what happened to hiring NPC's to look after ships/trades ?

http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=318605&highlight= The guppy can only dock a single TS. The Ariadne is the other M7 that can dock a TS. and could carry 24 jump drives for you :P but doesn't have the cargo bay of the guppy, but is a tad more combat effective. I have a guppy follow me around o...

im finding a turbo booster is a must - since 1GJ doesnt hold up to PBG's for very long its handy to be able to get the hell outa there...

The New Guppy has an external docking port, and can dock a single TS or TP class vessel. inc XL superfreighters. no M8's or M6's though. handy feature, reminds me of the days when we piggybacked an m5 under our m6's in X2 :) I intend to use the guppy as my 'patrolling pirate sectors collecting baile...

within an hour of patching i had a xenon fleet that included an I, the first ive seen in the wild, start laying waste to menaleus's paradise, attempted to board with my cobra - but my marines not quite trained up to where they needed to be...

in addition, whilst sampling all the new ships, i am unable to purchase the terran pocket carrier, betty says 'no docking space available for new ship'

there are no other ships docked at the shipyard. this is at Saturn...

hmmmn.

the 4 new mini carriers in the 2.0 patch seem to have significantly lower shields than the griffon/panther on which they are based/compared... griffon carries 4GJ, all the new ships have 1GJ or less.... do we think this is an oversight? i find it a little strange that any ship costing 15+ million wo...

Does this work with AP in all respects please? :) I'm looking at the latest TC version :) It does, but it doesn't appear to work with all versions of IE (at least the ones I'm using seem to have a problem assigning 'roid values for mines, and not producing the usage/produce calculations at the bott...

a neat trick, however, whats a mogul to do if he doesnt have docking rights at the ATF stations... ?

im on awesome terms with the terrans having started as mortal enemies, but the ATF still hate my guts and attack me on sight. dont suppose the ATF own any sectors ?

sweet, atleast they're in the game.

ive not seen any NPC's using them though ?

I've heared that each race now has its own mega TS, like the mistral superfreighter ? do they have new model or are they just new versions of the original TS's ?

do we have a new ship list ?

A Quick question - what are the prerequisites for this plot ? ive currently completed terran/goner/treasure hunt and the mission is currently unavailable in asteroid belt....

yikes i knew i was a little lazy when it came to updating windows but i never realise di was so far behind

an evening with windows update installing various things, including SP1, has returned the games playability

guess i should have done all that first really...

ive been having this problem for a while, during 2.0 and still about in 2.1. i can load a save game, with all graphical settings cranked, all bells and whistles turned on, and the game runs buttery smooth... however, should i wish to jump to another sector (even near empty ones), the game drops to u...

manual trade run to EQ dock broken in 2.1 ? in 2.0 i have a complex set up to produce a few missiles/lasers... and use manual trade run on repeat to sell them at local EQ docks that dont normally stock them (a slight exploit i know...) in 2.1 ive just tried to set up a similar senario where i use ma...

ive just added a large stott mixery to the pile (got 5 medium plankton farms in there) so the income from that is tiding me over, at least untill the cahoona bakery's are full again...

cant get my head round the jump range issue though... dont really want to venture into addon scripts...

ive setup a complex in herrons nebula, mass producing plankton and scruffin fruits to feed the local cattle ranches... however ive now saturated the local market and selling near max price is becoming hard, all food in argon space isnt moving anywhere... so since i had my TS ships setup with jump dr...

(this problem doesn't seam to occur on a 64bit machine). may have to shoot you down there... im experiencing this exact same (game destroying) problem, only im on vista 64, with 8gigs of RAM and an 8800gtx with graphics pumped it runs buttery when first loaded, but as soon as i jump to another sect...

too slow and weakly shielded to be of any use against larger opponents.
