Question on using the command scripts like trading one an Carrier etc....

Post by Tasogie » Mon, 13. Jan 14, 04:37

I use the command scripts on my haulers like trading explore,patrol,etc etc etc...
But what I was wondering is does it matter if I use 1 level of a script or as in trading ones, do I use 1/2/3?.
I have usually installed the highest level script I can afford, but I bought a ship yesterday had 2 "fight scripts" installed.

Instead of listing what every single piece of software does, it would be far easier to link you to a listing: http://www.x3wiki.com/index.php/Wares#Software
Just click on one to see more detailed information and what commands each one enables.

For example you said a ship had "2 "fight scripts" installed".

Fight Command Software MKI
  • Attack all enemies
    Attack Capital Ships
    Attack Fighters
    Attack...
    Protect...
    Turret Attack Enemies
    Turret Protect Ship
Fight Command Software MKII
  • Attack all enemies, land
    Attack enemy and land...
    Attack my target
    Attack nearest enemy of...
    Attack shields of...
    Attack target of...
    Board Ship
    Defend Position
    Defend Sector...
    Defend Station
    Launch All Marines...
    Missile Barrage...
    Retreat
    Turret Missile Defense
    Turret: Attack Capitals
    Turret: Attack Fighters
    Turret: Missiles Only
Using that link above you can click on the trade software and see which one you need for your task. Keep in mind that these commands are highly situational. You will never see the "Board Ship" command on something that cannot carry marines. Likewise the "Missile Barrage..." command will only show on missile frigates.
