thx its is fixed reinstalled the mod and the game that fixed it.

@CODEX I honestly don't know, but I believe that you'd need to revert to a save from before the plane was delivered to fix it. Once a craft is in the save there's no way to alter how many weapon mounts it has.

As for why it's not showing up correctly in the game there could be a lot of reasons for that, but most of them would be fixed by reinstalling the game and the mod to make sure everything is where it's supposed to be.

I don't think there's a way to fix it without loading an old save, so I hope you have one from before you finished building the plane.

@Comrade Dude, You're very welcome! I'm glad to hear it works with X:CE. If you like the Saracen you may want to look at my other mod that alters the Foxtrot to have a different weapon loadout :)

hi there- funnily enough I was wondering the exact same thing as Rambo. I recently got the game and have been absolutely addicted to it; I cannot wait for the sequel! Regardless, I can confirm that the Sacarren works with X:CE. Lorebot, I absolutely love this thing; its added tons of flavor to my Advanced run (I played my first campaign on normal). Thanks for creating/readding this all those years ago

Thank you for replying. Next time I'm playing this, I'll try to load it up and check it out.
Lorebot  [author] 1 Jan, 2022 @ 7:54pm 
@Rambo I can't say for sure since X:CE was released after my mod and I've never tested them. But from what I understand of X:CE there shouldn't be any issues using the mod since the mod doesn't change anything in the vanilla game and just uses existing assets to add the Saracen. If you try it out let me know :)
Rambo™ 1 Jan, 2022 @ 7:02pm 
Does this mod work with X:Community Edition?
Lorebot  [author] 3 Jun, 2021 @ 1:10am 
@Chadwick thanks for the comment! It's been a long time since I made this, it's nice to see people still using it :)
Chadwick 2 Jun, 2021 @ 2:59pm 
this mod actually fits so well, that i got confused and thought i modded the maurauder into the game instead thinking the saracen was a vanilla aircraft
Thumper 5 Jul, 2020 @ 10:07pm 
Found the problem the computer is using the original file and not the mod file.
Lorebot  [author] 1 Jul, 2020 @ 3:45pm 
@CM32CloudLeopard the Saracen does have its own assets in the game, but they're not included in the mod because they're included in the base game and just never used. If you're having issues with the wrong art being used I would reinstall your game because the correct assets may be missing or corrupted.
Thumper 1 Jul, 2020 @ 2:18pm 
Some problem, does sarsen have its own custom model because my sarsen just use a corsair model and only carry 2 guns.
Lorebot  [author] 14 May, 2020 @ 10:24am 
That is correct.
Gudabeg 14 May, 2020 @ 9:24am 
So is this essentially an upgraded foxtrot in the same way a corsair is an upgraded condor?
JustineNitemann 25 Nov, 2019 @ 9:12pm 
it has 1 HP becoz the mod xml file has "1" for its hit point value. You can manually alter the xml file with notepad and more importantly put the mod priority on top of fixes and X:CE base mod :AWAPilot:
Lorebot  [author] 22 Jun, 2017 @ 7:21pm 
@ODSTbag, I'm not familiar with the 'community edition' so I couldn't say.
ODSTbag337 22 Jun, 2017 @ 3:53pm 
does this mod work with the community edition?
Lorebot  [author] 15 Apr, 2017 @ 10:05pm 
Cpt. Rogers, that's a question better asked over at the dev's forums. They have a lot of resources and helpful people over there.
Cpt. Rogers 15 Apr, 2017 @ 8:09pm 
How do I go into the files to alter airplane's speed, or hp by the way?
Lorebot  [author] 25 Sep, 2016 @ 2:45pm 
@armedwithpuns then somethings wrong with your install because the ones in my game have a bit less health than marauders, I think it's 1800 but I'd have to load up the game to verify that. They can't combat roll by design, that's not a bug. I'd recommend you delete and reinstall the full game and the mod, the game files are known to become corrupt and act strangely over time.
Armedwithpuns 25 Sep, 2016 @ 11:50am 
yeah mate they only have 1 hp and they cannot combat roll
Lorebot  [author] 25 Sep, 2016 @ 9:41am 
@Armedwithpuns, I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to say there. Do you mean the Saracen only has 1 hp in your game? If so that's definitely a bug and not something I'm seeing in my own games.
Armedwithpuns 25 Sep, 2016 @ 6:15am 
yeah there seems to be no point for me, considering the fact that they only have one hitpoint, comapred to the mauraders 2,000
Greb 3 Aug, 2016 @ 1:09pm 
It's fun rolling a triple squadron of one Corsair, one Saracen and one Marauder together. It even makes me want to play the terrible air combat minigame, so thanks for that!

