Yep, I'm still here.. tho still waiting enough spare cash to upgrade my GFX card so I can play more often

TVM for the notification!

the repair mechanics could change that repair drones cannot function while the ship is in combat, slowing in combat repairs significantly. This would also make boarding more user friendly since boarded ships will retain their repair drones without the player having to kill them to prevent ship repa...

Um, if we can own and police a sector, then we should be able to get the funds for the AI buying a plot. Absolutely agreed! The other factions may ignore this ofc (just as <player> can), but there should be minimal if any rep loss for your 'police' dealing with such infractions /while <player> owns...

If I select a ship, go to the right-side information panel, crew tab and comm the captain. Normally I do this to see if I can give them a seminar to improve skills. Whenever I finish the comm, I have lost the ship selection and have a different captain in the information panel. It is a bit frustrat...

Good idea, I presume it affects your missions taken/completed stat or how does that work? I have had taxi missions where there's an undefined (showing up as "a station") destination and therefore the mission is unwinnable. The "a station" mission destinations are deliberate: it means any relevant s...

IIRC this is purely visual: take off in your ship & <pilot> should still have their appropriate personal items (licenses etc). It's annoying, but not game-breaking

-What equipment do you give your traders? I find it kinda hard to know from which upgrades they profit at all, is e.g. a best selling software important? As has been said above, autonomous traders will now auto-upgrade as & when they feel it's necessary (& have the range/cash to do so at a suitable...

Question: How many times does it take to steal a blue print for a factory? I could really use the ability to make my own Chelt / Rastar Oil since the Split are my enemy. Lots: it depends upon your rep as well as your diplomat (spy)'s skill. Failed attempts will still increase the future success cha...

There was a (reported fixed here) problem with a sound file not being correctly copied/installed from (AP or TC, I forget which), but a) IIRC it was for Linux only & b) I can't see how it would impact weps fire in such a way. I'm puzzled..

There is no way to turn the ship back to NOT being a carrier anymore as far as I know. Can you not simply transfer the CCS module to another ship? 2. The fighters get released by the carrier, [...] They do not react to orders from the Carrier command group: "Recall local ships" and "Pick up managed...

I just checked three astronauts I had. The reward for delivering them is only around 19050 each. Different pilots have different 'drop-off' values, up to (ISTM) +10% of their hull's value upon ejection plus some bonus(es). The bonus may be from a high-skilled trade pilot (that you could recruit rat...

When i opened the hub there was a flock of hyperion vanguards entering the sector but i had no tech to cap one..

Not much use to you now, but in future you could open the HUD monitor(s) on potential target(s) to track their location for future opportunities..

yeah, but is there a chance at all? Or is it totally invincible no matter what you throw at it

No idea, sry; however on second thoughts PBEs /may/ do better than IREs due to their faster fire rate, tho their increased hull dmg (even tho minimal) should be watched carefully..

Hmm.. IMO the removal of the 'plex SM should have allowed you access to the individual (problem) station(s), hence allowing you to un-homebase that/those ship(s), but I haven't progressed so far as to be 'plex building yet.. so ultimately idk :( Were those individual stations still tagged as station...

I mean, I don't care about station models,I like both, but station before and after moving are completely different, even in parameters. The different station models referred to are to allow more or less connections/docks than the previous version, so fairly crucial if building 'plexes. The station...

What interests me most at Farham's Legacy are the plots. And to get through the second plot I need a destroyer.

Which gamestart are you playing; which part of the campaign do you define as "the second plot"& what ship class do you define as a 'destroyer''?

Remove the Station Manager from the complex and wait for a while - the ships with this complex will soon get "unmanaged" and you will regain full control of it.

Yes: I should have added "then wait until <ship> is docked>" to my post above

Hmm.. so the 'best' method might be a long slog with (eg) IRE fire (to cause lots of (minimal) hull dmg instances & hence random destruction of internals), yes?

I tried that, the beacon does move if you bump it slowly, [...] And also the beacon can be repaired with the suit laser. But still it would take ages to bump into a gate, so I'm just curious if it actually reaches it, would it go through? Nice idea, but I expect not.. for the same reason you can't ...

Try removing the SM then remove the traders' homebase, then reassign the SM followed (finally) by reassigning the ships to the 'plex?
