I think I ran into a small bug with the engineering system. I bought a scrap recovery arm at a shop, and on an empty beacon I got the option to build another arm, which was described as scrap recovery in the flavour text. But after choosing this option I ended up with a shield charge booster instead. I guess the outcome for this event just gives the player the wrong aug. This was on 1.095 though, perhaps it´s already fixed in 1.095b. I will try this asap

Oh by the way: Is there anything that can be done to make nebula exit beacons less of a waste of an opportunity?

It is a purposely super-OP ship (based on Kestrel) that Sleeper use for testing purposes. From time to time, it "sneaks" out and goes to trip into released version of CE&friends. Until Sleepy catches him and banish into testing plane, again.

Oh yes! That would be lovely! I heard that was fixed in another mod already

There certainly is, but there is also a developer comment in the files that says calling a list from this event resulted in some odd behaviour. So I did not try messing around with it so far. Might still happen.

Player ship addon will override the ship. You wouldn't have had much fun I'd assume, I think it had a pretty odd load-out equipped.


More engineering options. Engi A and B now also have some from the start. The Improved Internal AI (aka Drone Reactor Booster) provides some pretty broad drone construction options. Even other ships might consider getting it from time to time now, boosted System Repair Drones can be really handy. Some other augments provide new options as well now.

1.095c
- A few enemies can deploy Recon Drones now, purely for flavour
- Scrap Arm engineering option has the crew produce what they are told now
- New engineering options added
- Drone Reactor Booster renamed to "Improved Internal AI", for coherency reasons
- Pharmaceuticals no longer sell good in civilian sectors
- Player Ship Addon updated

Dang, I can't keep up with these updates!

And thick and fast they came at last,
And more, and more, and more

that's odd I have the most recent player ship addon installed but I still have that ship. was very strange seeing it for the first time.
so why is it still there if I have the addon installed?

I will be there if you load the player ship addon before CE. I also managed to forget removing it once more right away. This time with dysfunctional shield projectors...


1.095d
- Dammit Testrel, leave us alone!

Scout Drones, eh? Why not give some to the 1st stage Flagship, just so the drone system doesn't sit around doing nothin'?

And while we're at it, you could try to standarise its engine power across all three stages, but disabling the necessary bars on the first and maybe second stage. Just for flavour reasons, again.
