Gambles over !!!!

Being the like minded person as I am.... What I like to ask though being an assassin going to be very similar to being a bounty hunter for instance? Are you not in both instances paid to kill a determined target for a price ?


Just an interesting brain bender for myself as the three seem to be not far from the other, I wonder with glee and at the same time intrigue how the missions will differ between the scripts...Bounty Hunters Guild V2.50,
Mercenaries Guild V2.10 ?

Ok what I am trying to ask here out of just plain wonderness and for conversation sakes.... is what’s the difference to being a:

A. Bounty Hunter
B. Mercenary
C. Assassin


Answers on a post card please........

Thanks.

:P

well, in a way it is simlar to the bounty hunters guild, but its like the old X2 Assassinations mission

where you accept a mission from the BBs, and the target will be spawned in a given sector, and it will appear hostile to you, so u dont have to look for them
They will have backup ships traveling in formations, and you wont loose any race rep for killing them and the rest of the ships in the sector wont try to attack you after you kill them :)

Being a merc is abit differnet, as you effectly get hired to take on various missions, and can be on both the attacking, or defending side to a conflict
plus the missions are more like invasions, taking out stations, etc, rather than just killing ships

are there any compability problems if you run more than one? For example the mercanary and the assasin script?

and isn't an assasin more likely to be someone who kills illegally? For political reasons for instance.

a bounty hount in x2 was for hunting someone who comitted a crime and so somehow forgiveable.

nevertheless i think it's a good idea and i will certainly download 1 or 2 i just need to decide which one i want ^^
Do you like secrets?

all of my scripts will work together

the reason i did it this way is coz it then works the same was as it was in x2

and the bounty hunters guild can be that someone commited a crime, but against a differnet race, so an argon bounty for a split pilot would be classed as a criminal by the argon, but not by the split, which is y you lose rep points from the split as it wasn't them who put the bounty on thier head

How often does the guild appear ???.... selected stations ??..

I belong to the Bounty Hunter one so get plenty of offers there...I see Merc one but dont belong to that but they offer to join on most if every BBS I open...

Now I NOT seen the ASSIN one yet though on the BBS.. Just wondered how quickly and how often its supposed to appear as compared to the others they were almost on every BBS I could find you see.


Thanks.

well, the appearence should be as frequent as the merc guild, or at least it was set like that

due to the randomness of the BBS scripts, its really hard to tell when it will appear

let me know if it doesn't appear at all after using it, so i can check if somethings missing, althou it did appear for me when i tested it after visiting a few stations

Dnt worry.. Cycrow scripts share files..... or a file...

Just accept Overwite when copying.

Are you sure? They have different sizes. I assume that assassins file being the largest and with the latest date is latest version, but still, one day it can cause a liitle mess when someone overwrites the newer version when installing some earlier made script.

Hummmmm, well before now Cycrow has said to simply overwrite....

Perhaps a word from Cysrow himself incase I am wrong here....but his scripts are ALL compatable with one another as far as know.

For the record I have installed over the top..I have all his scripts and Lv's plus others on here RED SPOTS etc.. etc...... no real issues yet.

yep, its fine to overright :)

obviously it u overright with an old version, then you might be replacing an old version of the file
but if u have downloaded them all at the same time, they will all have the same version of the files

so it will only cause problems if u say download an old version of a script months ago and left it on ur hard drive, then installed a new script, and installed the old one as well, the old one will overright with an older file, which is of course easily fixed by putting the more recent one after :)

Nice script Cycrow - thoroughly enjoying it.

One bug so far, though - if you accidentally cap the target, you get a message from the Ass guild about someone else killing the mark, and to make matters worse, the mark and all escorts disappear.

Enjoying it so far but have noticed one thing, installed it earlier tonight - just made it to level 3 and I'm seeing escorts with the mark for the first time now. However once the target is dead (I usually go for the main target first) all the escorts drop to 0 speed and sit there without moving or firing whilst I mop them up.

Only had one target bail on me so far - and I also got the message that I failed 'cause someone else destroyed them


Before I forget, I havn't tried to cap any escorts yet - but one in a mission just before was one of the racers from er Freedoms Reach? with a max speed of 1418 or so :o no weapons makes for a bad escort at any rate me thinks :D

Same thing here. Another thing is that it seems really like unknown sectors, this adds a bit of the confusion since all their names are the same.

yes, i think i added the arrow and starbust in, i think i might just remove those :P

the problem with the ships stoping i think is coz they were escorting and didn't get any new orders, should be easy to fix

so hopefully ill get all those fixes done faily soon :)
