its detecting the pirates.

it doesn't actually check the enemy status of the ships just thier presents.

i'll have to look at adding these checks in so it works with the friendly pirates script

I was guessing that the script checks for "vanilla enemies" instead of relations, and I was hoping you would be kind enough to add that

:P

added in a check for enemy ships, so if u have friendly pirates, it should ignore them.

Er, maybe it's just me, but there aren't any scripts included in the package...

try it again now

did u post a link yet or is thier another topic i should look for the updated swen script in?

its the link on the first page. It'll take u to the webpage where u can download the latest version

I just wanted to say super thanks

I've been trying to raise my rep with the Paranid, and having a Sat in each of their sectors has been incredible help. I don't have to manually check each sector anymore

Hey! Will this work on detecting Shivan Dragons that are in the XTM? They have turned evil with the newest patch and will attack anything with their Kyons. Thanks.

it depends what race they are, as it only checks for certain races.

at some point i will be adding a check for any enemy ships as well, so it should be included in that

AFAIK the dragons don't belong to any race. In XTM ver. 0.7.1 they were neutral to everyone except pirates who they attacked at every chance. Now that 0.7.2 is out the dragons attack anything; ( they now show up as red icons on the map) but the reason I wanted to know if you system detects them is the value of the scales.
I've already installed SEWN, so I'll find out sooner or later. Thanks.

Can you make it so the satellite replacement service gives out a global contract, rather than sector-by-sector? I want ALL my sats covered, cuz they get killed everywhere, especially with XTM and frequent random attacks by Xenon, Kha'ak and pirates in all sectors. If I had to wait for that rare occasion when I'm in an AI station AND the BBS message comes up, it'll take forever to get it all covered.

Also, do you need to have the 'enemy detection' coverage active all the time, or can you turn it off? I get tired of hearing "emergency signal' all the time, and that's WITH the Capitals Only setting, due to so many Caracks, Galleons, Reavers, J's, K's, and Kha'ak capitals popping constantly... It's crazy! The Rapid Response ships can barely keep up to clean them out.

Lastly, sorry, but I couldn't handle the poor English in your text file, so I made a few corrections. If you'd like a copy, send me your email and I'll give it to you.

i can enable a global command to enable/disable so you can only get warnings when you want instead of all the time.

u could send me the text file and i will gladly add it into the package.

being dyslexic, my spelling and grammer is not the best.

ill look into a global contract, most likly a fixed price based on the number of sectors in the game. So it'll be like 70-80% of the costs if you were to have contracts for every sector

Ok, let's give this a try... Here's the version I fixed.

Hopefully that comes through ok.

Well it has not interfered with your skill in scripting, which is excellent.

Good idea here, I go into the sectors where I have ASats and don't always get the BBS offer. Could the contract determine how many ASats you have and adjust the fee? Some sectors require more than one.

the current system is basically that you pay a maintance fee for the sector, and that basically includes insurance to cover the costs of replacement sats.

so the price will be the same for a different number of satalites.

the main thing your paying for is the company to keep an eye on the satlites and to pay for the maintance ships

the replacement is a kind of bonus

Hey Cycrow, downloaded your script but have run into an odd problem:

The installer can't install it, keeps telling me - "Unable to open script package"

I've re-downloaded it several times with the same problem, any ideas?

(I'm using v1.86 of your install by the way)

you need v2 of the installer to install his scripts now.

I see...

Wasn't aware there was an update (I don't come on here that often)

Cycrow,

Is there any way to modify your script to add Pirate bases or Xenon Stations.

Reason I ask is I am trying to determine if we can kill/push the 12 vanilla pirate bases into the new XTM sectors. Also I "seem" to be having Xenon Station respawning into vanilla sectors after a kill.

Wondering, if I learned how to modify it , I could then just wait to see if/where they respawn and not have to kill one at a time and then search for him, not knowing when he'll show up. Would it be as simple as adding the right object type to the right place in your script?

If it's possible, just let me know and I'll keep learning code to do it. If it's not feasible at all then let me know and I'll keep manually killing one at a time.

Thanks
