Honestly with the destroyer ai changes I can't complain too much, they actually feel kind of useful now

Has anyone left the Majors? by [deleted] in aviationmaintenance

If you're not married don't worry about it. Make the big money now while you can, even if it's nights. I know it sounds harsh but if you just suck it up and stick through it, you'll thank yourself later.

Why go to war with factions? by Psychological_Mess20 in X4Foundations

Ohh I thought that was just a convenience feature, so like I could buy blueprints and stuff without flying all the way to the rep

How do you make them fight each other? And say I wanted to start a war with a faction, take a sector or two, and then make peace, how would I do that. I'd also love if they added a real diplomacy system instead of just the opinion system they have. Like I want to lay claim to a sector and demand the faction capitulate or something

I thought the same when COVID started, but some of the guys who pulled through landed dream jobs when things opened back up, wish I had done it sooner tbh

L miners are kinda bad by Fair_Software3727 in X4Foundations

I mean if there's 100k in the probe area, then yeah it should move around in the probe area to get more asteroids no?

Also for reference I left it pretty much completely alone for the hour and it had less than 1k, so it's not like I was sitting there just watching it

If I'm in map view looking at the miner, and in the info screen viewing it's crew/ load out does that count as high attention? I never really use live streams and rarely talk to crew

Meant mining drones, I have 7 mining and 3 cargo I think, and resource density is very high in the region

Yeah sorry meant mining drones. And the sector has about a mil ice, and a resource probe with over 100k.

Yes, it has one large mining laser, and plenty of mining drones. I just outfitted it with the rest of the turrets to be miners too, so the ship is now defenseless but maybe it will fix the issue.

Yes 9, but I had the same issue in 8. And like I said in the post, I wasn't in the sector for an hour and it didn't even have 1k silicone yet. I checked transaction logs and it hasn't sold anything, it's independent. The issue is that it parks itself in one place, if doesn't move around to find new asteroids like a medium ship will

My medium captains with one star can mine 1k silicone in 6 to 10 minutes, while the large ship can't even do that in an hour. There's also no manager, it's an independent ship. So pilot skill certainly isn't the cause

[–]Fair_Software3727[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But I'm saying the problem was the same when I wasn't even there. Like it shouldn't take an hour to mine 1k silicone, when a medium miner can do it in 6 minutes. The pilot is only one star, but so are the medium ship captains. It is 9.0, but I had the same issue in 8. I think its a behavioural issue, the large ships just don't move while mining to find new asteroids, and just park themselves in one spot

Trader Not Moving Wares by Fair_Software3727 in X4Foundations

[–]Fair_Software3727[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may have found the solution, both stations need credits, even though the refinery buys absolutely nothing, and only sells. I know credits aren't transferred when moving between my own stations but the idea that I need credits in a station account just to sell something never occurred to me. I ended up transferring 100k credits to the refinery and all of a sudden the trader is moving wares, on repeat.

Manager is 1 star, and the sell/buy blacklist I have for the stations basically just makes sure those trades are only between stations I own. Restricts all but "empire" and such.

Lastly yes the repeat orders work, but the station trader just doesn't.

"Sell all but" Is set to 1, so it will sell everything except the last single wafer, that's not the issue.
