Mod Request

[Kustus]

Hi,

 

I'd really like it if there was a mod that let you buy other factions stations/mines etc.

Ofc the price whould be above the prize of building one on ur own but it whould let you get those sweet 6 mine systems under ur control to setup a station system.

 

Going to war with a faction to buy stations seems to be the only way atm but I'd really like it if there was a diplomatic way.

if the point is not to take something away from a faction, but to have a self controlled sector with many mines i suggest a workaround:

- build the mines that you want to have in your target sector spread over nearby sectors
- set the mines to transport mode
- dock the mines with a ship
- jump them into the target sector
- (optional) move the mines to positions you like
- undock the mines
- set mines back to station mode

Voila, you got a sector with the number of mines you wanted.

You will need a big ship for this, so this is no good option for the start of the game.

I think you will have to do the dock-jump-undock procedure mine by mine. With a very big ship with very strong engines it may be possible to move more mines in one step.

Actually you could enter build mode and turn the mine into a tiny trinium block by loading ship design, so you don't have to carry it on a huge and powerful ship.
