Does the emergency burn have lag? i.e. You activate emergency burn and there's a small delay between the activation and EB taking effect.
Thing is you could (with skill) EB away from a fleet that is burning towards you.
You'd have enough time, then, to get to a friendly fleet to assist you in taking care of the fleets that are following you.
It takes a couple of seconds to ramp up to the full bonus.
It occurs to me that this scenario is possible in the monogamy event logic:
Faction A is friendly with Faction B.
Player is friendly with both Faction A and Faction B.
Faction A and Faction B are angry about this and both drop the player to Inhospitable.
Only cooperative seems to block it, which causes weird edge cases like this.
That's actually intentional, but a bit academic since it would make no difference in vanilla. A mod that put in nuanced diplomacy - at least, nuanced to the point where there'd be a difference to setting factions to "friendly" vs "cooperative" - could also replace the event entirely.
Added "radio chatter" sounds when near a market
Hehe, I like that one!
I'm shocked!
Stian actually found that video you put together and was, shall we say, rather enthused about getting this in the game. I think it turned out really well, too. So - thank you!
(Also Sindrian Diktat as a "major" faction seems a bit odd; I always "read" them as a mere single-system polity of limited importance in the Sector's grand scheme of things. Looks like all the modders thought so too, given they don't give it any new markets like they do for Hegemony/TT/the Church. The more you know!)
"Major" might be the wrong word here. In their case, it's more "suspicious and insular".
Is it possible to lower the reputation with a faction in a controlled manner to avoid that? Seems like it could get friendly without the player wanting it to, because he took advantage of food shortage events or bounties.
Sure - selling on the black market is one way. Another, more reliable way is to get caught with your transponder off. Establishing your "street cred", if you will.
Mh, it would be great to have some kind o feedback about our chances when smuggling. How much can I buy on the black market without raising suspicion? How much do I have to trade legally to cover things up? How about a rough "market authority suspicion level" indicator with a few green-yellow-red stages (e.g. inconspicuous, wary, under observation, highly suspicious).
Hmm. Yeah, this sounds like a very good idea. Not sure if I'll be able to sneak it in for this release, though.
