NonMeeting of Minors via fly by

Post by thunderchero »

Hi Everyone,

I just did a quick test with vanilla. The "?" was a Pakled transport sitting over a federation system with no contact with Pakled.

So I would say for contact with a minor race it requires ship to ship or at home system encounter. This may be due to minors only have a single sector as their space.

EDIT; I also tested with same save with shipyard built and all types of scanners still no contact.

Very strange. I'd swear I've met minors in vanilla via "fly-by" before. I'll see if I can reproduce the effect. (If not, then I guess I'll just be eating crow for supper tonight. :P )

That's what I thought. As long as you have ship or scanner then they are picked up.
