Hey, I had the lobster quest appear in Umbra, but went to check my reputation in case there would be an impact, and it disappeared and won't come back
If you initiate the bar event with the pirates but leave mid-way through, you will not get a chance to restart the quest. Sorry!
I suppose this is something I could change. If you leave mid-way through the conversation with one of the spacers related to the Red Planet quest, can you come back later to restart it?
Heya! Just wanna say i'm loving the mod, been using it since the pre v5 rework! (though that boggled my old save)
Two quick question though,
-When removing the stellar mirrors from colony management, the array still exists in the sector without providing any further terraforming benefits (and the planet doesn't turn dark again). Is that intended? What happens if i build the array again?
-I can't seem to get the lobster quest for some reason, using nex and no random coreworlds. Neither orbiting Umbra for months nor going in and out of hyperspace could get the quest to pop up in the bar.
The stellar reflectors don't disappear but are purely visual once the structure is removed. If you rebuild the structure, they'll remain in orbit but more won't be added. This is done to explain the fact that "poor light" doesn't return if you scrap the structure.
Do you have the message on the seed lobsters ability that indicates your sector is modified and the quest can't be initiated?
I'm afraid not. It only says "you lack the techonology necessary to create new variations of the Voluntarian lobsters that can surivive on other planets" in orange text.
Unlike Penelope's Secret, the lobster quest relies on Starsector's built-in mechanism for placing quests on a planet. It can be finicky about when the quest is populated - be sure to clear/resolve any other bar quests in Umbra as well as travel to other systems. When I was testing it myself I had to jump to hyperspace and back several times before it would show up. If you start a new game and immediately use console commands to travel to Umbra, does the quest populate?
Unfortunately it's almost impossible for me to identify why the quest wouldn't show up for a given player. There are too many variables to investigate, including other mods the player has installed, possible bugs in the vanilla bar quest population code, and Umbra potentially being conquered/decivilized while the quest was in the bar. Sorry!
Hello, Similar problem to a crash brought up earlier:
When I get to the 'conquering the sector' resolution for Odysseus' quest (hand over the astral and say yes to being a figure head) my game crashes when the AI adds their ship to my fleet

Declining to conquer the sector seems to work (haven't been able to try and build a gate, but the game doesn't crash on the dialogue resolving)
Otherwise loving the mod
This seems to be related to the Conquest from my quest, but I'm not sure why a certain weapon slot on the hull wouldn't exist and throw an exception. Are you using any mods that alter the Conquest hull in any way? If not, I'll take a deeper look into this and see what I can find.
