    • Reign of the UE


      Okay, so I did this plug-in to get the UE Dreadnaught. The first mission is to observe the "asteroid"(shuttle) Weirdo, and then go to Pareen, not Pareen Station mind you, so don't even suggest that. I do this, I sit in the Chorca system, and observe the shuttle all the way until it floats out of the system till I can't follow it. Then go to Pareen. Nothing Happens, no new prompt, the mission stays active. Ummmm???? Also, what is this Svaas Test or whatever that spawns this easily killed voinian station next to a planet, but has no mission objective text to it. So I have these previous questions plus this one. If I get the UE Dreadnaught, then take the plugin out of the plugin box, can I keep the ship, or what will happen to my pilot file. Or what happens to my pilot file if I just take out the plugin now. Will it be corrupted??? If I can't keep the ship, this plugin seems pretty sloppy, and I won't bother with it, except perhaps if someone can tell me some stuff to answer my questions.

      is to destroy you

    • Whenever I have trouble with a plug-in mission I start it over(that usually does the trick). Also, all you have to do is jump into the system (you don't really need to follow it). As for keeping the ship: you can take out the plug and still fly the ship if it is in the original game and if it is not the you can just put the plug back in (no corruption, unless the ship is not part of the game). Hope that helps.

      Since the UE Dreadnaught only exists in Reign of the UE, a pilot that is flying it won't work unless Reign of the UE is installed.

      Sorry, but that's how all plugins work. Besides, the purpose of Reign of the UE is to give you a plot, and the ship is only part of that plot. And Reign of the UE is certainly ~not~ sloppy.

      Although if you replaced it with another plug-in that uses the same shďp resource, you could give yourself whatever new ship that is. Wing Zero: I don't recall the mission you mentioned in ROTUE, but if it's anything like the Igadzra "Strange Asteroid" mission, you need to disable the asteroid/shuttle before going to Paaren. About the Svass test, I'm guessing it's an experiment that the author meant to remove from the final version of the plug. I don't know what you mean by "easily killed" however. In my experience, the Svass Station that mission creates has thousands of rockets and fighters at its disposal, and it quickly destroys anything non-Voinian in the system, including me if I'm not quick to run away.

    • The station can't move so with Neutron turrets, you can shoot at it before it launches it s rockets and the fighters are easely killed with a neutron beam (wich is a way to powerful weapon)
      About the dreadnought 1 mission, wasn't the objective to capture the plans of the abandonned Isled station?
      About the Svass mission: kill it and return to Obron outpost? Anyway return to a certain UE system.
      About the keep the ship: The ship is part of the plug, remove the plug => remove the ship.
      You'll get a corrupted pilot file if the ship resource you fly isn't in the current plug/data file you play with. (is this right?)
