1.2.1

This update removes support for all Endless Sky versions prior to 0.10.13, including all versions of Endless Sky Delta. If your version of Endless Sky is older than 0.10.13, uninstall the plugin, as Main Plot Plus version 1.2 has a game breaking bug.

We got Silksong before Main Plot Plus 1.2.1.

This is a minor update primarily bringing compatibility to 0.10.13 and fixing a game breaking bug reported on Discord.

Changes:

• Updated the free worlds patched missions to reflect changes in vanilla, especially those to fleet compositions
• Gave the drone aerie four bays to match the new fighter version, and added it to the Omnis planets
• Further buffed the augmented nukes by adding massive ionization and scrambling damage on hit
• Switched autorestocking to the new system
• Completing the pact recon chain now counts as assisting the free worlds, increasing the offer rate on the other missions and allowing FW Escort to offer immediately
• Gave all plugin outfits series for compatibility with the new sorting system in vanilla
• Removed all Hai Reveal patch missions besides those used in the neutrality campaign
• Made improvements to the wording for free worlds checkmate missions, especially the ending mission and the epilogue missions
• Gave necessary missions non-blocking
• Fixed guided start, which was broken in 1.2 and did not offer at all
• Added a remind me later feature to guided start, so you can dismiss this and all helper missions for 30 days if you want to do other campaigns such as the Avgi campaign first

1.2

This update removes support for Mega Freight Battles. If you have Mega Freight Battles, either do not update, or uninstall the plugin.

Welcome to Main Plot Plus 1.2! This is a major update featuring numerous changes to existing features intended to increase quality of life, along with a few new ones inherited from my now defunct private plugin “Side Plot Plus.”

Changes include:

• A much more polished fast forward start that allows you to skip most of the beginning
  • This start is now locked so that you can only use it once you have reached the point it skips to at least once in game
• Easier activation of guided start indicators, as you can now activate them without departing the planet
• Decreased difficulty in starting neutrality
  • You can no longer decline the first neutrality mission. If you do not want to do neutrality, tell the person a different side.
  • Added numerous other conditions to trigger the first neutrality mission besides having to wait ten years in game, that imply that you have interacted with the game in some way for some time.
• A subsidurial pet as a reward for completion of the neutrality campaign
• Compatibility with the Omnis cheat plugin along with the All Content Plugin
• The ability to resupply ammo from any outfitter
  • This can be fully disabled or restricted to exclude powerful ammo like nukes, finishers, or firelights
  • Some ammunition, most notably the nuclear missile and Ka'het MHD Generator, is excluded due to having other uses besides ammo
• Further buffs to the augmented nuclear missile
  • This is now known as a “Mark II” nuke which means the name can be fully read in the outfitter
  • The nuclear missile is “safer,” i.e. less likely to blow up when it misses its target
  • I have incorporated Amazinite’s launcher idea but with the buffed nukes as ammo, so that the ammo can be replenished
  • These nukes are constrained mostly by outfit space, with nuclear installation chips to tell the game how much to restock at the outfitter
• Job board missions to change the swizzle of your ship or display your armament deterrence, cargo attraction, and local reputation
• An updated prompt system which uses a single mission that can be called at any time and is always called when first loading the plugin
  • This lets you choose whether or not to enable paint jobs, security jobs, auto-restock, and guided start, individually
• An easier Liberate Delta Sagittarii battle, using balance changes made by Saugia on stream
• Extra flavor text during one of the Han Sizer Month jobs, which was made by Zitchas in a PR that was rejected by the devs
• Numerous bug fixes and tweaks, many of which were caught by newly added integration tests

1.1.1

Main Plot Plus 1.1.1 is here!

This update brings compatibility with the latest version of Endless Sky. This update also lets you complete the Hai side missions blocked when Hai Reveal is started, after you have completed the introduction.

Changes:

• Unlocked Hai Reveal side missions, including Turner Incorporated, but excluding the Hai Rescue missions (should be compatible with most other plugins unlocking these missions, with one notable edge case)
• Changed the gender in “War Reactions: Syndicate Orphan” to match endless-sky/endless-sky#8972
• Added compatibility with changes made in endless-sky/endless-sky@c19279e, which adds the ability to start in Hai space
• Updated the Free Worlds patched missions to their current versions as of Endless Sky v0.10.10

1.1

The first “major” update to Main Plot Plus, 1.1, is here! The main focuses of 1.1 were increasing compatibility with various configurations of the game and adding additional improvements to the Free Worlds campaign:

Changes:
-Added basic compatibility with Mega Freight Battles, which conflicts with this plugin
-Added compatibility with Endless Sky Delta by giving the person ship a thruster and steering slot
-Improved the UX when uninstalling or disabling Main Plot Plus (see 57d9775 for more details)
-Updated the end of Amazinite’s checkmate rework to include changes made in 0.10.7
-Added additional plugin attributes for use in Endless Sky 0.10.7 or later
-Made both regular nukes and augmented nukes 10x cheaper; they now only cost 100,000 credits each
-Updated Ryk Bartlett’s ship to use the Bounty government, so you now have to destroy it yourself
-Gave the person ship surveillance and removed the ability for Author government ships to fine you
-Made further improvements to the logic of the neutrality plotline
-Fixed a typo preventing FW Liberate Delta Sagittarii from actually being disabled
-Additional tweaks and bug fixes

1.0.1.1

This is a minor update, mainly focusing on a few tweaks from updates 1.0 and 1.0.1:
-When asking the receptionist about the pug, immediately asking why there are humans on an alien planet jumps straight to a slightly altered description of the pug invasion, as it did when the plugin was first in development, allowing you to skip most of the conversation
-You can no longer ask why the spaceport authorities let you land if you have enough reputation to land without needing clearance
-The Syndicate now grants access to their technology at the start of checkmate rather than near the end

1.0.1

Main Plot Plus 1.0.1 is here! This update is mostly to make the endless sky plugins bot happy, but as I wanted it to contain something I gave myself a person ship.
