X3:TC : Periodic Freight Dropper

[spookytris]

Hi All.

Does anyone know if there is a mod that can do what I am wanting? If not, how to I go about scripting a "command software" to do this?

I am wanting to send ships out to "mine" systems with laser towers, drop advanced satellites and beacons around systems.

I have already started doing this manually, and its drudgery.

All it needs to be is "Drop <number> of <cargo> every <number> Km" and maybe "If <condition> Drop <number> of <cargo>" - multiple commands

dropping lots of lasertowers will cause fps issues, use the ring of fire script to cloak them. You will still need to order each ring to be set up but its just entering the position, number of lt's and radius of circle. You can use the same ship to manually drop a sat in the center of the ring.

unfortunately thats the only easier method i know of

Litcube's universe has a perfect script to drop satellites.
