    @StyxAnnihilator Sounds like you should be friends with Zirax in that difficulty level.

    Intended. :D
    Not everything is going to show up on the map or the radar. It depends on the type of POI and planet.

    @Myrmidon Not sure you have the time, when they throw attacks at you and forces the rep down.

    If you play clever you can be friends with all 3 factions.

    Being Friends with all is rather a question of Playing style then of cleverness.;)

    @Ephoie here's the trader file from the current version on the workshop.

    Rename the file to TraderNPCConfig.ecf and then place in your content/scenarios/Project Eden/content/configuration folder. (or whatever folder you're using for the scenario). Do this while the server is offline and then see if it works now.

    @Myrmidon Right, on most normal play troughs and difficulties. I have managed to be honored with all 3 factions, aliens do not count. On an Insane difficulty (as described) that would probably not happen. Several other play troughs on hard would probably be needed long time on leveling and getting loot, if to avoid Zirax POIs and drones and troops.
    Less fun (for me) not attacking Zirax.

    Hi ravien_ff, I just want to say thank you for this. I ran thru the version 11.5 with w/v and cpu on but it was just way to much of a grind to get the cpu parts since you removed gold deposits and asteroids. (at least there are none in my seed) Also the warp distances are a little waky for some things. for example a lot of the good trading stations are at a dead end with a 200+ warp cost, that's 400 pent just to visit it to find out it doesn't have what you need. Seriously, who builds a trade station at a dead end warp line? I ended up giving up after many many hours grinding for the parts and didn't continue with my vid series on it. Other then those 2 points it rocks! I was on a multi player server running Project Eden and they shortened all the warp distances to be more reasonable and it made a lot of difference to my overall experience with the scenario. I will probably do the same thing and modify the sectors file it creates on logon and move things closer, I may even add gold back into some of the playfields templates yaml's to be able to make at least the small vessel cpu parts without having to buy or loot them. I will see how it goes and if its balanced I will make a new series and play it thru. Thanks again for all the work you have put into this epic scenario. Cheers!

    Thank you! Yeah warp distances will be a lot different in alpha 12. Unfortunately alpha 11.5 doesn't let you use multiple solar system configs so the scenario map is a bit of a mess until alpha 12. Trade stations and such are placed randomly though you can sometimes find them next to temperate planets. The planets also needed to be spread out enough for the map to be usable, but the map has since been updated to be a lot easier to use so that's not as needed anymore.
    In general, solar systems will be a lot smaller in alpha 12, warp distances much shorter, etc. Should be a lot easier to warp around within a solar system.

    Gold for crafting CPU components was a recent addition so I wasn't able to update the scenario for it yet since I'm working on updating the scenario for alpha 12. I'm adding more consistent sources of gold, though you're not going to find tons of unguarded gold asteroids in orbit. :D

    Thanks for playing it and for the feedback! :D

    A word to jump distances and upcoming A12: According to the Mods/Devs the max Jump distance will be raised to 2500 LY. 1 Pentaxid = 1 LY

    Yikes! 2500 pent for a warp is insane. I am guessing they will be making pent easier to get then. LOL

    Its already easy to get. Project Eden provides it in overflowing amounts. Daily quests for the Zirax gives you a lot of it too.

    Also we are already by jumps of 400-600LY distances so if you like to get from one Solar System to 2nd to a 3rd...you easy go upwards to 1500 and more LY

    That's all true, but the first time I spend 2500 pent to warp I know my sphincter is going to hurt! LOL

    We have been sending people all over the universe on resource missions. Its all about sharing what we have.

    On a positive note, we have been averaging 10 to 13 players most evenings and they are commenting on the mod. Most we have had in a server in quite some time. Its open and public but is never advertised. I think this speaks to the quality of the mod. Damn Zirax are gonna pay though... I am up to about 4 lost sv now. Drone bases are NOT your friend... :confused:

    What has crossed my mind is I am hoping that I can start in Eden and have it be my home system then go out into the galaxy. Got to have a home am I right?
