RS.JumpDriving

My jumpdrive scripts all together ..

-RS.JumpDriving-




This comes with 2 command;
-Sector Jump
-Emergency Sector Jump Control (ESJC)




=Sector Jump.


This command is only available on M1, M2, M6 and TL class ships.
It requires;
-Navigation Command Mk1
-Special Command Mk1
-Ecliptic Projector
-Triplex Scanner
-JumpDrive
-Maximum amount off the Maximum shield that can be installed.


Once the command is selected it asks you to select a position in space.
Once a position is selected, the ship will check if it actually has enough ECells.
If so, it starts 'pre'-charging its jumpdrive by redirecting shieldpower to the jumpdrive.
Resulting in your shields to drop to below 5%,
once your shield power has been redirected to the Jumpdrive,
your ship will start up its jumpdrive,
to 10 seconds later appear near or at the selected position.
This proces takes about 30 seconds;
-20 seconds 'pre'-charging
-10 seconds for the 'regular' jumpdrive to charge


If your ship doesnt have a shieldstrenght of at least 85% at start,
or your ship is under attack, doesnt have enough Ecells or a jumpdrive,
than there will be a 'warningsound' and the command will terminate itself.

The required amount off ECells is the same as for a Gate-Jump.



=ESJC.

This command is only available on fighter- and corvette-class ships.
It requires;
-Navigation Command Mk1
-Special Command Mk1
-Ecliptic Projector
-Triplex Scanner
-JumpDrive
-At least one shield.


Once the command it selected it will ask you for a number.
This number will represent the shieldpercentage at wich the ship needs to jump.

The command will stay active as long as your ship has the required equipment and enough Ecells to make a jump.
If the ships shields go down to the set percentage and it has an attacker,
than the ship will randomly jump a few km away from it current position.
Trying to buy it some time.

Do note this command is designed for combat/patrol-ships and will have little to no effect for traders.

I like it, keep the good work coming.

up for grabs ..

Great...

An option to consider would be to have this as a bolt on module for the ship your using, something extra to purchase ... something to shop around the universe for as its quite an added bonus for defence to pirating and as a pirate I am sure.

I'll have to chack this out .. see what wares we have and what they cost .. etc etc ..

guess something off about 50.000-100.000cr to make it interesting??
dumb it at only piratebases..??


EDIT;changed .. new version with upgrade is up ..

Sounds like it would be perfect for my UT's.

Just wondering though if this script in any way would conflict with that script or would it only kick in when under attack? Also after this is triggered and the enemy presence in no longer a threat does that script resume?

nope this will not work on your UTs .. well if your using M3 UTs it might ..

but it has been made for combat/patrol-ships ..

ships only jump when under attack ..
and only jump again .. if still under attack and their shields have been above the minimum level you set ..

[999-JAY-999]

Great addition to any ship......

[Red Spot]

let me trow this in the community ..


put my script up in the sticky .. (and claim the ware)??

or just remove it and let others use it ??..


doesnt matter much to me ..
and there is no use in putting this up for 2 peops ..

you tell me ..


G

[PapaTong]

the only real problem with this ware is that it is essentially a gateless jump which apparently only the Xperimental ship can do, and they are still researching on how to do, if ur not bothered about stuff like that it is a cool script

[999-JAY-999]

Keep up the good work.... I am sure its widely appreciated ..

Whats next on the agenda RS ?

[Red Spot]

new version up ..

basicly the only changed is the changing off required wares ..

Because now I can only use UT transporters more or less safely. They jump away, if attacked. I would really like to put this kind of script on all other transporters that do just common factory logistics. Is there a reason why it works on M3&M6 only?

Thanks!

PS. It seems that I had to read the description properly. I guess by jumping by 5 km away you mean jump but stay in the same sector. It does not make a lot of sense for transporters. Is there a script that would jump them to other sector using the jumpdrive? (no UT of course).

[X-it]

This is a great idea. UTs can jump, so why not patrol craft?`

One thing, will it jump the second the shields get below the specified percentage, or will the jump countdown start at that percentage? Like to know what I should set the percentage to.

Then again if it jumped immediately there would be no need to set percentage, since it would survive even with 0% shields, but I'd just like to be sure.

Cheers,

[Red Spot]

well for jumping the 10 seconds is a rule ..

but the script is nothing more than a tight loop ..

when the shields hit the set % at the least favourable time ..
it would take your ship about 13 sec to jump ..
best time would be the 10 sec off the JD charging..


I usually set my ships at percentages that depend how important the ship is ..
not so much because it works better ..
cause when the ship jumps it also cant do damage ..
but because when it jumps I get a message about it ..
and it gives me more time to react ..


G

[X-it]

Thanks. I was thinking of using this for OOSD M6s only (which is pretty valuable to me now, as I only have one), and maybe TLs and bigger when I get those, although they can probably defend themselves pretty good against any spawning ships anyway.

Think I'll start with 50% for my only M6 for now, which is a Centaur.

[Red Spot]

................. and maybe TLs and bigger when I get those, .....................

this doesnt work on those ..

wouldnt have any use anyway ..
cause the recharge rate for those shields is too slow for it to have any use ..


G

[X-it]

Ah thanks... M6s it is then!

Thanks again for a great idea put to practice.

[ceej6969]

could be a problem with the amount of scripts i have going, i have found that rs.ejc & your security script do not recognise upgrades pre-installed in the ship before you buy(fight command mk1 & 2 in nova sentinel for example), is there a fix?

[Red Spot]

nope cause I didnt really figure this was gonna be a problem ..

have to check it out ..

if it is the case with all ships that have pre-installed upgrades ..
I'll have to change a bit ..

anyway ;
does it work when (if you can) buy them seperate ???..
(cause than it would be ok in point a view .. it would just cost you a bit more to get them to run .. wich I always find a good thing with player-commands .. (still have to check it out .. but would less off a 'problem')
