Use a friendly group and change the individual costumes to Remans. They'll play nice then.
A big drawback is that the ships will still fight like the "original" group, so either the Terran's won't use Phasersor the Remans won't use Disruptors and Plasma Torpedoes. (I think it's really that strong of a difference, I don't think the Terran Empire plays well with anyone, and Remans and Feds are hostile to each other.)
That's why I would prefer if it was possible to set allegience either this way:
- Default
- Always Hostile to Player Faction
- Always Neutral to all Factions
- Always Friendly to Player Faction
Maybe even better would be if we could specificy mission specific factions and could assign enemy groups these factions.
The current system (and even the one I proposed above) is severely limited.
An approach from another direction would be that one could set the "fighting style" seperately from the faction. So you could pick the Klingon faction for determining all allegiences, but set the weapon set to Breen and the costumes to an assortment of generic ships, to basically have a group of a "new" faction that fights similar to Breen but is hostile to Federation ships and allied to Klingons.
okay, i'm setting up a klingon mission and everytime i try and play the mission it says my toon isn't the right allegiance, when it is a klingon toon. what gives?

You need to make sure the initial entry point is in Klingon Space. It defaults to Earth Spacedock.
They all work correctly in foundry preview...when I publish and try it on the live side.
They don't do them.....they end up standing on thier consoles instead of sitting like intended.

Yeah, idle and chat animations are currently broke in published missions, unfortunately. Hopefully it gets fixed in the next update.
At first this information seems obvious. :rolleyes: However, as I write more and more stories for the foundry, this article makes more sense and is very useful.
Even though I've read and understood what each function is...I'm still lost...I'm trying to take one 1 NPC ship in Ambient without Combat to being Ambient With Combat...and I'm not seeing where I can choose to make it as one. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

I don't think you can. I've tried to do the same thing.
I've also noticed that when I put something in the text box for an enemy ship to say something when entering in battle, it says nothing. Perhaps ships are not meant to 'speak' ?
I'm not sure if it's co-incidence as I haven't had time to confirm it, but are objects that are "job enabled" the ones that have a red figurine indicating a positon on them? When I've enabled jobs, they do seem to correspond with those sorts of consoles.
Also, is it normal for an NPC to sprint between tasks? Is there some way to control this in a similar manner to "wander speed"? It seems pretty random, and I don't know if it's one of those hiccups that's filtered out by publishing or not.
Can 'wander path nodes' be set manually ? I'd like to setup a patrol route for my NPC with these nodes until the player interacts with him.
Currently when I setup my NPC to wander he remains stationary until the player ship interacts with him even tho I set the wander to yes, the speed pretty high, and the distance to long. I see there are marker nodes and was hoping they were usable for my purpose, but they didn't work.

Quick FYI, wandering doesn't work in preview, you have to test it in publish
What I want to know is how do you make a costume walk from point a to point b on the same map? And how do you go from on map to the other without bringing your away team?
1) there is a setting for npcs called patrol that lets you set path nodes. Otherwise you set them to wander and max out the points they wander to
2) not an option directly and I don't think the old 'set a spawn point at the edge of the map so your boffs spawn outside it's works anymore. Plus if you are grouped YOU will likely spawn outside the map

I thought it was a bug at first!
