Roguey's UFJD Mini-Mod

Are you bored with the special unknown sectors? Are you finding nothing of value there? Well this small mini-mod addresses this by adding countless new items to unknown areas. These include ships to board (M1/2/6/7 etc), crates (including weapons, shields, food and more) and more danger from Xenon and Khaak! Now you can put ur Aran to more use by boarding free ships and docking them at the Aran to get them out of there (you could use a TP to board).

The mod should work fine with X3AP, and it should be okay with X3TC. The only problem being that ships added from X3AP will be replaced with a Argon TL.

[Update] 06/11/2013: The mod has now been updated for X3AP v3.0
[Update] 24/03/2014: Mini-mod information added here, with link,

How to Install

There are two ways you can install this mod, as a mod or has a fake patch:

Mod

All you need to do is place the two files into your X3AP mods folder, which is found usually:

Steam\SteamApps\common\x3 terran conflict\addon\mods

The start X3AP, on the front screen select 'Select mod package' and select Roguey-UFJD (this will only need to be done once),

Fake patch

This allows you to run the mini-mod with other mods. To do this rename the cat/dat to the next free number in:

Steam\SteamApps\common\x3 terran conflict\addon

ie. 04.dat, 04.cat

As long as a hostile #DECA is around that you can board, I will be happy. Better yet if it has a proper xenon escort.

I have added it to the possible random free boardable ships list now - it wasnt in the list before. Re-download the mod and replace.

Thanks. I'll try it out when I get home.

Did you consider the fact that some ships will not be able to dock at the Aran with the player in-sector?

Will the #DECA dock at the Aran when the player is in sector (is that the giant "CPU Ship"?)

I know there are several ships which have this problem.

I don't care if it's trial and error. Either way I'm excited to try it out... just a couple more Steam Achievements...

I never tested docking of each ship - although usually getting the AI to dock solves the problem? can the deca dock when ordered to dock at the Aran?

Hmm.

I just tried a few ships and I was wrong.

I could have sworn this was a problem.

Megolodon has a similar interference.

But I just tried it and it docks/undocks despite the obvious interference.

That must be something they fixed since I first tried it in TC. I know I have lost MANY ships from colliding with the Aran at one point, so much so, I have made it habit to never dock ANYTHING at an Aran while I am IS unless it has a docking computer.

---

That said, while I was thinking about this mod last night, thinking it might mean giving up an Aran to get something else, I thought to myself "what would be so valuable as to be worth sacrificing an Aran to get it?" and the answer I came up with was an Atmospheric Lifter with a Wraith fab and associated bio/food factories... I'd give up my Aran completely if I could get those things... even better if I DON'T have to give up my Aran... I'd definitely give up an M7 to get that - although the Atmo is unarmed so it's pretty easy to cap with lesser equipment.

Just throwing that out as a suggestion for something that would be incredibly awesome to find after a long search of some unknown sectors...

Lot's of people love the Hyperion. And it's a nice ship to put your Pansdoras on (another Unknown Sector Goodie). Wraiths are the icing on the cake. The perfect thing to find in another Unknown...

Why do you need to sacrifice an Aran? If you jump to a UFJD area with the Aran with a TP (for boarding) and a few M6's for fighting, then youre leave the capital dock point empty for any ship you find/board. The Aran then can be used to get all your ships back home. If anything this makes more use of the Aran - not to make you get rid off it.

I'm sorry, I've made a mess of your thread...

When I posted asking about whether you'd considered whether the ships you were spawning could dock at an Aran, I was under the impression that several of the big ships would collide when you tried to dock them at the Aran.

So finding these ships would be a tradeoff. They'd have to be pretty awesome to be worth leaving an Aran to be destroyed in the UFJD sector...

So I was trying to think of a ship that would be worth giving up an Aran to get. Sort of the ULTIMATE thing to find in a UFJD sector. Something where the player would have to make a decision about which they wanted to keep more. And the only thing I could come up with was an Atmo (which I know has visual intereferences with the Aran which I thought would be fatal if the player was IS when it docked) filled with the things necessary to make Wraiths...

IF I had found that in an UFJD sector I would give up an Aran to take it.

But I was wrong about the docking interference being fatal - so it doesn't require that tradeoff.

I agree this mod will make the Aran more useful. I am excited to try it I just want to get a couple more Steam Achievements first.

I was just trying to suggest my idea of the ULTIMATE loot to find. And to me, the Wraith/Atmo would be AWESOME to find, even if it DID mean leaving the Aran... which it doesn't...

No worries, as they all good questions: how do you get good ships out of UFJD areas.

as for for the mod, its a shame such a small mod changes the game to a modified one: which I guess stops you from getting Steam Achievements?

Like UFJD very much.
Does it work together with MARS? (I like the idea of having control over the turrets pre-battle so I know what to expect in full battle and can concentrate on other things)
Is there anywhere a list with say "compatible" mods ?

Roguey

Well the mini-mod only changes one file, so less thats been changed in another mod then it should work fine with other mods.

I think this s g.reat idea. If you take a second jump drive line a M7 .then you leave

So I'm usually a Vanilla gamer, since when I get my hands on mods I find it hard to resist going cheat happy, but this one looks interesting. I have a couple of questions though:

1. Is there a fuller list of ships which can be found in the sectors, particularly non-purchasable ones e.g. Goner Ozias?
2. Same for items, such as PALC or Kyon Emitters
3. Can second Arans spawn, or are they still limited to one?
4. Do ships have the hidden tag. If so, does the detector software find them?

Thanks in advance for any responses.
