Name : AL Plugin Shield Boosting technology

Description : Plugin which offers Extra shield power for your ships
Version : 1.0
Date : 10/2/06
Author : LV


{EMP} - Extended Mod Pack Needed

Detailed description:


Shield Boosting technology can be purchased from Boron Equipment Docks for [ external image ]1 million credits. Once purchased the command "Boost Shields" will appear in the ships secondary command menu.

As long as the chosen ship has enough energy cells equipped extra power will be shunted into the shield generators to upgrade the re-charge rate.

The higher the class ship chosen the more energy is needed and the command will only terminate if the shields are either fully re-charged or there is not enough energy available.

With the command being a secondary command you will be free to go about your business or continue your fighting while they re-charge.


Enjoy

Ummm, 1 million credits isn't very much money anymore......

Good job LV. I was tempted to make something like this for the Syndicate, but you beat me to it!

[Cycrow]

yeah, im making a shield booster script as well, althou it will be part of Capitol ship crews, and will use engineers to improve the shielding rather than energy cells

[LV]

It's been released for well over a month in my BBS plugins scripts ladies.

Don't tell me you've only ever concentrated on your own work , It will crush me. I'd never be the same sith again

[LV]

good spot ta,

[Skorne Tet'Zu]

I'm not sure what's going on... but when ever I engage the Shield Boost I get 100 Energy Cells... whether I need them or not. I know there's a Persoal Energy Script out there... but I don't touch things like that; any idea what's causing this?

Otherwise... Sweet System

[kurush]

Awesome script! I was always wondering why Egosoft did not provide some basic stuff that can be found in other space sims. I guess they just count on the awesome people who creates such mods

I found a really minor glitch though: The script keeps recharging the shield even if I try to scoop some cargo. How to replicate:
1) Start the booster with less than 100% shields
2) Press Ctrl-O to open the cargo bay
3) See the shield recharging from zero before you close it.

Not a big deal really but worths mentioning in case it is easily fixable...

Thanks for the mod!

just noticed a command conflict in the script installer when i added this script.

SHIP_40
8810 - BBS Offers
8817 - Shield Boost

strange thing is the previous version of the installer i had (v1.86) never flagged this conflict up?

[Buck_Rogers]

Hi LV

Sorry to bug you again. I have a slight problem with the remova of this script. Although I think It has something to do with your BBS script to.

Even though I do not have the shield boosting technology script installed anymore. I still get BBS messages. 1 with the offer to use it and another to extend my subscription.

Is there any way you can help me remove these messages?

Edit: I have also noticed, that I still have the Boost Shields command in the extra slot to

[mwyeoh]

This was one of my favorite scripts in X3R, are there any plans to implement it into X3TC??

[John2022]

+1

[X2-Illuminatus]

Looking through the scrips and mods download library for TC there are a several scripts that enable the energy transfer between certain subsystems or by the usage of energy cells. None of them does the job for you?

[Dgreig555]

Is it possible to use this with X3R 2.5? I have plug in manager 2.12. the shield boosting technology appears in the Artificail life list, but is not offered at the equipment docks

[xxx73]

I tested it today with several other mods and scripts and it worked fine so it should work with X3R 2.5.

I'm not an expert but I can think of three things that can cause it:
1. Conflict with other mod/script e.g. using same ware slot
2. You forgot to install the required EMP - Community Extended Mod Pack
3. Some files is missing/misplaced

Good luck

It is only available from Boron Equipment Docks. So you will not find it everywhere.
