Magnetar TODO

[nikothedude]

Lore of the system

• Mothership detached off the fucked up gate hauler in search of repairs

• Found the magnetar, got disabled

• Was carrying the throne of deridition as the domain wanted to take it away from the cultists but wanted to keep it as leverage so they hid it

• Was once a derelict hotspot, but omega came and subsumed all the AI and is in control

• • Trying to make more omega?

Contents of the system

• Add pulses (DONE)
• Add magnetar field
• • Increase the sensor profile reduction of stuff inside it, to better hide the stuff inside
• Add patrolling fleets
• • Will likely be patrolling within the magnetar field
• • Circular patrol
• • Immune to the pulses
• • Derelict/Omega theme (faction and fleet mixing method already made)
• Goodies within the magnetar field (the highest quantity of goodies is close to the magnetar)
• • Need to hack them to get? Use Wait rule for this? Takes like 2.5 days so you have to time it well or interdict?
• • • Maybe have interdiction increase y our sensor profile a lot more or something so its something you dont want to do due to patrols
• • • The first time will require some extra finangling to get a ICEpick to crack the encryption
• Some stuff outside the magnetar field (most easily accessable)

UX

• Make it spooker by limiting info
• • All the player needs to initially know is that interdicting and planets block the pulses, and that the magnetar is super dangerous to get close to
• • Is there really a way to limit info effectively without limiting the above stuff?
• Finish the sierra dialogue for if you get sucked into the magnetar (both during and after)
• Maybe re-order the order of things so that theres a beacon outside the system, and if you examine it, you get the tactical report + different dialogue

Questline

• High-level questline
• Kanta-based
• Go to kanta, they give you a wormhole/coordinates of the system, you go into it and find some furniture (use the unused commodity icon) and bring it back
• If you didnt kill loke, kanta puts loke in a chair and is happy
• If you did kill loke, kanta ambushes your fleet

Loot

• Omega weapons (NOT FROM THE FLEETS MF)
• Questline reward: Credits (if kanta likes you), Atlas Mk2. Kanta (very powerful ship, one-of-a-kind) ^ The two here are insufficient

  Ideas

• Special industries (Thats what MPC is for baby)
• Pilotable buffed-up tesseract
• New ability (Allows you to trigger a small magnetar pulse around you? Doesnt do much damage, just disables drive field)

QUESTLINE STUFF

After galatia questline, and level 14 or so, and got the wormhole scanner...

Goons appear in a piraet bar, direct you to kanta

Kanta doesnt like you much but recognizes youre the only fleet with a wormhole scanner so they give you a wormhole terminus they recovered from a contracted scavenger fleet (ALTERNATIVELY: Spawn a debris field in some system you have to go to to get the terminus) to recover an artifact

• Extra dialogue if you raided for zial or killed loke
• Maybe if you have a deal with kanta?

Wormhole goes to magnetar system

Artifact (a fucking chair) is in some imporant place (Omega mothership?)

Return with chair

Give chair to kanta

• Can demand payment first, kanta says no
• If kanta resentful, kanta doesnt give you the atlas mk3
• • Instead she tries to arrest you and ambushes your fleet, forcing a fight with a fleet and her station
• • Get no extra goodies this way
• How to get ship: Either its docked, or its part of a fleet (If resentful, this is the fleet that comes to fight you)

[nikothedude]

re-visit kanta's dialogue tree, apparantly you can jsut take a shtutle down to visit kanta if you've visited her before. weird

[nikothedude]

for some reason the mothership fleet isnt spawning with oemga stuff, this could be a big problem with the rest of the fleets

FIXED

[nikothedude]

TODO: try to change the variant fixer listener to the actual option, try to replace the inflater and add no variant etc, i am seriously unhappy with the listener solution even if it is performant (save bloat much?)

the typical method (inflating then nulling inflater after making the derelict fleet) should work. it really should. but for some reason it also removes the hullmod and it pisses me off

[nikothedude]

if the mothership is disabled, force all fleets to drive into the magnetar and kill themselves (its badass)