It's nice that nice people like you are activating the content we paid for via Kickstarter that the devs were too lazy/unconcerned to go back and fix. Just need someone to make Collosus armour and we're all set!
Lorebot  [author] 13 Jul, 2016 @ 9:36am 
@Luminouscus, My only suggestion is to reinstall the game and try again. The game hasn't been updated in a long while now and the mod still works fine on my end. I've had issues with the game collecting errors that can prevent mods from working properly even tho the rest of the game seems fine. If that doesn't work I'll double check things again on my end
Luminouscus 13 Jul, 2016 @ 4:13am 
hmm... mine only has one health and the display sgows the corsair... I'm not sure whats wrong... Any ideas?
EarlofBronze 30 Dec, 2015 @ 12:47am 
That worked thanks. interesting fact 3 Saracens bearing full fusion weapons equals 15 kilitons of explosives, the same as the bomb dropped on Hiroshima
Lorebot  [author] 29 Dec, 2015 @ 11:02pm 
@EarlofBronze, I've never heard of anything like that before. Without knowing if you're using any other mods me best suggestion would be to delete and redownload/install the game and then reinstall the mod.
EarlofBronze 29 Dec, 2015 @ 10:38pm 
I started a new game with this mod installed and when I researched the Saracren it was using the skin of the foxtrot and only had one small missile and one torpedo any Idea how to fix this
Lorebot  [author] 26 Dec, 2015 @ 6:42pm 
@Opposing, I'm not sure how the game deals with multiple mods all modifying the research trees...I haven't played with any mods that do that besides this one. Saddly I don't have time in my life right now to play much Xenonauts so I can't offer to test compatibility between CE (whatever that is) and my mods.
Opposing Farce 26 Dec, 2015 @ 12:18pm 
Which is entirely possible too. Just nothing else I had other than CE itself touches the research, not that this does a lot of that either. Just something to listen out for is all.
Lorebot  [author] 26 Dec, 2015 @ 11:11am 
@Opposing, I've never had that issue myself nor have I heard of it from anyone else. My understanding of the Xenonauts research tree is that to some extent things are random beyond a certain point. If that's true it's possible that you were just really unlucky.
Opposing Farce 26 Dec, 2015 @ 9:44am 
I think this mod affected my later research, as I beat the game but never got an option for any more advanced aircraft and I did every research item. All of them. Fusion reactors, black hole generators, etc.
Ltc. Frost 30 Sep, 2015 @ 12:14pm 
nice mod man
Lorebot  [author] 15 Sep, 2015 @ 3:25pm 
@a-tf, You're welcome :B1:
A-tf 15 Sep, 2015 @ 3:16pm 
Thank you for mod

@Goose Whimsey, PhD
how dare you refer to us europeans as "soldier's" or "knight's", we've worked long and hard to get rid of those abusive terms.
shame on you!
Goose Whimsey, PhD 13 Jun, 2015 @ 11:30pm 
It wouldnt offend people any more than referring to a European as a "soldier" or a "knight".
eevee gaming 1 Jun, 2015 @ 5:34pm 
If this had been added to the original release, it may have offended some people as "Saracen" is sometimes used in reference to Muslims and Arabs, though was originally meant to refer to any nomad.
Lorebot  [author] 1 Apr, 2015 @ 3:36pm 
The biggest problem with such a craft is the way the game handles autoresolve. Unless you disable autoresolve for air combat such a ship would seriously imbalance the game. Cannons count for a lot in the autoresolve equation and giving 2 to a ship turns it into a real monster, which is one of the issues that plagued the original Saracen design. On the other hand the amount of damage a ship can take has almost no bearing at all on the autoresolve equation.
Elektroniksupersonik 1 Apr, 2015 @ 1:50pm 
That's my story too, my idea of the thing in Xenonauts is it's supermanuverable, has 2 missiles and 2 guns, but can't take a beating.
Lorebot  [author] 31 Mar, 2015 @ 11:05pm 
Well, I had to look up the X-02 Wyvern to know what you're talkin about. Now that I know it's a plane from Ace Combat and that it looks really damn cool I think it'd be pretty nifty to put it in a mod for Xenonauts. The trouble is that it has no existing art assets in the game so someone would have to make a whole lot of stuff to do it. I'm just a codemonkey, not an artist, so it's a bit outside my area of expertise.
Elektroniksupersonik 31 Mar, 2015 @ 8:58pm 
Someone please make a X-02 Wyvern mod.
retakrew7 29 Mar, 2015 @ 12:20pm 
nice work!
Axlw 28 Mar, 2015 @ 2:46pm 
Saracen? Kind of an odd name for the devs to choose. Good use of it, though.
nameless66 28 Mar, 2015 @ 10:42am 
thx for the mods
Lorebot  [author] 27 Mar, 2015 @ 9:53pm 
Well, when the Saracen was first introduced during the dev process it was supposed to be a super agile fighter with 2 cannons and no missiles. I guess the devs didn't like or play much with the 'bomber' style of air combat so they kind of ignored it or didn't think it was worth including. The original Saracen didn't really fit in well in the grand scheme of things as ANOTHER fighter since there were already 3 of them all doing pretty much the same thing so they cut it from the game. It always frustrated me though that they never made a direct replacement for the Foxtrot, something that was faster than your other ships but couldn't combat roll in exchange for heavy hardpoints. So when I got the chance I made one :B1:
questknight12 27 Mar, 2015 @ 8:41pm 
With the gunslingers being the Corsair III, and the Foxtrot being the torpedoe bomber, it makes scense to add an existing torpedoe bomber to the game and not just cut it. The next time we see a torp bomber is with the Maurader and it carries a single cannon as well, and finally, we have the Fury-class hunter killer.
Grantimus 27 Mar, 2015 @ 5:47pm 
Hey guys. If you replace the line >AlienAlloys(AND)CorsairInterceptor< with whatever you are currently researching it will show up after you finish that project. Also I'm not sure that is the Exact line and format. And Thank you lorebot for bringing us another jet to play with.
