Main Plot Fix - No Destruction

Notice regarding future updates

 vvv

I'm not using this mod myself and don't intend to update or check if it still works. Feel free to post in the comments if it works or what needs to change to make it work, so others might profit from your insight. Better yet: Feel free to take over, give some credit if you like and link to your mod in the comments =)

SPOILER WARNING

Below you may or may not read details about the (very short) main plot of the game.

If you didn't start it yet, or didn't encounter any problems, please do not read on.

Update 2021-09-15

Target version: 4. 10

Not sure why, but I decided to update the mod for X4 version 4. 10, even tho I'm not even sure if the issue is still around. Anyhow - in case you still got a bugged save or just want to keep your extra ship around... here's an update. Enjoy!

Bug report: Official Forum » Fehler im "Main Plot" (Spoiler!) « Do not read if you don't want to know the mission reward!

The HQ-Mission script tends to sometimes destroy the wrong ship, becaues it doesn't check which ship is at the target position and it doesn't check if the ship contains the prerequisite wares before destruction.

This mod is a crude hotfix that will remove the destruction of the ship altogether, so the player can continue with the mission. Egosoft will probably fix this in a later update, but it's the end of year, nobody's working and... players want proceed! Players want proceed nao!

This mod does nothing else.

It will work even if you just saved right before the explosion took place (like I did once) and may save your current game's progress. Consider to endorse this mod, if it helped you out of this situation :-)

Please be aware that by using this mod you will be banned from the Beta of the Online-Feature Expeditions. We do not currently know if modified games will be allowed to participate in the future. Using mods - even if they only intend to fix bugs - will flag your save game as modified and until Egosoft implements an online filter to support modified games, you will not be able to send ships onto expeditions into other player's games. Scram those online features I say, if they divide the community into some vanilla versus modified battleground. Nuff said.
