As it says on the tin. I don't know if someone has done this yet but as it took all of 15 mins to write...

Found in the ships navigation menu as "Dock Transport"

The command will work on TS + TP class ships for docking at TL's as long as they have a free dock bay, The script has been updated so you choose the ship you want to dock with or undock from via the command and your ship will dock, If it is in another sector it will fly to the specified TL

Also added, TP class ships can now dock at M1 Class Carriers


The Dock TS command also will remove the ship from your TL in sector, (oos you can use the ego Fly To Sector Script)

WARNING You must not be in the ship when docking it or undocking or you will stranded inbetween the game and the twilight zone

Install, Extract to your main x3 directory.

Uninstall - Delete the 2 scripts your downloading the the 448003 file

The command costs nothing and is available on TS ships as soon as you install it

If anything else needs adding to this code as it's a quick and simple fix let me know

hi lv,

i've downloaded the installer, what actually do you do with it because it's a .sdk file. where do you actually put it? you can't just click on it to install, and as for the scripts, do you just drip it into the main part of the x3 directory? because i've looked and there's a scripts folder there as well. which one do you put it in.

thanks.

Use Cycrow's plugin manager to install the spk.

Use Cycrow's plugin manager to install the spk.

right. where do i install that to or does it matter?

[Carlo the Curious]

Don't think it matters, although you probably need admin rights - see the plugin manager thread.

[Gandalf The White]

hi,

unless i've seriously done something stupid here,

i've installed the plugin manager to the main x3 directory, C:\Program Files\EGOSOFT\X3 Reunion

i assume that's where it needs to go. i then clicked on the script, it installed successfully. so what command do i use to get the ts to dock with the tl? i can't seem to get it to work no matter what command i use. it says in the plugin manager that the script is running, but other than that, i can't get it to work. i from with in the tl, focus on the vestle i want to dock with me, so i find my dolphin, i go through every single nav command that i can find. none of them works. i have no idea why. i've even tried setting as a home base. do you have any ideas?

from the readme:

Found in the ships navigation menu as "Dock TS"

The ts ship will find the nearest TL ship of your's in the sector and as long as the TL has a Transporter Device and a free docking slot the ship will dock. If it is over 5k from the TL it will fly to it first.

The Dock TS command also will remove the ship from your TL In sector,(oos you can use the ego Fly To Sector Script)

WARNING You must not be in the ship when docking it or undocking or you will stranded inbetween the game and the twilight zone

Install, Extract to your main x3 directory.

Uninstall - Delete the scripts your downloading the the 448003 file

The command costs nothing and is available on TS ships as soon as you install it

although there is a link to another updated version of this script of few posts up on this page. have not looked at it myself though

[Gandalf The White]

right. so do i click on the ts i want to dock first, then go to it's navigation menu?

[Buck_Rogers]

yes

[Gandalf The White]

right. i can get him in, but i can't get the little begger out. so how do i get him out? i've tried saying fly to, that doesn't work. what next?? how do i beam the vestle out.

[Gandalf The White]

ok friends, i got it to work.

thanks for being pacient. jees if i had enough sight to read bloody text i would have had this worked out in a flash. god it's so simple now i feel bloody stupid. thanks anyway.

[MindFever]

indeed! a shuttle class is a great idea... but what can be an alternative... hmmm let me think (As if what i say ,is truly constructive )


hmmm..why not make external docking "clamps" for freighters? It would look cool ,if ships could dock externaly on a capital ship,wouldn't it ?

I want external docking ! Wink probably exists already,so pls dont flame me

[orion_1394]

external docking is one of my most wanted features. i want it so bad i'm learning a lil about C in order to make a mod for it but i'll be done in about a year so that would be great if,,, oh i don't know some programmers could grace us with thier talents at making X3 a better Galaxy for us all. teleporting or even a kinda delivery system would be great.

I Would Just Love If I Could Dock My Mammoths and Roger Youngs to Bases and Suck All Of Thier Items. Yep you heard me... suck their items... like a vacuum

[bang-pilot]

Is it possible that the download link is down ? I always get an error when i try to enter the site. Could someone reup it please ?? thx a lot

[BlackSunPirate]

I've been looking for this for a while. I got too bored of using normal fighter ships because there Cargo is too small. So I started just using the cheats XD

[bumble.bee.b]

Ugh, what am I doing wrong. I did everything the directions state yet i can't get it to work/show up in the nav options. When I click my ts, i have 2 different ways to control the nav...I dont see the "Dock TS" Anywhere... Hope this thread isn't dead.
