<t>It's been a while... and I'm trying to pick up my project where I left off.<br/>
<br/>
As before, the basis would be a moderatly colonised universe. I see that this is now possible – or rather 'should' be, because I can't get it to work. Without wanting to take apart the *.exe, I don't know where ...

<t>@impaktor <br/>
Ok... that sounds promising. And I know I've written it several times; since I'm not a coder (my strengths are on the content creation side, lore, graphics, etc.) I can't really help with that; but when it comes to creating content, I'll be very happy to contribute to the project ...

<t>@impaktor <br/>
So... It's been a few months since you released the new editor and yes, I've had a little time to recreate one or two sectors of my mod with it. A fine thing in itself... but I've already lost interest in the second sector. The reason is quite simple: Why should I go to all this ...

<t>Ok - following the ongoing conversation here, already the first disappointment:<br/>

Interesting. I believe we discuss (way into the future) adding some more RPG into pioneer (actually, the New Game menu in the up coming release is a step in that direction). I keep ...

You can reduce the expansion rate of factions. Dividing by ten resulted a quite small bubble. The only thing missing is that you can't reign in the independend systems, even if you remove the Independend faction. (No central governance will be generated then)<br/>

@impaktor <br/>
Of course I also think the changes are sensible and, in view of the longevity of the project, necessary. I would also like to make it clear that I do not see myself as having a special right to criticise just because I have donated to Pioneer. <br/>
When I stumbled ...

<t>@impaktor <br/>
As far as I understand it, my ability to mod the game to my liking will be severely limited with this version - more than that, all previous work will become invalid. I have no idea what exactly you have up your sleeve, but if I have no way to switch from the current 'we have two ...

I've modified the uploaded zip a bit, you could download and unpack it into your Pioneer/data, overwriting the existing files.<br/>
<br/>
That's how it worked now, thank you. <br/>
Overall impression<br/>
The cockpit model is amazing. You can tell that it was designed ...

@nozmajner 
Thx !

Anything else I should be aware of? The cockpit is not loading for me (not even when I start a new game). The 'Exp.CP' option only loads the 'old' one.
Am I missing something?

NEW COCKPITS

Okay, they look really great ! If you need someone to test the Xylophis cockpit before you release it, I'm here !

This question is answered on the Wiki FAQ. I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader, to find the link.<br/>
<br/>
Yes, no, I mean, it is logical to look for this information in the WIKI and not in, let's see... the FAQ ... <br/>
But thanks, your 20x50 metre neon ...

We don't monitor this forum too much these days. Our IRC or the discord channel Beyond Frontier has much faster response times.

I can't find you on Discord... Beyond Frontier, right?

@crux_72 Sadly, no. But would perhaps be something for a importer tool for starting a new game from an old (incompatible) version, that one developer has worked on.<br/>
<br/>
Okay, that's a shame, of course, but not a big problem. I just didn't think that my game save ...

<t>Cool - I was looking forward to this - and the new Xylophis has real charm <br/>
One question; Is there a (relatively) easy way to 'transfer' the logbook entries of an old save to a new one? The question may seem silly, but the 'story' I've been spinning around my character for the past year ...

<t> <br/>
Great, looking forward to it. Of course, we can't say much yet, but the new menus look good !<br/>

For populating the galaxy, you could try reducing the expansion rates of the factions in data/factions.<br/>
<br/>
I have already done that. However, this ...

<t>The autopilot is simple; it accelerates until it is time to slow down so that the ship touches down precisely on its target. It does not calculate whether your ship has enough fuel for the journey - that is your job. There are routes you can leave to the autopilot and go to sleep. And there are ...

<t>So... after almost a year since I stumbled across Pioneer (absolutely by chance), my character has completed his journey...<br/>
Actually, now it would be time to start a new game. But... it's almost the end of December and I'm asking myself: Should I wait a few more weeks and play with the ...

<t>I think you have to think a bit more than usual here, that's true. Fuel, cargo and the ship used all play a role - you also have to be careful not to accidentally leave the low power thrust mode activated, otherwise you won't fly anywhere.<br/>
In general, however, I think it's very good that ...

@impaktor
Just here to let you know that I haven't noticed any issues while playing around with the new cargo missions
Cheers,
