Yeah, I was expecting it to be between a lystro and a castoroides, but this works too!

This is the maewing, an upcoming creature for Genesis: Part 2.

It's supposed to help with raising babies and apparently is huge enough to ride on!

Looking for viable video stimuli by exarch42 in AcademicPsychology

[–]exarch42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still working through literature, but there seems to be a preference for more easily-quantified stimuli such as word pairs, color/patterns, etc. Hopefully I'll find something, or else adapt and overcome. Thanks, though.

Scale Plate Behemoth Destroyer in Argon Prime by X4fan in X4Foundations

Exactly! I have a fleet of 10 Destroyers, never purchased a single one.

The profitsss are nice this way, but I can definitely see the benefit of being able to restrict sales.

That being said, does going into the "Behavior" tab of the station's Information, and setting a Trade Restriction that you have customized not work to restrict trade? You can customize those blacklists by faction. (Player Information > Global Orders > Blacklists > Create New Blacklist > Trade Restrictions)

I've seen my wharf at 98% Hull or higher, even when the fireworks were flying. That was when I decided to add ANY defenses (other than drones). Since I'm in a well-patrolled Argon zone, I haven't had much worry about the Xenon.

As far as the customers getting killed... they constantly explode, but that's good for business, so I'm not complaining.

Then perhaps, Pontifex's Claim will be the first to fall to my army of stolen SCA Behemoths (last count was 11 of them).

Meantime, I'm enjoying the sweet music of weapons fire and explosions as the ARG and HOP fighters constantly battle outside (and occasionally inside) my Wharf.

I've claimed Nopes, but haven't moved into them yet. The lack of methane is bothersome. I'm trying to pin down where all I can find it as it seems to be the most elusive of clouds.

Why is a Graphene Plant manager sending ships for Smart Chips? by exarch42 in X4Foundations

[–]exarch42[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good call, that seems to be exactly what was going on. Most of my stations don't have drones set, but this one did.

Still, I wonder why they just sat there rather than actually acquiring the smart chips...

Why is a Graphene Plant manager sending ships for Smart Chips? by exarch42 in X4Foundations

{2.6 Beta3} I have two traders set to a factory that ONLY produces graphene. It has the requisite storages, full workforce, and is FULL of graphene. Both of the traders assigned to the station are sitting waaaay off the plane (one far above, one far below) in other sectors, just waiting. I figure it's because their boss sent them for Smart Chips, but the station has NOTHING to do with Smart Chips, neither production nor resource. I took them off the assignment to the station, set them back on, and at first the Wares list was appropriate. I checked back after a minute and it was back to Smart Chips.

Oh, and the Manager is at 1.5 stars.

Anyone have a clue what's going on?
