Mission: Torus Aeternal - egosoft.com (2024)

I got to the Torus segment undetected per mission requirement and started exploring, unlocking doors, etc...

Then TER police started showing up outside the Torus to scan my cargo through the Torus. I figured they'd go away but they kept hovering around outside. When I got to the part where you have to take out security turrets everything went hostile and called reinforcements.

I defeated the turrets that are part of the mission but there's a swarm of angry Terran ships that won't go away and are trying to clip through the Torus to get to me... makes it a little difficult to continue exploring.

Edit: I reloaded from an earlier autosave and started exploring the Torus again. Everything was fine until I unlocked the last door before the turrets. The moment the Torus goes hostile a whole bunch of sector security shows up on radar.
For reference, this is the point where ships show up to ruin my exploration. https://youtu.be/QLTZW2LA094?t=591 (not actual recording of my playthrough, just for reference.)

Being pounced by sector security is making this mission impossible to complete.

I remember that there was angry Terran ships outside but it didn't prevent me to continue exploration task.
Terran ships stayed outside and when I needed go out from station I just flied using travel drive to far from enemies.

So what's to show stopper precisely here?

The show stopper is as I progress through the Torus a massive fleet of hostile ships descends on me. They clip through the Torus to attack and destroy the Geometric Owl.

The moment I unlock the last door before the turrets this happens -> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-7WJgZ ... sp=sharing

The threat response escalates the longer I am there. Trying to find a solution I've read ahead a little and know there's a switch puzzle I haven't gotten to yet. Not sure how I'm supposed to do that while the whole of the Terran military is trying to destroy me.

I've watched a few YouTube playthroughs of this section and it seems like this isn't supposed to happen.

Ok, so I reloaded and just teleported away from the ship without continuing further. Turns out, there's a random Terran fleet patrolling right past the Torus at the same time I'm exploring. Since I'm not exactly on the best terms with the Terrans (-15 rep) they attack on "sight". The problem seems totally coincidental.

I'm probably going to have to go back to my autosave at The Moon and just abandon this mission until later.

You'll need +20 until have access to Moon & Earth. With +10 you get access to Mercury, Venus and Mars.

You mension your game is modified. Have you checked if the mods you're using could cause this problem or is "modified" just tagged at some point during the gameplay (caused by X4 itself)?

If it's just save have tagged as modified but no real mods in use then it might really be issue with version 5.10.
I played that through using version 4.20 (haven't upgraded to 5.xx due there seems to be multiple issues based on the forum).
