Faction oath and a templar assault question

[pendell]

So here I am playing a bounty hunter for House Thulun. I have rank 18 with them and rank 1 with everyone else except Rychert, with whom I am a wanted criminal.  

Anyways, four times now I have run a mission for devaltos against independent star traders and Thulun has demoted me a rank for "faction oath violated". 

Double checked the faction conflicts .  Thulan and De Valtos are not currently in any kind of conflict.  This only happens with De Valtos. I can still run missions for Cadar without a problem. 

Might the mission actually be against Thulun?  But this has happened four separate times over multiple years. I have a hard time believing ALL of the missions were secretly against Thulun. What gives? Once you rise up high enough in rank, you get punished for taking a job for another faction? Then why doesn't Thulun get angry when I run a mission for Cadar Syndicate? 

Also, I gave into temptation and purchased templar assault.  I went to the playstore and told it to 'install'. I still have it marked as 'installing' despite the fact that I have had the game for multiple days.  I've uninstalled a ton of kindle books using the 4gl connection so I know my connection's fine. What gives?

I'll look into the Conflict thing -- the code has been checked and re-checked but I will look for your specific Factions.

Syndicates and Clans naturally work at counter purposes constantly -- it is the way of the exodus, I'm afraid.

In game rules, that means that 80% of Syndicate hidden targets will be Clans, and the reverse is true as well.

Thanks for supporting Templar Assault. Are you able to load the game on your device? I would use the Play application on your device and avoid the web one, if that helps.

I ... don't understand what you're telling me.

Clicking on the Templar assault button on the Star Traders main menu Takes me to the google playstore. I've already bought the game, so the playstore prompt says "install". I press install. It says "installing..."

But it never gets further. It's still there today, and it's been 24 hours.

There is no record of the application in the 'settings/apps/' on my device and there is no shortcut. It looks to me as if the installation is failing.

All assistance welcome!

Do you have sufficient space on your device? A solid internet connection?

pendell - thanks for extra details. We have to ask a lot of basic questions to help try to get to a resolution. This problem is really between your device and Google Play and Templar Assault is just caught in the middle.

1) We are happy to issue a refund if you credit card hard been charged and we can't help you get the game installed or you decide this is just too much of a hassle.
2) Does Templar Assault appear in the "My Apps" section of Google Play?
3) Can you post your device and Android OS details?

""Do you have sufficient space on your device? A solid internet connection? "
Several hundred megabytes of space and I downloaded several kindle books over a 4GL onto the phone. So I believe the answer to both your questions is yes.


I'm late, so I'll try to answer fallen's questions this afternoon.

Oookay then. Got it working. the problem wasn't with templar assault but with my own droid.

I don't have "My Apps" so I attempted to download this for free from the playstore. It refused to make a download connection or install, just as Templar Assault did.

This suggested the problem was with my device.

So I used my google-fu and, after many incantations as well as the sacrifice of a small chicken, I found this page:

support.google.com/googleplay/answer/1067233?hl=en#

Following it's instructions, I cleared the cache and data for both my playstore app and my download manager, then re-started the droid. Now both my apps AND templar assault are on my device and installed properly.

Thanks to all for your timely assistance!

pendell - thanks for your patience and for digging into this one with us! All the install issues are almost 100% Google Play problems, very rarely the apps fault.

Enjoy the tension of fighting corridor to corridor against the xenos!

Update: At some point in the near future I'm going to try to run a mission for De Valtos against a named house such as Steel Song when De Valtos is in no faction conflict with Thulun. If I still get busted a rank, I'll report it.

Respectuflly,

[pendell]

Okay. Run a few missions for De Valtos against independents and had no further problems. I guess the 4 busted ranks was just incredibly bad luck!
