Description
Merchant Marine: Assistant
ID: 2853002598

Description
Merchant Marine: Assistant adds Thuvia, a contact who provides several cheat or helping functions. She offers credits, experience, ship combat, crew combat, and super soldiers. Thuvia is created at the first urban zone the player lands at the start of a new game. If the player adds the mod to an preexisting game, then she will be added per normal vignette rules (she may take a while to show up). Thuvia has minimal impact on the game unless the player interacts with her directly, so feel free to add her even if you don't need her immediately.

Merchant Marine: Assistant is a stand alone mod, it does not require any other mods including Mechant Marine. It shouldn't interact with any other mods, so it has no priority requirements. Id collisions will cause it to break per normal mod restrictions.

Likely a linux related issue, perhaps.

I'm not able to replicate. I'm seeing her spawn correctly. Are you landing at a zone?

I activated your list of mods in the specified order and create a couple of different captains with different templates. Thuvia spawned correctly in each case.

Thanks for reply - I know things have slowed down here etc. So I currently play with this mod loadout:

I have Merchant Marine: Assistant loaded last, though it shouldn't matter, no errors or glitches just no "assistant contact" appearance in initial map at all.

I just tested it and it loaded fine. Can you verify that it is broken on your end and then provide details so I can try to replicate it?

At some point this mod stopped working likely due to game updates - the merchant no longer spawns in game :steamsad:

@bennyT8 Thanks! for the info on QM.

I've put it on my todo list. Cheers.

Great mod. Invaluable to set up a run like I want to. My request, if not too much to ask, could the contact offer more jobs as super soldiers? Eg. Super Bounty Hunter, Super Xeno Scourge, etc.

You'd want to setup a programmatic environment to build the code for this, because writing it by hand and keeping everything linked would be a massive headache. You'd also need to be able to rebuild it automatically while testing and bugfixing. I don't have the time and interest to do it myself, but this is one of the most highly requested features for STF.

If you are interested in a neat project, you can extend the framework I developed in this mod to build an entire academy out of Thuvia. Setup triggers for her to allow you to recruit every single job (officer and crew) at varying levels of attribute and skill bonuses. Gate them behind unlocks. Also add a function to move Thuvia around the galaxy to prevent her from being locked to a single random location.

The end result is that, as a captain, you could pay Thuvia to start a starship crew academy for you. You'd pay her more to unlock various jobs and to increase the quality of the candidates. Then you'd have access to recruit from the academy. Each specific job/quality/etc recruit would have the same name/traits/image.
