Did some testing on a 100% clean vanilla X3AP install. Only has CODEA (and its library file) and cheat package running on it. It seems the "sitting at max range and firing at a reduced ROF" is the default behavior for CODEA fighters (doesn't matter the pilot's rank). Here you can see 10x Thor(with E...

@Brinnie Turns out for some reason, only the XRM added TL having problem using combat landing for its fighters. All other M7, M1 carriers don't have problem. Weird. I've been using CODEA on my M1 (an odin) for the past couple days now. What I've noticed with IS fighting, when attacking enemy, some f...

It seems I'm having some problem with fighter doing "combat landing". I have transporter device on the carrier (a TL with internal fighter docking port), and every fighter has docking computer. However, after deployment, the fighter still using manual docking instead of beam into the carrier when th...

Ok... I found what I did wrong... Turns out I somewhen set the hyperion2 (the cloned ship entry) into a TP class instead of M6. And since TP is hardcoded can't have docking, the game just brute force clip the fighter into the center of the model to dock. Now the docking behaves as expected after I c...

Hi there, I have documented everything you should need to know about dock objects here: https://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=94&t=424792&p=4932651#p4932651 Please let me know if there are additional questions about them. Wow, didn't know this exist. Thank you so much! edit: huh, turns out 1904...

So I have some question regarding the fighter docking port on the Hyperion. I cloned the hyperion into a new ship (pasted to the end) in the Tship file (let's call this Hyperion 2) with the X3 Editor 2. When I spawn the new ship in game, for whatever reason, when order a fighter(under auto pilot) to...

I encountered a transmission that put me in contact with a Boron who sent me on a scientific mission, but I got side tracked doing other things and don't know how to get back on track with the thread. Where do I find the details of the mission to get going on it again? I went into the "Missions" ta...

Not my first rodeo with egosoft and won't be the last. They pretty much is the only dev making this kind of games (space eco simulator). And I will fully support this niche game by any means. Already pre-ordered.

Ah, I was having problem opening the tfile with T editor (gives me error) because I didn't set the game path in the editor so I was using the T Debugger which doesn't have the checkbox. Problem solved. Thanks.

The last time I was modding my X3AP was 2 years ago. At that time I didn't have a good enough computer to handle the laggy beam effect that the khack loves to use, so I modded the beam into normal bullet like effect. Now that I got a 8086k setup, I wanted to get back into X3 before X4 comes out. And...

Missed the stream, watched the youtube video.

All in all I'm very impressed. I'd preorder it the moment it's on steam

Like Alan said, try disconnect any controller you have on your PC. Even if it's wireless (dualshock 4 with bluetooth receiver). Had the same problem until I unplug my dualshock 4 PC receiver.

I'd rather there's no ship interior like the old X3 series but has more pilot-able ships, than taking away the development time on making generic interior for different race's ship and different classes.

By the way, because I don't want to sort through my heavily modded game to get a clean installation to try the beta, what time frame can we expect the patch to hit public release?

Thank you.

If the patch is only aim to fix the troubled generic missions, then they can just make some changes to MD files that doesn't need a new exe.

@BigBANGtheory Good to hear. I'm pretty sure they know what I was talking about from constantly seeing that HW picture in your signature, lol. Anyway, another thing I hope they may address is the in-game progression. In the X3 era, you normally starts with a single weak ship. You start taking on mis...

One thing I think will make managing big fleets easier is to introduce "drag select" like in any RTS games, it can be used in either the normal FPS view, or the In-Sector top down view. And once you have your fleet/unit selected, you can mouse over any enemy and with a single click your selected uni...

Thank based egosoft finally officially fixed those generic mission performance degeneration. Now I can get back into my 5 days save and play AP until X4 comes out(inb4 another "is it released yet" thread) .

Great tool! Will try it.

btw, does it also package files that isn't related to the game? Because I have couple .txt under my modded TC folder that I made to remind myself what some files that I edited to. Will this also package those files as well?

Has anyone tried this with XRM? Is there anything special to consider if I do this with XRM's "3.01 Generic Missions.xml"? I'm on XRM, and I think only the 2.xx generic missions are causing this. I've disabled the normal escort and asteroid scanning (all start with 2.xx) and I haven't see any new L...
