Bug or mechanic (spoiler)

Post by Gorofin »

Hello,

after the rift events, I found a damaged shakturi battleship as an event. There was some text while entering it, but I can not reconstruct it directly. It is in the Abandoned Ships and Bases list repairable, but around 20 years later they never repaired it :? .

So, bug or feature ?

All DLCs, no Mods, Files repaired via steam (and found 5, but that was before that event).

I think there's a few Shakturi events that relate to specific races. Do you have the event? What race are you playing and what races are near that area of space?

It is in my neighbor's space, Zenox. My race is Zenox, too.
The Shakturi got an of "+10 Your explored our abandoned ship" for their attitude :shock: .

It is likely the other Zenox faction got the event, then because you are also Zenox you got the benefit.

If the event is finished, then it's a bug.
I can not repair the ship directly (which is odd to the normal behave), and the repairs via Abandoned Ships and Bases list is accepted but not executed.

Use that ship for target practice to improve ship combat skills.
