So....how does one do those little side missions, like Ciago the Omnifactory trader?

Escort me to the omnifactory. Basically fly around me and make sure no one attacks me. Once there I will deposit a bunch of ships and weapons from different factions.

[ciago92]

By the way,you 'Omnifactory Trader' are too weak.Just few of ships and any one can 'help' you about your goods.

yes you can kill me and get some of my goods, but then you don't have any access to the ships I would have deposited had I survived to the omnifactory.

When i 1'st attack Ciago transport with 2 hound & some fighter wing it felt just like Mangalores attacked Mondoshawan's in the movie
"5 element" & it was an GREAT feeling 
but it's true that you better escort Ciago to the Omni so he can deliver "Stuff" along with ships

I mean, I couldn't find them on the sector map. I went back a save and right as it popped up, I checked to make sure he wasn't already killed.  Couldn't find him.

The one time I've had this event, I found I had to wait a couple of days before Ciago popped up-- I thought I had already lost him as well. He dropped off a boxenstein, ragnarok, some lesser ships, and a few weapons. Not bad at all.

Ciago will spawn few days after the 2'nd msg. on the edge of the map, it will be on the map as the "small" fleet (but not as the smallest) 

[CrashToDesktop]

Does he have a different name on the map, or is he part of another faction?  I could probably look in the code and easily find it, but I'm testing you.

i'm not sure but name it's just "Ciago" & it's just yellow like on every event there will be MSG. display nothing unusual

So I started getting those null pointer exception errors in my current savegame, the first one happened after I beat SirBoomalot and tried to screenshot it. Now they occur within a minute or less of loading my current save file. Is there something I can do tho the save file or the mod that will make it stop? I saw a few other posts in this thread and the general bugreports forum but I couldn't find any fixes or anything. I'm running the 17.1 version from the banner link although the folder extracted from the .zip says it's DEV.

I like the new boss battle fleets though. An 'endgame' of sorts was definitely what the game needed in it's current state.

I have had this problem many times before and after a day or so of not using the save and/or creating and playing on a new profile for a while it usually stops. So...create a new character, play on it for a while, and wait a day or two and see if that fixes the problem.
If that doesn't work then I cant help . But in any case I hope it helps

Think that we will have boss loot implemented correctly in the next release? I keep killing the boss fleets and hoping for that one rare drop that some people have apparently been getting and I keep getting disappointed.

I will say that playing in hardcore mode with no omni-fac sounds like it would be REALLY fun, if we could get periodic supply drops of marines and green crew to our station or be allowed to buy them and only them from elsewhere. Or even only be able to gain them by raiding personnel convoys.

I love playing without being able to buy anything but crew/marines. Having them periodically shipped in and replinshed is all that's missing.

It make things more exciting to play the real pirate route, every ship you get is valuable, even a Hound. One other self imposed rule I like to use is to never raise my repair skill. Having 100% chance to repair a lost ship is a danger killer, you still lose all your weapons but it's not a big blow.
I find myself storing hulls in case of emergency, rotating crew in order to train up green crewmen and specifically targetting certain factions in order to capture equipment to refit the destroyer I just captured... It feels strange to be slapping a vulcan cannon onto a medium ballistic spot and trying to make it work just because you don't have anything appropriate to fit.

This is what I like to hear.

I'll craft an experience towards something like that, as in the vanilla lore (big catastrophe, have to use what you've got, etc.).

I'm currently doing a playthrough like this and that moment when you finally board your first cruiser is heaven.

This as well as you constantly feel a crunch of pressure as I dont allow myself to buy supplies either, so I cant screw up and not fight anything for a while if i'm scared. Adds a nice time-pressure aspect to it, kind of like my ramshackle fleet is constantly falling apart and i need to raid others to keep surviving and expand.
