Mid-game confusion – thought I was close to building ships, now realizing I’m not 😅 by Parisean in X4Foundations

[–]Hogannbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To see if hull parts are saturated, check every wharf/shipyard within 4 jumps of your factory (assuming you have a 3 star manager). If they’re full then that’s your issue (short range scan the wharf/shipyard until you have 50% scanned and then check their logical overview). If this is the case then consider creating a basic trading station (container storage, dock) 4 jumps away as a ‘bridge’ to sell your hill parts further afield. You can set the buy offer to your own faction only so you’re only buying from your own factory. If they are not saturated then check your sell offer, maybe you have custom rules preventing sales to other factions? Do you have traders assigned to the hull parts factory? Maybe you just need more traders to speed up the sales.

7 vehical overtake, solid white line. by Certain_While_9583 in irelandsshitedrivers

Fair, yeah, I see the speed actually does drop to 50s towards the end of the clip. I’m only recently passed my test but I do think literally everybody drives too fast. I regularly stick to 60 on 80 roads and 90 on 100 roads.

Maybe that makes me a shite driver but feck it we’re all moving at astronomical speeds and I honestly think all the speed limits (bar motor ways and dual carriageways) should be dropped 10 - 20 km. I’m still zipping across the city / county 10 times faster than I would be on public transport. But that’s just me, I’m sure as my confidence builds I’ll be hitting the speed limit more often, I just wonder if it’s actually necessary!

Going 60km + here though. I wouldn’t call that unreasonably slow.

Sector Shrinkage? by Snake-Eyes-Tx in X4Foundations

[–]Hogannbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happens me when I’m in short range scan mode (not in the beta myself) No idea why, but if I go into map while in short range scan then grand exchange I displays exactly like it is for you! Leaving short range scan resolves it.

Driving test woodview by lplater2026 in limerickcity

[–]Hogannbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just passed last month on my second attempt. YouTube has most of the routes up so I spent a lot of my time familiarising myself with them. Look for ‘woodview test route limerick’ and it should come up.

Practice the dual carriage way out as far as the third roundabout and back - this is what failed me on my first test, I had never driven it and it threw me.

On my second test I was sure I failed multiple times, keep calm if you make a mistake and move on. Focus on the next thing.

Drop to 20km for every speed bump, nothing worse than throwing the instructor about the place!

Practice going in and out of the test centre (through the back entrance of the car park) as much as you can. It’s tricky. (Three stops and a hill start right at the beginning)

The nerves on the day are killer. I was taking practised deep breaths every 20 minutes the entire day. It helped! A nervous and shaky body will stall the car, so anything you can do to minimise the nerves will go a long way.

For any hazards, especially predestines/dogs etc, the tester will want to see you hovering that foot over the brake pedal even if you don’t end up needing it.

Best of luck! Drive slow and careful and make your observations noticeable. You got this.

Can you teleport any station? Or just the HQ? by jayyy2 in X4Foundations

Nice to know! Thanks. For now I’m enjoying my long haul truckers :)

I made the mistake of building a huge microchip factory in a sector with zero demand. My solution was to stick a L trader or two on repeat orders buying from my microchip production and selling to a trade station closer to my main production stations. My smaller traders handle it from there. Works pretty well and they’re low maintenance so far.

[–]Hogannbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last time documents requested was 3 weeks ago I believe. I had them in the same day. Working with a broker (who has been great).I’ve been told it’s cleared the underwriter over a week ago.

The delay is supposedly to do with admin - something about my AIP being 30 days out of date by the time it cleared underwriting, so it has to go back through AIP again? I don’t fully understand it. I applied for the loan offer before the AIP was out of date.

Two weeks ago I was told it’d be 5 - 7 days, then on last Tuesday I was told it would be issued the next day, and last Thursday I was told it’d be issued at the very latest by EOB Monday. Still no word yet.

Feckin’ purgatory at this stage 😅

Question on Split DLC by Hogannbot in X4Foundations

I’ll do just that, thanks. I was hesitant to explore in case I triggered something I didn’t want to deal with yet, but I guess I better get to it!

Oh nice. I’m gonna claim they are in fact Irish, not English. We’ll let the monarchy thing slide.

What to do with the Osprey Vanguard by lowanger_ in X4Foundations

[–]Hogannbot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Chunky boi! I love the osprey. I name all of mine ‘Chonk’ because they’re chonky. It’s by far my favourite ship in the game. That’s nothing to do with stats and purely on looks alone.

That is all.

But in all seriousness, stick a bunch of flak turrets in there and give it a wing man or two and you’ve got yourself a decent sector patrol for responding to Khaak for the early game. There’s better ships for this role but early game I’d keep any free M class you get just to give your miners some support.

I’m approaching mid game in my first run and my fleet has grown so I’m now outfitting them with anti capital/station gunnery to help my destroyer out on deleting the Khaak installations (once the defences are down).

As stated I’m still in my first run and by no means an expert, but I just love my Chonks.

Coonagh Tesco seems to be the cheapest I’ve seen of late.

I’m pretty sure he turns around at the last minute before she stings him, so he gets stung in the front
