I like the outlaw Borer swarms. You have to fight for your ore and it's good fun. It's only relatively new and was quite a surprise the first time it happened. It may be a little excessive but it certainly adds some excitement to mining. I've never looked at the code. Some additional info on the ion...

I've never used them. When I started playing donating was a big pit that sucked up credits and items for no apparent reward. Things have improved a bit since with the "this item is valuable to Domina" screen description but they are still a mystery to me. I've learnt more from looking at the code an...

Although it isn't a very complicated task, is there is an easy way to select two or more items randomly from a list? Wanting to damage between 2 to 4 of the 5 installed weapons on the CSC-II Earth in the Network mod to simulate battle damage. So I think a list of 2 to 4 weapons selected randomly is ...

The device swap thing is a bug. Same as the 'BM cant swap better devices 1.8b4' Ministry ticket. You can install a device but not replace one. eg, the TX3 can have a weapon or collimator installed because it has an empty slot but you can't then replace that installed device. Probably caused by a sma...

Although the CSC Antarctica launches patrols every so often it doesn't launch any ships if the player says they will attack it. Having half a dozen Centurions pop out and attack the player as they undock might make it exciting. No idea if this idea is balanced though. I haven't fought the Antarctica...

Erebien fortress looks great. The way the station weapons fire from the 'towers' is excellent. The blue giant star in Contemplation Point looks great. Minor: Although &unidAncientRacesVol1; has been updated to API 43 and 1.0 Alpha 7, the VOTG &unidExtension; in VaultOfTheGalaxy.xml is still API 42/1...

The first one has already been fixed in the next version.
Great looting in the second one, but yeah, a little excessive.
I'll have a look at the third one.

The 'exposed' weapons could be knocked out and need time to reboot and become operational again. This could be a period of time when either the weapon couldn't be used or did the misfiring thing. But the weapon wouldn't be permanently damaged. It could start functioning again automatically or could ...

The advanced analyzer only identifies items up to level 10. There is one level 11 field crystal and, as Song says above, one halo gem, the Gem of Sacrifice, which is level 12. Confusingly the analyzers use the identified level to determine whether they are sophisticated enough. All unidentified halo...

Unfortunately the mod doesn't work in game version1.8b4. This is because of changes to the game which will make it much better. But for now all you get is one or two stations in every randomly generated system. The code needs to be updated. The mod does work in game version 1.7 http://kronosaur.com/...

You can't use your existing ship from Part 1 in VOTG at this stage. Although it would be great to do that. The Iocrym are indeed aliens. I didn't know there was an Iocrym ship in VOTG. That's exciting. Thanks for sharing that. And none of the wingmen from Part 1 can cross to VOTG either. Normally th...

Welcome. Nice work with the bug reports. It is fun blowing lots of things up. Try the Semesta mod by DigaRW. Lots of explosions in that one.

Welcome. I also enjoy the lore and storyline. It adds to the game IMO. And, yes, the community here is awesome. Very friendly and helpful.

Thanks. Some of this may have to do with using a save from 1.7 in 1.8b4. That could be true. The "Freyr-class gunship destroyed" message looks to be related to a bunch of "ERROR: shpOrder attack target already destroyed." debug log entries which occur in groups of 5 or 6. The only thing I can think ...

Well spotted. It is indeed a bug. The shipbroker code was changed a couple of versions ago. The new code is working in SOTP but VOTG hasn't had the new code added yet so you can't buy ships. https://ministry.kronosaur.com/record.hexm?id=82255 As ferdinand says, VOTG is still an alpha. Game balance i...
