After having read the documentation, I came up with a few (and probably inefficient) mods.

 

 

Spawn changer

 

To do so, you need to go to a sector with a shipyard, where you need to have 60k+ reputation, interact with it and choose the "Set Homeworld" option.

 

Both the server and the client need to have this mod in order for it to work in MP.

 

[u[To Install:[/u]

- Unrar attached file to data/scripts/entity/merchants and overwrite (backup just in case)

 

Changelog:

-Changed from 50k to 60k, because it didn't make sense that you could base for 50k, but you could only buy while armed for 60k and above.

 

Known issues:

- If you piss off the faction you're based at, you still spawn there.

 

 

Pirate warlord

 

This one adds a new mission to military outposts, "Eliminate pirate warlord", which tells you to kill a pirate miniboss/warlord in a pirate asteroid field. He drops a guaranteed exceptional item (there's a chance it could be exotic!) on top of what a standard pirate would drop.

 

Also, this mission including clear sector from vanilla now reward players with reputation to that faction based on how naive said factions are, as well as scale the monetary reward with the greediness/generousness of those factions.

 

Also, this is completely serverside.

 

To Install:

- Unrar folder contents to data/scripts/ and overwrite (backup just in case)

 

Known issues:

- The warlord only spawns when the player who got the quest warps in that area.

- If the quest holder leaves the sector and another player kills the warlord, since the quest holder will have to enter the sector again, he will respawn the boss. (Experimental fix, need someone to test it.)

 

 

Dock building

 

Makes station founders able to construct equipment docks, repair docks, research stations and turret factories.

 

This is still WIP, as I have to figure out to make the player owning them actually matter. For now, they will just act as any other dock, but owned by you instead. Your ship must be 200k+ in volume in order to found any of them.

 

Both client and server need to have this mod, as it modifies the UI of the station founder.

 

To Install:

- Unrar folder contents to data/scripts/ and overwrite (backup just in case)

 

Known issues:

-If you log off in the same sector in your hsip as your built station, there is a chance you will spawn in your last-built station.

-Docking ports are kinda weird, you'll have to place them far away from the center of the station for them to work.

 

 

Casino "Gambling"

 

This mod makes you able to "gamble" at casinos, which is basicly generating a random turret or system each time you press the button, at the cost of sector tech level * 8k. The odds are the same as a mob dropping items, but the benefit here is being able to do quickly (provided you got the cash). Comes with a very basic GUI, too!

 

Needs to be both on client and server. Singleplayer confirmed to work so far.

 

Need someone to test this in multiplayer, as I haven't tested it there at all yet.

 

Install just like the rest.

Please let me know what you think about these mods, if they are unbalanced, could use tweaks, anything!

So, client lua files don't get synced with the client?  >:(

They didn't in demo, so I guess they won't here, too. Maybe Steam Workshop support will change it.

 

Yup this. They don't right now though some server side stuff you can do and the client will work with it even I think load up UI's If I recall. But outside that there will be workshop support but I doubt will see that anytime soon my guess is a few months but will see.

A friendly shipyard isn't giving me the option to set spawn. How do I check reputation? Is that what I need to get it to give me the option?

 

Do I kill pirates to get reputation?

 

EDIT: Ok, they say they don't know me well enough to give me permission to set home. I guess I'll wait on some pirates or something.

Updated the OP with a new mod, pirate warlord mission, and a tiny tweak to the spawn changer, changing the requirement to 60k from 50k

 

Hey friend, I think 60k is great but I also think the faction system via faction wars is wrong. I opened up temporarydefender.lua and found that they give 85k? just to side with someone meaning that you can get well past friendly instantly. So what I'm thinking of doing is setting mine to about 25k instead.

 

Not sure how bad that will go since I can't really script and I'm pretty sure that replaces the rep rather then gives 25k meaning that if I had 30k with them it will reset. But either way it seems better then having instant friendly.

 

Any suggestions?

 

 

Edit:

 

Have you also found where the freq of missions are stored? I kind of find any at stations :)

 

PS: I love to see more missions omg I'm hyped hehe.

If you mean adding 25k rep, you could change this line under the declarePeace() function:

    Galaxy():setFactionRelations(faction, player, 85000)

to:

    Galaxy():changeFactionRelations(faction, player, 25000)

 

Haven't tested, but let me know if it works!

Thank you friend. I woke up to an error (for the warlord clearing missions)

could not execute function 'updateServer' in '"data/scripts/player/missions/clearsector.lua"':
data/scripts/player/missions/clearsector.lua:78: attempt to index global 'r' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
        data/scripts/player/missions/clearsector.lua:78: in function 'awardRep'
        data/scripts/player/missions/clearsector.lua:42: in function <data/scripts/player/missions/clearsector.lua:32>

Setting script "data/scripts/player/missions/clearsector.lua" to invalid.

 

I will try that change soon btw ty :)

Thanks! Uploaded a fix just now.

 

As for the mission frequencies, I think it's something in the updateBulletins function, but I haven't had a proper look at them, since the new mission just has a 50% chance to appear in place of a sector clearing one.

The Extratab for the new Stations wont shup up

And yes its server and clientside installed

 

Sorry but, what do you mean by it not shutting up? Does it not close? Or does it not let it render the other tabs? Pictures would be greatly appreciated, as well, if it's more than that.
