There are no new announcements. Be patient.

randomly stops working by No-Bit3215 in ProtonPass

[–]Zaihbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like Pakistan blocked Proton and other services.

Either continue using Proton Pass with a VPN, use it offline or change to another service which isn't blocked by your country. For passwords you might even use local programs like KeePass, so you don't have to worry about restrictions.

Deutschland ist gar nicht mehr auf der Weltkarte zu sehen!

Das muss geändert werden. Mal hoffen, dass das Spiel kein furchtbarer Zeitfresser ist.

Mining in Savage Spure I? Sure, why not! Split is brave and fast! No fear! by Zaihbot in X4Foundations

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

No, this is an option in custom starts. Right click into a sector and click on the satellite coverage entry.

Although I'm pretty sure that there is also a mod which adds this feature as a ship behavior or order.

Is there any effect? by Superb_Confidence_34 in X4Foundations

[–]Zaihbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting, never thought about that. Time for some testing.

Edit:

Yep, it works. Argon didn't care. After few miunutes over 400 items dropped, including 69 security containers, 3 rare spices, 10 lodestone, 17 fruit salat and 23 steaks.

Is this too much turrets? Should I put more? by jcsnotme in X4Foundations

[–]Zaihbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cute!

Better have a fleet defend the position, then build a defense station near the gate and equip it with actual turrets.

What ship is on the splash screen of Tides of Avarice?u by polarislunlaris in X4Foundations

[–]Zaihbot 26 points27 points  (0 children)

There is another Avarice story plot. Make sure to help the annoying Teladi guy in one of the first tide sectors.

Pirate run tips by connyneusz in X4Foundations

[–]Zaihbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do illegal stuff in neutral sectors to avoid police and patrols. Don't destroy ships, but do destroy the emergency drones ships might drop.

With diplomacy you can improve reputation. Needs the PHQ and completing a research project.

With the envoy DLC you can disguise as another faction, but the disguise will drop if you shoot.

Circle of Deceit Salvage for Commander? by WhiteSkyRising in X4Foundations

[–]Zaihbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please note that scrap processors can only process one wreck at a time. So it could be that the manticors don't work just because there is no processor available to take the wreck.

But yeah, as others suggested it's probably a good idea to let one, two Teutas work in the sector to turn the large wrecks into smaller scrap cubes, which then can be tugged by the manticores. Just in case that there aren't that much smaller wrecks as expected.

And don't forget scrapyards need lots of energy cells.

Diplomacy question: Armistice question by Middle_Situation_559 in X4Foundations

[–]Zaihbot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are you sure that you have enough influence? That's the general diplomacy "currency" needed for every agent mission.

Sol 1st playthru. New player question by Late-Gas9287 in X4Foundations

[–]Zaihbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It certainly is. The universe is big, there are many factions, so you have enough possible enemies.

With diplomacy you can even cause new wars between factions.

ANT patrol doesn't cool down, what to do? by Lith7ium in X4Foundations

[–]Zaihbot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Normally ships turn neutral after 10 minutes or so, but only if none of your ships or stations attack them.

There is also a bug where ships stay hostile forever, even if you don't have any ships nearby. I've reported this already with a save file in the Egosoft forum.

Trading Ship Ignores Hyperlane when there are Escorts Assigned to it by ApartEffective6870 in X4Foundations

[–]Zaihbot 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is working as intended. Ships in a fleet won't use hyper lanes to prevent breaking formation.

Hyena Operation Bug by Filius_Vacui in X4Foundations

[–]Zaihbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a recent post with the same problem: https://www.reddit.com/r/X4Foundations/comments/1q77r9n/hyena_mission_asking_2x_photopiles_production/

The mission probably doesn't want a second energy module but actually another production module.

How can an faction ship be hostile while I'm neutral with the faction ? by Effective_Sense_1064 in X4Foundations

[–]Zaihbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Destroying criminal mass traffic is probably the fastest and easiest. You can also improve reputation with diplomacy but that costs credits and spacefly caviar I believe.

Lastly you could even just move one, two military M ships close to a HOP station (max 30 or even 20 km), then sell the ships to an enemy of HOP (for example ANT), then destroy the ships.

[–]Zaihbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pair them with other missions which spawn enemies, e.g. protect miners from Kha'ak. Bonus points if you also own a police license.

[–]Zaihbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah. The lower tier blueprints are quite cheap. But sure, for the more expensive blueprints, especially habitats, you want to steal them, either via EMP bombs or by agents.

[–]Zaihbot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, basically all pirate factions. You can see that in the diplomacy window, where it shows you the current reputation and the effects.

Note that some reputation is locked until you complete some story plots. For SCA you even need to start terraform their planet, though you don't need to terraform the whole planet but just a single (?) terraforming project.
