[Bonus Plugin] Commodity Logistics Software MK2

[Buzz2005]

ok I installed this software on my demetars and gave the command to collect energy cells from my power plant to my ore plant, but the pilot only delivered it once and he is idling in the ore station, and in the property screen it shoes destination my power plant?
what I'm I doing wrong?
When I request the report it clearly tells the correct intermission points:
1.load XXXX energy cells>my power plant
2.unload XXXX energy cells>my ore plant

I have a X3 reunion 2.5 and XT mod

thnx in advance

Need an advice, what's the condition for the pilots learning how to work with Missile Defense and buying Mosquito Missile on own?

I have a 2-comlex setup to train the pilot to freight level. They were learning well, also how to work with drones and jumpdrive, also Missile defence. But one day suddenly all new group of trainees stopped to learn about missile defence, while they leveled up to freight pilot.

So something must have changed, but can't figure out what. Any ideas?

[Carlo the Curious]

iirc you need Fight Mk 2 installed for MDM.

[cheeseburger]

Oh my bad, I just manually equiped with 20 Mosquito and it started MDM right away. So for some reason it didn't buy the missiled on own - is there any sector range for buying Drones/Mosquito? The homestation has the max. range of 50 sectors.

Ok I really need some help.
I’m new to this game and I have the steam version of x3 + I install the X3 Bonus Pack.

I use the Mercury you get from the Quickstart and have to following Equipment installed in that ship;
Boost Extension
Commodity Logistics Software MK1 and MK2
Duplex and Triplex Scanner
Fight Command Software MK1
Navigation Command Software MK1
Trading System Extension
Trade Command Software MK2

I setup the waypoint but noting happens when I press the Start external commodity logistics, I get command accepted but the ship stays dead in space. No movement. So I check the 0 0 0 menu and don’t see a problem, plenty of space to take on the cargo.
So I alter the waypoint, I delt the old ones and ad a test run, got to “the wall” “solar base L” buy “100 energy cells” for “13 credits”. Press Start external commodity logistics, I get command accepted but the ship stays dead in space. No movement. Any ideas why??

[upsil0n]

Ok I tested some things and discovered that if I tell the ship to buy or sell stuff at a place and make it dock with the “dock at” command, the script will buy or sell but it will not fly to the waypoints I setup.

So I get the following;
Add waypoint
0, the wall solarplant L, the wall solarplant L, energy cells, price 12, number 3000
2, argon prime chip plant, argon prime chip plant, energy cells, price 19, number –3000
start external commodity logistics
than I make it dock at the wall solarplant L, wait till it buys the energy cells. That the ship stays dock at the solarplant and I have to tell it with the “dock at” command to go to argon prime chip plant. After it landed it will sell the energy cells when the price is right.

So in short it will buy and sell at the waypoint but it will not fly/move to or between the waypoints.

I cant seem to get my transport to load more than a small number of Ecells (normally about 14) from my Solar Power plant. The solar power plant in question tends to have more than the freighters max payload.

He will to and from my other station but he never takes enough with him. What am I doing wrong?

Geez I have the same problem, but the weird thing is: It's only the freighters in one complex, and they just recently started idling. I've never seen this with the CLS2 before, and I haven't changed any of the ships or the complex' settings??

[scritty]

In the menu I have

I have "Add Change Interm Stops"
and "Add remove Stations"

But no

"Add remove Intermediate Stops"

Proper software seems to be installed.

What am I doing wrong (none of them work, ship either whizzes around with nothing in or sits like a lemon)

I know I'm an idiot, but I would feel better knowing which command I should be using.

Aww hell!

I thought I had this licked but it turns out that automatically supplying my HQ with Nividium is BLOODY hard.

Latest problem is that CLS MkII doesn't seem to respect Ware limits set on the HQ, it just keeps dropping of regardless. . . . totally screwing up all the other ware control. Is there any way to fix this?

One idea I had was to use the CLS MkII to deliver to station X and then use a CLS MkI (that does respect the limits) to dliver from station X to the HQ. But there is no way I can get the MkI to accept ANY of the various station options I've tried to accept that a station can supply nivdium. . . . except the HQ!!

This is bloody irritating I wish you could just bloody TELL MkI which station is the supplier and which is the consumer. . . . its gets it wrong so much.

Docks. Trade and Equipment Docks. If and only if Dock is the homebase of CLS1, then it is a "producer". All other Docks are consumers. This was one of my first CLS1 setups (a variation of Trading Network).

But the (Nividium) stock size of a Docks is ...


Depends what PHQ does with Nividium. If the consumption rate is slow, then I would simply dump manually a lot as needed. Not nice, but ...

Hi,

I'm having problems when using this script. The pilot refuses to unload wares to my own factories. Inputing NPC factory works but when I'm trying to input my own one or TL there's a long beep.

[Carlo the Curious]

To use a TL you need to have it set as the CLS2's homebase.

What kind of factories? Are they docks or complexes, or just single stations?

[Browncoat]

Setting Orca as a Homebase doesn't help. Errm... I didn't think that matters but I have only complexes.

[Carlo the Curious]

The homebase part may be out of date. You do apparently need a transporter device to deliver to/from a TL though.

[Browncoat]

I have transporter device installed and because I bought the software in Herron's Nebula it was coming with Courier rating. So my first idea for quick training was to use device to load my TL with Ecells. Doesn't work. Than I decided to make him deliver Ecells to my complexes nearby. Doesn't work either. What I'm doing wrong? I tried to change to NPC factories and it works but it's no use for me.

[Axeface]

Hey all,

Just need a little clarification. I wanna use this script to have a TS take goods from my stations in presidents end and dump them at my HQ automatically, so it can build ships without me having to do all the logistics myself.

Would this be possible with this script?

Or is there a simpler way? I thought about setting up a sector trader (Only my facts are in the sector, and the PHQ needs all of the products) and setting the PHQ's buying price to max. That way the trader would buy the products from my facts and sell to the PHQ. BUT, I dont think that will work :/
Any advice would be great

[jlehtone]

Possible yes, practical no. Mk2 ignores Dockware Manager limits on PHQ, and will fill it.

It is Mk1 that you do want. Runs as needed. But if you do have multiple sources, each with different product, then you do need multiple ships.

[Teladidrone]

I cant get it to work.

I am trying the following:
Transport 20 units of microchips from my Complex to my HQ, free of charge.

I do the following:
1) Add/remove intermediate stops
2) Input 0
3) Select Sector and my Complex
4) Select Sector, my Complex, Microchips
5) Input 0 for the price
6) Input 20 for the amount to load

...and as a result I only get an ugly beep sound - I guess thats like an error or something?

Please help me...

[jlehtone]

The 'Config 0, 0, 0' will show the waypoint-list, but you probaly have an error: homebase must be set, if price of transaction is 0.
