Trade Receiver Satellites

New Update!  If you found Trade Receiver Satellite to be too strong in the early game, or maybe too expensive, check out our NEW Unstable Trade Receiver Satellites.  Now available at a fraction of the cost, but you get what you pay for - these satellites introduce some instability into your network and will randomly decay over a period of time.

ONE Unstable Trade Receiver Satellite will never decay.

A SECOND Unstable Trade Receiver Satellite will decay in 1440 minutes.

A THIRD Unstable Trade Receiver Satellite will decay in 720 minutes.

A FOURTH Unstable Trade Receiver Satellite will decay in 360 minutes.

A FIFTH Unstable Trade Receiver Satellite will decay in 180 minutes.

A SIXTH Unstable Trade Receiver Satellite will decay in 90 minutes.

A SEVENTH Unstable Trade Receiver Satellite will decay in 30 minutes.

An EIGHTH (or more) Unstable Trade Receiver Satellite will decay in 5 minutes.

What is a Trade Receiver Satellite, you may ask?

Trade Receiver Satellite is a new satellite added to the game that provides trade subscriptions to all stations in the sector, without giving vision.  This is a massive performance increase compared with dropping satellites on every station.  In sectors with a Trade Receiver Satellite your autotraders will automatically travel to stations in the fog of war to trade.

Seeing all the ships in all the sectors updated in real time can cause a ton of lag.  Now with Trade Receiver Satellite, you can enjoy all the same trade opportunities WITHOUT the lag.

I will be releasing a suite of satellites in the future, if you have any ideas for satellite/deployable mods, please pm me!

Future Plans

Datavault-Finding Satellite

Derelict-Finding Satellite

It shouldn't conflict with any other mods, message me if you find any conflicts.

To Install:

Unzip the archive into your root Extensions folder: Steam\steamapps\common\X4 Foundations\Extensions.

If Extensions is not there, just create it.

Windows 7 users will get a blackscreen if their mods are not packed into a .cat.  Pack your own .cats or update Windows.

Special thanks to iforgotmysocks and JackTheStripper for showing me the way!!
