As I don’t have the 3D modelling skills to do justice to X3, I’ll more than likely be using an existing model.

Looks great, cant wait till drone production is released.

*chants* Griffon, Griffon, Griffon, Griffon, Griffon, Griffon
Should have a beta out tomorrow (today!), it will work on any carrier & yes the Griffon has been added to Argon SY's :)

Hurraaaaaay :D

Download package appears to be missing an AL plugin file?

Something wrong with the script. It cancelled out the Ship Rebalance Mod. :o

:?: Not sure how it would do that, do you have more details on "cancelled out the Ship Rebalance Mod".

This script only uses Command Slot - COMMAND_TYPE_FIGHT_41 which arrording to the submissions page is free.

Edit: I missed the AL plugin files, surprised you got it working :?:

dispite re-downloading the script after you corrected it, and installing the required extra lib.chem.strings-2.97 script i still dont see a AL plugin option. :(

No AL plugin here, either.

I wanted a Griffon, too :<

WIP tweaks/additions:

Add a check to all production task to check storage at the end of each cycle. If there's not the required space add a loop which will add the product when space is available. (Done - Testing)

Integrate with FDN. If a Node is within range the carrier will request any required wares from the Node. (Done - Testing)

When I change the numbers of the drone types for each class, it sticks to the default numbers anyway.

So for example.

m8 is set standard at 8, I change it to 20, it will only deploy 8 drones.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks, I'll have a look.

Edit: Just checked the build I have installed and it works fine, but I've made a few changes & additions so maybe I've fixed the issue. I'll have to get a new build uploaded once I'm happy :oops:

Sorry

I'll try and get an update out by the end of this week. I'm away on a course next week so I may not be about unless I take my laptop with me.

Hello LA, your script works great. Im having lots of fun with my Griffin.

A small request perhaps:

Is there any way i can order drones to "attack shields of my target" rather then the usual attack they do? Im thinking the Griffin would make a great capture ship by using expendable drones to lower the target shields and keep the target busy, then steam in to drop off the jarheads.

Is there any way you could add a function like this?

Not something I’ve put much though into but a nice idea.

Maybe this is something I could add to the ROE (Ignore, Report, Shields, and Engage). I will have to either to also re-work the drone task.

I’ll have a look, I have a few things on the go and I’m away on a course next week, I’ll see what I can do but it could be after my course.

Thanks for your feedback & input :)

May I suggest a better host?

filesmelt.com is great for small (>5mb) files like this. No wait time, no weird interface, just click the link and there's a download button for you. It arose out of the glorious little section of the internet we call "Facepunch".

I'm gonna go start a scenario start of me as a griffon pilot and seeing just how well it works a shield-buster ship.
