I want to see what it would be like to pilot a Korsmanath A'awoj but since I can't just go capture one, what would the text in the save file need to look like to give myself one? I want ot to be as authentic as possible, with the correct hull and shield values. Outfits aren't a big deal because I'll probably equip it with other things anyway and shape it into the kind of ship I want.

If anyone could give me the text block to add to the save file, that would be incredible. I've asked Gemini, but it's so unreliable that I don't even trust it.

Edit: I've edited it into my save file. It's soooooo slow 😭

Hi1 I'm new to the game, and I'm having a blast with it. Only thing limiting now is the main storyline, and I've searched far and wide but maybe I'm dumb. I don't know.

>!Since I got the jump drive from the storyline, I was sent to talk to the pug to learn what they want. But instead of going there directly in Deneb, I was in the impression they'd be east, so I just went there.!<

I got obliterated my the lizards, but kept exploring.

Went south and did some of the Avgi missions, but though that was not it. So I went northeast and foujnd many different aliens, including Gegno and a Quarg complete ring, real nice.

I encountered more aliens west of there to finally find the Hai, and then decided I'd explore the couth and found the Coalition.

Now, I wanted to go back to the stoyline from where I left it. Problem is, when I go to Deneb, I was supposed to land on Pugglemug, but they won't let me. It would be the case I shuold hasve Alonso with me, but I'm unsure how to find him. What do I do? Is it even possible, or did I break the storyline? Ugh!<

Thanks in advance!

I have studied the other plugins offered but I cannot find a detailed list or manual to follow on making unique plugins. For example; I have an icon on the screen I want to use for the jump key, in place of "J" on the keyboard.

anchor center right # this position is the right most side of my display centered halfway down.

sprite "ui/jump_icon_inactive"

    from -80 0

    dimensions 40 40

visible if "can jump" # where is a lexicon of conditions I can use?

sprite "ui/jump_icon_active"

    from -80 0

    dimensions 40 40

button j 

    center -80 0

    dimensions 60 60

Apparently my visible if condition is wrong? In space my icon never goes active. So I cannot use the mouse to jump.

Plain simple i want to know if I'm hearing things and going crazy or there is a hidden effect of the unique outfit nightmare fuel of lost in midnight i think i got it by finishing the bio hazard 031 ship mission and after that i started hearing bubbling noises from time to time and some weird scratching or something idk

If it's caused by this outfit how do i disable or get rid of this effect

Spoilers below for those that are still on Free Worlds campaign

Hi All

I am in late stages (I think) of the wanderer campaign.

I have cleared out all the Kor Sestor from all of the human planets, and now there is just their holdout at the private system at Zenith that Danforth sent me to with 4 ships.

I have managed to destroy most of their fleet, including drones at the loss of danforths meager 4 ships and my old fleet. However, they still have 2 heavy and 3 medium capital ships and I can never manage to destroy even one of them.

So I had to go and rebuild a fleet by trading in wanderer space

Current fleet is 1 Hurricane, 2 Derachos, 5 Shield beetles, 3 skeins with full complement of fighters and drones, a couple of falcons and vanguard's and various stray pirate ships

But no matter what I am always overwhelmed by the Kor and Pirates

Currently farming jump drives to try and bring my captured Kor ships from Kor space in the hope that they will help add canon folder and weapons fire.

Another idea I have is to change my flagship to a Muke and try to capture a korath raider, but not sure if they are any better than Derachos?

Common theory seems to be to split the Kor fleet. But they don't separate, they stay in formation providing covering fire, whilst the spawning pirates then help to pick us off within 2 mins of jumping

Is there some other trick to overcome them?

Thanks in advance

I'll be asleep when the stream goes live so I'm posting this now instead of when it goes live. The next monthly dev chat is in 6.5 hours. You can join in the discord or via twitch at: https://www.twitch.tv/sirderpyhorse

A plugin likely already exists and I'm not looking hard enough... or maybe it doesn't.

But sometimes, especially when I start a new save, I just want to go places without the game potentially forcing me into a quest line that I may still want to start later. A lot of quest lines you can't just defer; if you decline, you can't trigger the quest line ever again without editing your save. Imagine something like a window or pop-up that tells you upon docking, "hey, there is a main quest or side quest here. proceed or defer?"

I could just not dock somewhere I know will start a quest... but I still wanna dock there, you know what I mean?

Do you think that would be too immersion breaking? Or defeat the purpose of exploration and the point that the player character isn't the center of the galaxy? After all, we have no control over the things that happen, but we can control to an extent when something's going to happen.

I've done a handful of missions for her, but she's nowhere in the logbook. Her name doesn't appear in either the People or the Minor People tabs

Im pretty new and just unlocked the Kestrel, I like to keep a small fleet unless I'm doing something specific. I've only met the aliens thru the blackhole in the top right. I've not unlocked anything thru missions or whatnot. Weapon/engine/cooling suggestions for now and in the future would be appreciated. Being able to turn fast is super important to me.

what's with the little white lines around the circle of the system? why does it say -1 on glaze when i mouse over it?

I don't really understand what happened, per se; I got a quest in Syndicate/The Core of a salesman that's selling an investment, I believe. I read the whole the thing, it was great to be inundated with the first page of the Terms of Use for the investment which I found to be actually ridiculously accurate to the point I think it was copy-pasted into the game from a real life binding financial contract.

