Oi Was browsing recent changes on the wiki and noticed there's joined some bots that made a bit of spam: http://wiki.avorion.net/index.php?title=Diezel_Sun http://wiki.avorion.net/index.php?title=User_talk:KobyBarry

Side note: you can move the camera to some degree in the options

It *is* on steam, just not publicly. Just add the key to steam.

Not sure why that didn't work, but wouldn't it be easier to install a LUA environment and just run the turret generating scripts (slightly modified to give textual output) a ton of times if you want statistical data?

erm... Why? Doesn't seem very intuitive to me, nor do I see what it adds except being fiddly...

He was asking about the "Looking for artifacts" quest, not the artifacts themselves. You know, the one

I write a wiki thing about the weapons currently in-game last week

AI - It's like Pirate Swoks - it has a 1 in 20 chance of spawning in systems in that region that are not offgrid, regular or home to a faction; and spawns after 8 consecutive jumps in such systems if it didn't before. Only thing I'm not sure of is what that means exactly - I suspect offgrid = mass and regular = energy; which would mean you find it by jumping between systems that are neither. Which is easy enough to test. :) Artifact delivery questline can be found on bulletin boards (generally of military outposts, maybe on others too) as "looking for Xsotan Artifacts", "hard", for 10000000 creds or so. Quest log will point you towards the location when you find it. You're looking for a beacon.

:o I should really finish project Exodus :V

I meant the number for your firepower - you can see it in the building menu in the stats on the right. xxx omicron. Just in case your turrets are simply to weak to do notable damage or so.

What's the firepower (and type) of your turrets and your fighters? And what region are you in?

Yup - one Xsotan and two non-xsotan, or 3 non-xsotan. All legendary. I presume to prevent us from just farming Swoks at a point where he's easy as pie to kill.

Tried it both in offline (on the train) and online (at home, started steam, turned off wifi and started game). Game starts, can't connect to singleplayer. Windows 10, in case it's relevant.

Not sure if this is a bug, but when I try to play while my laptop isn't connected to a network the game hangs forever on "Connecting" when I start it, even though I'm playing singleplayer on one pc.

Not sure what you mean here, could you explain better? Before this patch assigning weapons ignored the keys you'd set up in the settings for "weapon group 1" etc and just used 1, 2, 3, ... Now it uses the same keys, which allows me to actually bind weapons since my (non-qwerty) keyboard doesn't have 1, 2, 3, ... (well, not without shift)

Absolutely (another reason why I don't want hyperspace blockers). Odd, I seem to remember not being to jump out of my first fight with Swoks ??? Maybe I'm misremembering or something. I'd gotten used to not taking than more block off my shields in fights, let alone hull :D Also, I can blast asteroids to smithereens very fast with 16000 firepower and no mining lasers, so that's gonna have to be a lot of stone... Maybe I should ask Trump to design my hull :V

Yay \o/ wat Not sure what that tactic is supposed to be... shoot the guns off? Hit and run? (incidentally, can you jump out of boss battles? :V )

I prefer it this way too, I'm just saying a piece of the puzzle is missing. It makes sense that, if a mission asks you to bring Xsotan Artifacts somewhere, something in the game gives you an indication of what a Xsotan artifact actually is :P I thought it was some kind of rare cargo drop you could only find in the core or something. Haven't managed to find Exodus yet, ran into an empty system again, so I think I'll wait for a patch :) Only that one and the merchant one to go. ;D

Oh yeah, happened twice to me too, but I didn't know it was a bug :V Happened the second and third time I beat the Scientist iirc

edit: accidentally used quote instead of modify, ignore

I was jumping around more outer sectors yesterday, looking for the AI, and thought of something to make the NPC ships a bit more believable: fear. Currently the pirates attack you with no regard for their own life, even if their firepower is 40 and mine was about 16000, which meant they couldn't make a dent in my shields while I could one-shot them.Now, I know pirates aren't the cleverest (never seeing the flaw of ambushing people who are jumping into a system to help against a pirate attack and somehow not expecting those people to be able to fend off a pirate attack :V ), but that's kind of silly. It would be fun to see them flee when they realise they're fighting a losing battle. :D

BTW, koonshi, I think it'd be better if the 8 upgrades are actually called "Xsotan Artifact I" etc - until I went digging through the lua I had no clue these things were the artifacts I was supposed to deliver to the artifact mission, which means I'd miss the dialogue with the 4 which is clearly meant to hint you toward the way to get to the core. There's not really any way in the game to know except guessing - you don't get them from the Xsotan, and they're just called a number.

I'll see what I can do when I have some time. (have some experience with game wikis :) ) Seems the current wiki is kind of horribly outdated indeed :P
