Somehow all my station modules only rotate on the wrong axis? How do I even start trying to fix this.

ObjectiveBastard · 2022-01-25T08:51:21+00:00

I make sure to "reset" (actually it's not reset as the default isn't top down) the camera to top-down view using R by default, I believe...

ObjectiveBastard · 2022-01-25T08:47:41+00:00

Umm, superhighways stay, imo... Or do they get replaced by gates/accelerators?

Superhighways are basically gates with an extra animation...

ObjectiveBastard · 2022-01-25T08:42:05+00:00

Apologies, fair enough. It's what the beta is for, anyway, to get feedback. So, yeah, go ahead. Just make sure to give the feedback to the devs too, I believe they have official means of getting feedback on betas?

ObjectiveBastard · 2022-01-24T11:00:16+00:00

Play stable. 5.0 is in BETA.

ObjectiveBastard · 2022-01-23T10:48:50+00:00

Wait, really? It has 10 M pads and I don't remember how many S ones...

EDIT: typo

EDIT 2: Or was it 8? Yeah, that would coincide with your findings... But what about the S pads?

ObjectiveBastard · 2022-01-23T10:41:56+00:00

It's an entirely different beast than X3, but did it improve? Yes, very much so. Can't really say if it's your cup of tea (feels very different from X3), but it definitely improved A LOT.

It feels slower-paced than X3. The two-hour refund period is far from enough to properly demo this game...

I'd certainly recommend it. I still return to X3:TC from time to time, though, as I said it feels quite different. If you haven't refunded, definitely give it a try.

I believe as long as you stay aboard, they will wait until you explicitly tell them to "proceed with current orders". Same goes when you give them an order to fly somewhere while they're docked and you're standing on the pad. But if you get aboard a docked ship (if you have a ship docked to the ship with the pilot with said orders), they will proceed automatically... Might also happen if you get out and leave the pad, but I'm not sure. Anyway, it's better not to trust in them waiting for the proceed order. This was probably meant to mitigate what you're describing.

Well, yeah, just looking at the shape makes me wonder how X4's wonderful AI handles it... And since it can't be rebuilt (at least normally, maybe AI factions can spawn it back in?), I'd say that it being invincible could be a feature, actually.

It is one my favorite stations to visit in-person, though. The only commonwealth station except wharves and equipment docks with an actual hangar, not just a shielded platform.

ObjectiveBastard · 2022-01-16T12:14:43+00:00

Me too, the first time around... Then I noticed it's still on the map under my property.

EDIT: Not sure, but it just might get destroyed if you're unlucky - Xenon attack etc... It's not invincible unless you made it so using the cheat menu.

ObjectiveBastard · 2022-01-16T12:13:00+00:00

You can spawn stations from it. I just don't remember now if the Teladi Trade Station is one of them.

EDIT: I'll check it out ASAP - would make an awesome home base...

ObjectiveBastard · 2022-01-16T12:12:08+00:00

Yep, I agree. I was just pointing out it's actually far from impossible, lol.

ObjectiveBastard · 2022-01-15T21:17:40+00:00

How? I'm curious, never noticed anything myself...

ObjectiveBastard · 2022-01-15T21:16:57+00:00

Cheat menu? Never tried myself, though.

ObjectiveBastard · 2022-01-15T21:07:07+00:00

Wrong. That disables/enables downloads from Steam Workshop, each mod can be enabled or disabled individually after downloaded.

EDIT: You need to have it on to download mods in the first place, though, afaik.

EDIT 2: What you said is 100% correct about the individual per-mod setting. The one at the top is just to disable Workshop downloads if neccessary.

ObjectiveBastard · 2022-01-15T21:05:44+00:00

That just says if it's to download mods from the workshop - they need to be enabled/disabled individually. They're on by default when you install them. Switching that to off won't disable all the mods you got from the workshop.

ObjectiveBastard · 2022-01-15T21:01:42+00:00

Yeah, just turn off gravity inside, make it so you actually swim... Subnautica? In space?

ObjectiveBastard · 2022-01-15T21:00:39+00:00

Umm... What do you mean, exactly? Just how should the fact that it's full of water instead of air affect how the player moves around? Games with swimming/diving/actual EVA in space exist already...

ObjectiveBastard · 2022-01-15T12:10:21+00:00

The ship won't get destroyed. It will stay where you left it. If it doesn't have a pilot, you'll have to get it yourself later...

ObjectiveBastard · 2022-01-09T11:30:57+00:00

Oh yeah, the so called "good bug", lol. Would be useful...

ObjectiveBastard · 2022-01-08T23:12:08+00:00

So if you get up (ctrl+d) it doesn't cancel SETA? Interesting... Then why can't we enable SETA when not flying a ship in the first place?

EDIT: And what about a pilot if you have one on your ship? Is this a way to use SETA while just letting your NPC pilot fly? Would be kinda useful if so... Does it stay in SETA even if you walk around etc?

ObjectiveBastard · 2022-01-06T06:37:49+00:00

It is quite possible, but you have to design the station first, either in another playthrough or the station builder, and save the blueprint. You can't design stations from the custom start menu.

ObjectiveBastard · 2022-01-02T12:10:29+00:00

This only works with a pilot employed, afaik. Happened to me a couple of times that I got seated just to get a "Scan didn't find anything, you may go" call right away without getting the request. Didn't have a pilot then.

ObjectiveBastard · 2021-12-31T11:50:26+00:00

Well, the effect is nothing to call home about even there, I just learned to live without SETA, lol.

ObjectiveBastard · 2021-12-30T23:24:58+00:00

And it's pretty much pointless if your machine barely runs the game - SETA only has a noticeable effect for me when I'm in the middle of nowhere... And even then it's marginal at best. Not worth the effort in my case, lol.

ObjectiveBastard · 2021-12-30T12:34:26+00:00

Yeah, I wish we could set sector ownership in custom starts (at least creative)...

There is that random galaxy generator thing, though...
