Internal Affairs is a lightweight minimod that adds one new simple event found in Tri-Tachyon bars, that you can complete once per playthrough. You'll be tasked with tracking down a disgraced executive. Good hunting!

This mod was created using the new 0.95a method of creating quests and missions, and is primarily created as a proof-of-concept and an example for modders.
The source code is included and you're free to use it to better understand how to make your own campaign content. I've done my best to comment the mission's plugin thoroughly.

Click on the big banner above to download. This mod doesn't require any others. Should be save compatible.

Here's a screenshot:

Example mod for the new mission system! Fantastic!

[shoi]

This looks like it'll be useful. Thanks!

I vaguely recall this being a bounty issue in general, but I had this magically complete about halfway to the first objective. Hopefully I didn't miss much juicy writing, at least?

Oh, hmm, this might be an issue on my end. Uploaded a quick hotfix.

[Darloth]

If you've uploaded a hotfix, can you change the version number please?

I can confirm you have indeed changed the jar file, but it was basically impossible to tell until I ran a comparison tool on the two to make sure I hadn't downloaded the wrong thing or the link was out of date or something

There is a conflicting error with the Vanilla repeatable Bar Quest (Pirate Fleet Bounty) "Talk to the man haranguing the official about the increased pirate rads" disabling Internal Affairs makes the Mission work but the game crashes after a while.

The Error is (ERROR: no rule found for option psb_startBar, adding a failsafe option to exit dialog) attached two screenshots with and without the mod.

I guess it is not possible to just disable the Mod.

I am also getting this error.

Further, the Internal Affairs mission shows up when asking contacts for missions. I don't like it because I have no idea how long it will take to complete, or how far the second stage will take me, which messes with my route planning when trying to optimize to farm rep with a contact.

I'm glad to see you doing proof of concept on these, and maybe figuring out how to avoid these errors and sharing will help the rest of us with later mods?

Same issue... never realized that mission is supposed to be vanilla so I ignored the error.

[Inventor Raccoon]

Hi, released version 1.1 with a fix for this issue, apologies for any inconvenience.

[Arcagnello]

It's nice to see mods starting to use the new 0.95 tools! I'll install this bad boy for my next campaign!
Questions:
1)Does the mission scale with the years/your fleet size to become harder as the game progresses?
2)Is the fleet handcrafted? How many Officered Paragons with 3 integrated Hullmods does it have?
3)Do you plan to (eventually) expand this minimod to include more missions (maybe even for more factions) or is this going to remain a proof-of-concept?
