Fast Manticore

Anyway, just want to say, X4 7.0 should have fixed the OOS scrap delivery problem, so this mod may be used again with no problems now.

I got some data when testing my scrap mod with this mod turned on; while in vanilla game, the scrap cubes are delivered when it is within 1km of the scrap processor, if I turn this mod on, the distances can range from just slightly about 1km to I think 17km... which fails the OOS scrap delivery.

tbh I dont have much idea on what is going on here.

But some approaches I can think of:
- dont reduce the drag too much, make the scrap cubes more likely to be in range
- add a small delay before Manticores drop their scrap cube, to hopefully let the game drag the OOS scrap cube to the correct place

Thank you pointing out this issue. I'll try to look into it but so far I've been making mods that only changes defines and I currently have little idea how to fix things like this. So feel free to make patches and upload :)

It seems the low drag messes with the OOS scrap delivery calculations.

Hi there, I noticed a problem while using Fast Manticores:

Indeed, the Manticores are moving faster than before, but at the same time, it becomes more difficult for them to deliver scrap. Checking the game logs revealed that when the Manticores are about to deliver scrap, the game thinks the scrap cubes are too far away and will retry delivery.

Haven't played X4 in a while, but this mod only changed a few lines of code.

Is this compatible with 6.x? Feel like subscribing but still afraid of new bugs 6.0 introduced.

It shouldn't

need a new game to make it work?

Interesting. iirc in X2 The Threat, the planets were part of the skybox. It's cool they're actually modeled in now. Still can't land on planets outside of a cutscene though. :(

Thanks for the mod