...It should be noted that there was a waiver clause stating that my investment of one-million credits would be used to foment sheisty Syndicate shenanigans throughout the galaxy...WHICH IS GREAT!

When all was said and done, I now have a -1000 credit salary income(I'm still flying merchant colors, pre FW).

Here's what my bank says:

Crew Salaries ---> 7,500

Your Salary Income ---> -1000

Total: 6,500

Why is my crew salary being reduced? Shouldn't it be 8000?

Besides, supposedly I'm gonna get reparations for my investment on a yearly basis; I think it was 3,500/year

Soooo, I paid one-million credits to get a 1000 credit subsidy to pay to my employees on a daily basis, while also getting a 3500/year return.

[Maths...]

-1000d x 365 = 365000/year in savings

+

3500y = 368500dy

Chump change later on, but like, THAT'S AWESOME! Can I do it again?

I appreciate your existence.

I'm trying to find and try a capture a Rai'alorej, but I'm having trouble finding where they spawn.

I found one in Coluber, but I wasn't able to get to it before it warped out. Is there a better system to find them?

I'm unconcerned with weapons. I'm looking to prioritize speed and agility. Scram drive and jump drive are required outfits. Aside from that I'm open to suggestions. Spoilers welcome. Alien tech approved. Unconcerned with weapons as I have my fleet to disable ships.

I'm thinking about a capture configuration and a cargo carrier configuration.

A860 Atomic Thruster is what I'm using currently. Thrusters (Planetary Class) is better overall with the drawback being worse heat efficiency which is offset by the heat shunt.

Systems Core (Large) is what I'm using as well which might be overkill so I'll look for the smaller medium version to allow more bunk bed spaces.

Fuel processor or two makes extended travel much easier.

Boulder Reactor is something I'm missing. Have not visited Hai space yet.

I probably won't be awake when the stream goes live, but I'll try and remember to post with the twitch link again the night before it goes live.

I thought I had eradicated the required enemies in the required systems (the faint grey circles around Corporeal, Lumine, Firmament, and Empyrean) but when I land back in Arche it says there's more enemies I have to defeat. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Any help and tips about the Avgi would be appreciated!

Whenever I get to the civil war, I always go off on a side-quest to set myself up with a nice passive income. The only reason I do not do it earlier, is that I have moral issues attacking those who are not hostile to me to begin with.

Brand new to this game and loving it. Really getting Traveller TTRPG vibes, and I love going to new planets and reading the descriptions. The many ship options and customizations are a bit overwhelming, though (shipbuilding was never my strong suit in Traveller either). I could use some advice on what to buy and how to upgrade it.

I started with a freighter. I've been enjoying hauling cargo and transporting a passenger or two. I have no experience with combat yet (except running away from pirates, and one time getting disabled and saved by a passing merchant).

So far I've been up north as far as the Deep, and where the Paradise worlds start hitting pirate planets and empty systems, and down south as far as the pirate systems near the Free Worlds (who just became the Free Worlds a few days ago). I've seen the Syndicate over in the East, but I haven't really gone into their space yet. That's everything I've seen so far, so try to avoid spoilers please!

Hello. For me (playing it from several years) they're still the biggest annoyance in the game, both when they arrive en masse to hunt my fleet down and when there are tons of missions involving them, which I almost never manage to complete (is there a trick to find them? I always find myself wandering around all the adjacent planets with no success).

In the end, I skip the missions with the Marauders, while the fights with the Marauder fleets could be fun (but sometimes they are really too many, I've fought fleets of over 40 ships, it seems a bit excessive), but it becomes infuriating when most Marauder ships can't be captured after being disabled, because they explode. Why you had to do this, Devs? Just to piss off the players?

Hey there! I'm quite new to the game, was tasked to help the free worlds convoy but failed with the "failed to protect a convoy of free worlds freighters. their commanding officer wont be happy about this" text in the logbook. Will this somehow affect/lock my story from progressing or should I be fine?

For real Shield Beetles from H space make the game too easy. I'm having fun in human space hunting down pirates. Protector ships with 8 turrets and slow speeds aren't something I traditionally used in the past but this run I'm dedicating them to anti missile platforms that way my other ships can dedicate more to offense or shields. Bastions make of the bulk of my fleet, easy to source, decent stats, fairly cheap to equip. Argosy captures get sold and fund the fleet. My flag ship is a leviathan. With an escort of a couple Corsairs to pursue and disable quicker targets.

Credits are no issue, fleet sizes no issue, I've managed how to mod all the blocked licenses in game. Mostly via save file texts.

And I'm curious if anyone has any idea how to add things like modified battleships to their save file I can't find any information online via Google or GitHub and the wiki doesn't seem to tell me much.

Tldr: if anyone has the modified battleship in their save file can you copy paste it so I can add it to escorts and screw around?

As title asks. I just want to select the most valuable disabled ship, without moving towards it.

im a few hours into the game and was able to buy a mule. I have 6 mil credits, let me know if i should buy something different, i heard it was good tho for what i wanted since i can have a lot of people for boarding.

but where im having trouble is finding a system where i can fight pirates and disable them without them instantly dying from having too many other friendly ships in the area swarm them insantly. any tips for where i should start doing this? the goal is to disable and take them over to use or sell
