Improved colour differentiation between racial Construction Vessel ships

About time they tried to make em not copy and paste ships and differentiate them.

They treat it like a MP game sometimes. Every little thing gets nerfed.

Ok, so, my station is in Nopileo's Fortune II - I have 3 medium miners, the two ore ones now seem to be working and behaving fine.

I bought a third Gas miner, and setup it up EXACTLY the same way, however instead of mining it just defaults to "Patrol" - the only reason I can think is there isnt any Methane in the system, the only gas resource the station needs is methane. Is the AI not smart enough for the station assigned miners to wonder off to other systems? Maybe why its just defaulting to patrol?

Why of all systems you set up shop in this back water?
Also how many M size docks you have? You do need multiples of the 3M6S, as the initial 1M isn't good enough. In addition add a L/XL dock to have NPCs deliver to you things that are far away.

Its good late game once traffic picks up and is brilliant for shipyards. My arms complexes always go in core systems where there are wharfs/shipyards.

Multiple possibilities -
- your station manager isn’t highly skilled enough to send them to the nearest sector with resources
- you don’t have the appropriate storage containers
- you don’t have factories that need it yet
- you don’t have a dock for M ships

Same happened to me, don’t know why it sorted itself in the end.

Got plenty of docks, 2x 3M6S blocks are one large.

Got a factory that needs methane (graphiene factory)

Storage containers, I have 3, so one solid, one water, one general? Unless there is a 4th type specifically for gas?

Manager is only 1 star.

As for the location I've read it somewhere, but hey I'm still really nee so go easy on me! Ideally want to find a system that has all the resources that my station needs so I can mine everything and not rely on traders for the raw materials.
 
On FRF start with 3.0 we used to get this female pilot (she is engineer) However with patch 3.10 the pilot is just a generic Split female with different name.
3.0 pilot

3.1 same pilot (even different name)

Tried to see if this is due to a bug, so started a new FRF game, but the pilot on the FRF start is the same with 3.1 not 3.0.

Did anyone else had this issue?
 
I land where it tells me too and then nothing, no clue as to where the interface is. I've read it's on the floor near a transporter but I've gone to every single one and can't find the blasted thing

Yea I got stuck on that also, walk around the landing pads. If you walk out of the spaceship and go to one of those little transporter elevator things, you'll see one destination is highlighted yellow, go there then the trail ends, however walk around the landing pads there and you'll find it.

Welcome to X4, that's the first of many, many frustrating things that are not obvious :)
 
Some times capturing a ship can be easy. Other times can be similar to inducing shots of adrenaline.
Found one of the ZYA Asps on it's own, so decided to chase it and the pilot decided to abandon ship. Few minutes ago a Dragon pilot decided to go down with his ship after a very long battle with my Jaguar.
As I was ready to get to the spacesuit, a Mamba appeared so took it down also and the pilot decided was better to jump ship. Thought was my lucky day. Saved game and went to the suit to grab the Mamba. Suddenly a squadron of 3 Dragons and another of 2 Chimera and 2 Mambar appeared blasting me with missiles while in the space suit.

Took me an hour of trying to bait the 2 squadrons away from their long range scanner range, to be able to claim those 2 ships. Had a satellite dropped, so they ships won't disappear as soon as I was outside LOS.

Mamba (this one had weird cockpit sitting under the ship).

My Jag. :D

@CaptainRAVE one thing I found. As soon as I leveled to 11 and got promoted with FRF, on the defense station were many elite engineers. 2-3 Stars on engineering, 1 star morale and 0.5-1.5 stars piloting. They were expensive (the 2 best 60K each) but saved me the hassle. If this trend happens on other stations not only defense platforms. Also those Split miners now are really good. Well equipped with combat engines, combat thrusters can take 2 mining turrets and 2 mining drills. They fill 7000m3 cargo quickly (3500m3 pre 3.10 patch) and travelling at really high speeds for miners.

Also the Jaguar I am using (was captured and transferred the starting pilot) has Split Combat Engines MK4 never thought there will be something bigger than MK3. No FRF Split station has them for sale either.

Argon Prime or Holy Vision, there are usually ware shortages in the wharfs and the sectors have everything you need.

I never thought to look. Funny thing is that station managers skill up really quickly. No, the ZRF stations have lots of gear that FRF don't, like Mk4 engines.

Made 110 million in a few hours tonight, my Arms Complexes are really growing rapidly now and are bringing a good sum. Should soon get up to a billion. Then I'm removing the Xenon from the frontlines. 15-20 destroyers usually does it.

I take slow this one, prefer the relaxing time :D
 
Couldn't see the yellow line, it kept disapearing.

So does anyone know a fix for a bug where when getting out of a conversation with someone the reticule remains yellow and you can't talk with or interact with anything else? Going back to the guy in question and saying goodbye doesn't seem to fix it, have to save and reload to get passed it.
 
God the AI piloting is dumb in this game :-( I like to stand in my ships and let the pilot do the work but they can't pilot for toffee; my M class trader constantly crashes in to objects... I know being OoS helps as they don't do collisions then but still you woudl have thought they could have improved the pathfinding logic in this game!

Nice find! I just assumed they would be the same, time to go retrofit my main ship!

No anoyingly on that particular mission it dissapears near to the item, or at least it did for me, I am guessing for him also.
 
So I went to the ZYA wharf and put the MK4 engines, MK2 shields and saw these Boson Lance MK2 guns, really expensive I thought they must be good.

Added all 6 to my Dragon.

LOL.

You fire them, them fire for a split second then completely overcook you ships gunds and you have to wait for about a minute until you can fire again.

I guess they are not designed to go on a ship of that size in those numbers.
