have an idea as to what's wrong with this picture? i recently asked about a thunderbolt fighter to add to the game (just the thunderbolt). DJ_Sol was kind enough to offer me help with it. while that was going on, i was tipped off about a site that might have it for single download. i got there, and found the hostile universe plus mod, which could be used by itself, which has the thunderbolt fighter, along with the lightningrod (a cooler version of the t-bolt), and a few others. so now i have a file with the ship i need, and the tutorial from Firebase on how to set it up as the ship you start the game with.
Now...i don't know what i was doing that was wrong, but i couldn't get it to work. after a couple more tries, i gave up and just activated the whole mod on it's own, along with the uber shield mod, mass drivers, and the dark trent & alien sampler. these are the mods i use when just trying to explore sirius. i've already finished the game, now i just want to actually have GONE evrywhere in it without a lot of hassle.
anyway, here's what happens: after repeated attempts, i can't seem to change the prices of either the t-bolt or l-rod, no matter how low i make the price, it stays at 200k-ish and 312k, respectively. i can change prices on other things, but not those. not a huge deal.
but... after hitting vacuum and getting into fights, i was astounded to see that a lone outcast ship, neutral, not even turn hostile as i layed into it for about 2 mins, every weapon blazing at it. every other faction falls apart as soon as i look at it, but the outcast gets nothing more than a killer drum solo on his shields.
any ideas?
thnx,
