XPiratez / Re: Is there any way of dealing with multiple mining missions spawning at once?

Yeah seems like that and the mining missions all at once. I'll probably just have to take the loss this month and hope I can recover it next time around.

Thanks for the help!

First off, love this mod, probably one of the best games I've played in years!

I do keep having to restart though, which is usually no problem for me but this current run was going incredibly well until April 2601 when I'm suddenly getting -1500 Infamy by the 10th... This is on difficulty 3 (I really like the amount of battlescape enemies on this difficulty but somehow the strategic side is pretty fierce even at the very start of the game). Had a look through the forum here and tried a few things but I'm still not sure I'm getting what's happening here.

I've reloaded this one several times, trying to send out expeditions to find these missions that are causing the drastic score loss but by the time I have the month seems totally lost.

I had a look through the forum and seems people know how to deal with this, can anybody give me some help? I'm probably going to reduce the difficulty a bit but it seems a shame because other than these random score drops I think it feels about right.
