Can you upload on google/one drive the save please?
Nice, that's the one that the Duke's ships often use. They have a pink variant too if you fancy

Some war missions, but I get them mainly from ventures. I have a ship to those type of missions almost all the time.
Capital ships you need to use repair drones

Capital ships you need to use repair drones
Yeah I know but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
With or without repair drones your ships will only repair themselves to about 80%/90% without you being in the pilot seat, likewise with or without repair drones your ships will repair to 100% including all modules with just repair crew.
I tested it. Unless its the skill of the pilot mine are only about 3 star.
Soldato
Do you have full complement of Engineers?
Soldato
Yup, this is on a rattlesnake anyway, full engineers and pilot.
I also tested the repair by accident, as the derelict paranid destroyer on my game was in a system with (literally) thousands of mines, flying it back the thing got wrecked including all the repair drones and engines so it was basically stranded. I had no way to get repair drones to it, so I had to fly a ship to dock to it, transfer the repair crew over and wait, the repair crew did eventually repair it all without repair drones.
I am sure drones speed to the repair up though, well I'd hope so, otherwise they are pretty useless.

I haven't experienced this tbh :/

Last video of the series. Talks about the Strategy aspect of the game. Including subordinates, fleets, supply ships etc.

Had some pesky SCA Minotaurs hitting my Hull Parts factory dumping the cargo and scooping it, in Antigone Memorial of all places.
One dared to attack a construction drone of my builder but paid the ultimate price. As I was standing on the station saw the Mammoth turrets turn (the ship was immobile) vaporizing the Minotaur almost instantly. Spending 40mil on a builder is always a great investment (20mil the ship, crew modules and 20mil the blue/purple mods). Especially when pushing into XEN systems to setup defense platforms.
Yesterday treated like pests 2 Ps and 3 Ms who tried to stop it in Ianamus Zura from completing a contract station. As 2 previous hired builders died to Xenon incursions at the gate or near the trade station.

upload the save file to see what's the issue.
You craft them with items you find in ventures etc.

Now that my work has finally quietened down a little bit, I've finally got around to grabbing the Split DLC and started a fresh game last night with the Fires of Defeat scenario. Immediately hightailed it out of the stating area in my little Jaguar and am currently hiding on the complete opposite side of the universe whilst I consider my options.
Soldato
Finally wiped the Xenon out of the north on mine, took back all the ZYA systems and took Matrix 598, and the first of the two Tharka's Cascade systems to the south. 9 Systems in total taken in a row from Xenon.
Managed to do it mostly with a couple of rattlesnakes, those things are very good, but it did take ages. Raptor as support, they also make a good "blocker" for the Xenon capital ships as that thing can tank them long enough for your destroyers to get there.
Need to decide who to make an enemy of next, I might be borring and pick on HOP.

HOP often end up being my biggest customer so I tend to avoid becoming their enemy, plus I always feel like they could do with the help when they're being attacked from so many directions from the start of the game.

Don’t get me started on them. I now have about 5 that I built, met all the requirements (even the hidden ones they don’t tell you) and now the missions have disappeared and I still own the stations. This game is an exercise in frustration sometimes.
It’s a fun start.
I’m currently contemplating how to get my remaining achievements. The rest are pretty grindy, so I’m taking my time with them.

Odd, I have built tons of stations now and not a single problem that wasn't my own mistake.
Things can can catch you out is getting solid/container storage mixed up, or not realising the mission marker is vertically up or down from the level of the map, looking at the map top down.
Sometimes something that will trigger it to complete is that go back and adjust the plot sized, move it 1km bigger in any direction I find thatll sometimes un freeze it and the mission will complete.

- Fixed Hatikvah story not always being re-offered when initial station was destroyed - great, that should fix it on my old save allowing me easy access to the other achievements.
It seems its only the Split builds not working for me. Weird.

My miners are still broken. After much observation and experimenting, there's just something odd going on with my station.
When my station was small, all my miners were working fine. Later I bolted on some more modules and then the problems started.
Now the miner returns to my station, exchanges wares, undocks...But doesn't return to the asteroid field. Instead, it undocks then immediately goes to 'gathering resources', except it's doing it right next to my station. Like there's a big fat asteroid sat there.
This is happening 80% of the time and never happens at NPC stations. And whilst you can actually just drag the symbol thingy back to the asteroid field where they mostly sort themselves out, it's still quite a chore.
I can't see any other way to remedy this other than hoarding the resources the miners are supposed to bring. When I have full stock I can open for business again, and this should vastly reduce the rate in which they return to my station and go **** up lol.
Always wanted to try this but I messed up the install (had Mammoths floating about everywhere),what were those two factions all about?
No shortages of fights to pick in X4 if you were wondering.
