose is then your choice. Such a fleet can take down ...

Sorry to say but the problems you are experiencing are a symptom of a bad device behind the keyboard. Let me give you an example. When you set your L turrets to attack capital ships that means stations too ... they count as capital ships. And if you want your M turrets to attack both Fighters/Capit...

Such a kind of death would not work. Look at other games that have adopted this, e.g. Empyrion in the space game genre. You CAN pick that option to respawn nearby or at a med station or whatnot ... or you load a previous save. Presumably, most players will load a previous save and not deal with the ...

Very nice visuals and narration, mate. I am not so fond of the "yo mother" language but perhaps I am just too old for it. Other than that, great video.

They are really bad medicine if you get into a dog fight against a group of S sized ships. You basically then need to use the superior speed of the corvette to do hit and run on them. But for M and L size ships, they are great to shred them fast. Against an I they are no use. Well, good enough to de...

It is a great weapon for battles against larger ships (M/L) but not good against S class ships. If you hit a small ship, it is scrap metal very quickly but hitting it in the first place is difficult and the time taken exposes you to incoming fire. I always fit a corvette with them, usually Dragon or...

Useful for these enquiries to upload a save game. When you capture a ship in race space, you usually get marked down unless the race is at war with the race whose ship you are trying to acquire. When you hit pirates, make sure you scan them first so their true allegiance is shown and not that of a f...

Cobra is the only larger SPLIT ship (bar the carrier) that has any qualities as a non-player ship. The others have too little shielding and the AI does not inflict sufficient damage to make up for it. In regards to AI ships, Shields > weapons

Due to its six guns, the Dragon actually makes a quite good cap ship breaker.Prior to building myself a Rattlesnake, it would be my preferred ship against Xenon K as well as any pirate destroyers. For Xenon I, I would need special load out, as the Dragon on its own would not be able to break through...

The easiest way is to actually run some auto miners in their sectors. This will help the local economy a lot. If they are under constant attack, place a gate-blocking fleet to terminate all incoming enemies and you will see ZYA rebuild. You could also help out with build missions and resource delive...

It was introduced with 3.20, if I recall correctly. Makes for more variety in the look and feel of stations. Thanks for highlighting some tweaks.

From my experience, it makes a big difference which side the player is on and hence who you do missions with and sell goods to. Just comparing my last two games, the previous I was playing for ZYA and they pushed the Xenon far back. This time I am playing for FRF and ZYA is on the brink of being wip...

I call them babe and mate, which sometimes is a bit of a tough one when you are calling one person out in the crew of a large ship and suddenly you are surrounded by 70 people.

You are welcome.

Actually, I used this strategy first from a very selfish point of view: I wanted a highway sector for my shipyard and noticed Pious Mist II had defence stations popping up and vanishing all the time.

You can easily stop HOP by claiming sectors around the ring. If there is a heavily contested sector, drop an admin station in there. Should the owning faction's admin station fall and your's s next in queue, sector will go to you and you successfully stopped HOP expansion in that direction.

I haven't loaded the game but presume some of the following could be reasons. 1. Make sure you are not BUYING ore from third party, i.e. restrict buying to only your own ships. 2. Make sure to set energy purchase price to minimum and sale to max. If your solar power plant (assuming you have one or t...

Well, I claimed Pious Mist 2while PAR and HOP were fighting over it. They haven't stopped their battle and HOP and PAR are still building Defence Stations in it. So it isn't a white sector but both still show an interest.

Opening lockboxes with rattlesnake's main batteries shows dedication. A lot of dedication.

Using all 3 guns at the same time for extra style points!

You should return your Rattler to the dealer, they sold you one with a limp.
