Righto, so, how do I unlock the quest and where? Been looking everywhere and found nothing

Is it activated?
is the game date at cycle 207 or later?
did you check non-path/pirate bar?
(content spoiler warning)

Spoiler

do/did you refrain from satbombing?

[close]

if all answers are "yes" and you're still unable to start First Arrival quest, something is not right...

Noticed an inconsistency, the Evolved Ceran Saviors are described as kinetic weapons during the quest dialogue text, but the actual weapon received is a high explosive type weapon.

I'll correct the text next update, but the damage-type being HE unlike the green and red saviors is intended. Thanks for the heads-up.

Went back to take a look at the original Sunrider game, I'd completely forgotten that that series referred to their ships' ballistic cannons as 'Kinetics'. So I guess Ava's technically being consistent with her source material when she refers to the Sunrider's batteries as kinetic cannons.

It's only confusing when thinking about it in terms of Starsector's mechanics.

Hi! I noticed that the pirate ryder missile launcher has a burst of 4 missiles, but an ammo capacity of 9. I was wondering if this was intentional?

I just finished the Origin quest, so uh is that is only for now in this version or there are more? that i just havent found yet

[Ramiel]

Just to repeat, I really appreciate Ava being a character, with her own set of morals and beliefs....

I was a moron and didn't notice the 207 cycle requirement, it works just fine lmfao.

I got a question about the mod. Would it be possible to just have a Sunrider and not the other ships? Don't get me wrong, you're doing a fine job on the graphic. I just develop a headcanon that only Sunrider was transported to Persean Sector.

Folks, I wanted to release the 0.4 update before the end of February, but two things said nope:
One is that the document with all the text for the 4th quest has more than 3 thousand words right now, but it's not even finished yet.
And I had three weeks of night work shift in a row... quite brutal.

If I were to do that, then I'd have not done anything past 0.1.x update, and the planned quest chain would have to be almost completely discarded. No, the Sunrider is far from the only ship warped here in one or two pieces, and Ava is not the only person that made it here alive either.

But if you want the other ships gone anyway, simply delete the "world" folder in mod files and never learn PACT or Solar Alliance blueprint packages ingame.

Hey boss dont worry your health is the most important thing to look after, trust from a guy who works in up to 120F heat in the middle east on 12 hr shifts (I really need to change my job). Plus its important to keep a good pace dont want to have burn out because you want to meet a deadline.

Ah, ha. Thank you for the answer! Take care of yourself!

0.4 Changelog

Added crossmod interaction with PAGSM: if you have at least 30 reputation with Yunris Kween, Origins can be completed through her at the cost of 1 gamma core. If she has given you the Iapetus 20000, she'll do it for free.

New quest: "Nightmare Breakdown", can trigger on any market 40 days after First Arrival is completed. No objectives, or anything to do; you simply talk to Ava about the enemies encountered in First Arrival.

Sunrider spawn distance reduced from 25-40 to 20-30 ly;

Delay between First Arrival's end and Origins' start increased from 45 to 120 days; Origins does not require Nightmare Breakdown to have occurred, and both can be active simultaneously.

New quest: "Son of Iniquity", has a battle harder than First Arrival, delay from Origins is 30 days, will end in the same market it started, regardless of the faction and is a big *ss example of what VNSector means.
