Hello mate.

If the missions are crashing, report it in detail at Respawn in the forums there. Otherwise that will never be fixed. No bug report, no fix.

As for tips, i have some. Version 7 contains several ways to make a lot of money very quickly at reasonable risk level.

1) Shoot down bigger ships than you and run for it after grabbing their cargo. Some weapons are worth 6k a piece in Newmars alone. More in other systems.

2) The wanted man feature can earn you a lot of cash just by dropping the guy at a pirate base if you have access to one. Even (lots more) more if you them to malta or the corsiers base.

3) Most if not all Research stations sell Secret research papers that can be sold at a pretty large profit if you can get them to base that wants them without being scanned by pirates or the police.

4) Basic elements such as water, oxygen and food are all found on planets and sold at stations. Do this and you will always make a profit from them. These are localised commodities now. They are the same in every system so noobs can get started trading.

5) There are new wrecks no too far away from the planet newmars. Though they are well hide. You can make a packed off of those.

6) Prisoners and passengers are also easy money, depending on where you take them.

7) Theres a noob ship at Farscape in Newmars that can carry a single level 8 gun and 2 level 4 guns. Its the fastest thing in the game and only costs 20k. With its primary weapon you can take out almost anything. However its armour is weak but it can be fitted with great shields.

Finally, Your choice of shields is vital. The old modifier of 30% extra damage of 30% less damage depending on what weapon was used against what shield was increased to 50% in Version 2 of HU. In Version 7 i further developed the shields so they had very special properties that made them useful in other situations. Figure out the system and you will be able to go head to heard with a level 10 fighter and win. Get it wrong and you wont scratch some shields.

You might want to delete your FL game and to a clean reinstall. Particulary if you have done any changes or other mods. Hostile Univ 7 seems to be really stable (and a GREAT mod).

giskard, i found that n00b ship, its $100,000

Hello all.

Well Version 7 turned out to have a bug in the narn fighter AI loadout that some pirates and the bounty hunters used. Which caused lots of crashes in the tougher systems such as the border worlds and anything outside liberty, easy systems where uneffected as this bug only happens when you meet lvl9 or over AI pilots who fly the higher level narn ships. All because of 1 file. Anyway there is a update out, V7.1 that fixes that and a few other bugs.

It also features the Ringworld system i created for other mod makers to use. The HU version is a private version, right now its similar to the public version but will change a lot over time as i add new features to it.

Check out the screenshots of the new system.

Snub fighter noob ship:

100,000 for the noob ship. Thats not right. Check out my ini that gives the real price.

[Good
nickname = rssnub_hull
category = shiphull
ship = rs_snub
price = 20000
ids_name = 12015
item_icon = Equipment\models\commodities\nn_icons\cv_heavy.3db

As you can see, it says 20,000 so something must be wrong with your install mate. Check farscape in newmars for the fighter, or sledgehammers. I forget which. Let me know what happens.

BTw if you guys have any questions about HU, info youd like to know up front before playing it or just some tips email me at [email protected] because im thinking of making a full players guide for it to include such things. Knowing what you really want to know would help me make a better guide.

Anyway, enjoy the mod. Its growing with every release and it does have a plot of its own too

eg ..Who are those mysterious Aliens that nomads beat up... join in next week folks for the next thrilling episode of "Oy get off my beer".
