Re: Traders for the build module dont supply the station

Can't you set up which selection of wares can be supplied to the build storage, and doesn't it first have to generate trade offers for the assigned traders to service? Also it might need some funding specifically for construction before it can afford anything. Maybe if these are not all operating pr...

Re: What is Egosoft's vision for X5?

@ vincentus: It has certainly been mentioned, replied to by devs, and many players think the times are improved in recent versions. Example thread.. That said, one can assume that X5 would likely be superior in such respects.

Re: [HELP] Repeatedly losing Rep with MIN

Is it possible that your assets are attacking (or defending against) ZYA assets in the TEL sectors around Fires of Defeat? MIN police the TEL sectors and if neutral to ZYA may take exception to 'attacks' by you on ZYA in TEL space.

Re: Are there limits on how far a faction can expand?

In a vanilla X4 game a few years and versions ago, HOP took over nearly every central west Argon area sector including Argon Prime and the Black Hole ones (XEN attacks had assisted with this). I haven't had that with any restart since though. ZYA and TEL do seem inclined to do a bit of expansion if ...

Re: Own X4 Bonus DLC, Can't access content.

The devs were already informed about this using other methods. It's a matter of hoping that a dev can take some time out of their current beta/DLC workload to look into it. The main problem is that you say the issue persists with vanilla 6.20 and other players are not seeing that - which may imply t...

Re: Small suggestion Why can't weapons have a longer range?

I'm going to lock this one because it is a resurrection of a 5 year old thread and a lot has changed since then (including capital weapons that can be used for long range sniping). Feel free to start a new discussion thread about this though.

Re: Own X4 Bonus DLC, Can't access content.

That's a bit odd as I claimed my Yasur in vanilla 6.20 release. As I said above though, my bonus download was separate to the CoPCE download.

Re: Own X4 Bonus DLC, Can't access content - Explained.

As a basic check, in your logged-in Steam Library page, select X4, Select DLC, and does "X4: Community of Planets Collector's Edition - Bonus Content" have a blue "IN LIBRARY" sticker? Note the '- Bonus Content' bit in the specific DLC title as that is important. I bought and downloaded mine separat...

Re: The dirt on the windows of spaceships is a bug. - not a bug

It has been discussed before once or twice . There may be some capability for improvement in some of the graphic settings in-game or in graphics control panel, but I don't have any simple answers. I do try to avoid high sun emission/reflection sectors when/if I can to avoid squinting through the win...

Re: Please keep 7 BETA going

Heh, I'm struggling to follow the logic of wishing to extend something considered pointless. :?

Anyway, I'm glad that others feel differently about participation as there is value for all other players through the beta process.

Re: X-TRA POLLS Round #5 | What type of ship do you primarily use?

The poll doesn't really take account of combinations - I always have an S fighter (Chimera typically) parked in or on my command post Cobra and I switch to that as the game situation or roleplaying aspect demands. Similarly, a player who uses a Carrier as a command post could have lots of choice of ...

Re: Save File Corruption in Modified Games When Docked at Outposts

Hmm not really, since this forum is for issues with unmodified X3 games and those don't have the issue you are reporting. That mod certainly introduces non-vanilla Outposts. Egosoft will not be changing anything in their X3 games because of it. See how the report in the mod thread in S&M goes. Good ...

Re: Version 7.0 can't load my save, redirecting me to main menu

Do a game installation verify for your current version. Why do you say the main menu you are directed to is 'fake'? There may be something seriously wrong with that save because the upload you made says the file was last modified 01 Jan 1970, which is obviously incorrect. Is your PC date time shown ...

Re: Save File Corruption in Modified Games When Docked at Outposts

Thanks - although you disabled/removed the mods, are you quite sure that assets with the name irregularities were not left in the save you loaded - or did you do a fresh gamestart without the mods?

Re: Save File Corruption in Modified Games When Docked at Outposts

I'm no expert, but are you using any unusual characters or font/colour output in your asset or save naming convention - it may be that the game accepts them when input but a script cannot process them. Maybe employed mod no 7 on your list? Just a theory.
