[Britich]

awesome, now i can build up a pirate empire to smash heh

[Dgn Master]

Awesome scripts (haven't checked them yet, but i like the concepts). I always wanted to be able to sell the "dud" stations i create and we can always use more BBS articles/missions etc (bout 40000 more would be nice ) .

Good work

[Marine]

Any way I can find out how this script is working or not? Can it be enabled or disabled through the script editor?

[Sandalpocalypse]

will paranids buy your space weed facs in their space?

[Stonerkrieg]

LV,I take back all the mean and libelous things I said about you.At least the ones I said before you became a Moderator

[OddBall-aka-hippiejon]

This apply to complex's too ?

kick ass script dude .

[LV]

Seeing that i coded these 2 in about 1/2 an hour feel free to feedback on balance issue's in relation to amount of roids scanned/cost and also how often the offers appear.

Complexes, dunno? not got any let me know

Stonerkrieg
If they had been that mean and libelous i'd have forcegripped you anyway

[TycHouse]

Only briefly glanced at them and notice bbs.roid.info.xml starts with

Code: Select all

001   load text: id=8809

i'm guessing this should be 8810 ??
Also

Code: Select all

Description
Station defense BBS mission

Otherwise i'm looking forward to trying it later

Edit: i see you adressed 8810 directly later on so no biggy

[Sandalpocalypse]

all the offers i get are for the same station

[LV]

not anymore, re download, you will have to decline the offer for the station to change.

[DeltaWolf]

Just one problem - this script causes my game to freezed up when loading a saved game - don't know why yet. (it took me about an hour to figure out which script caused the problems)

[Jimmy Jazz]

I tried to sell this plot related ore mine in Paranid space. My game froze when I accepted the offer on the BBS

[LV]

Hmn, i just started testing selling stations and got a lock up selling an ore mine after selling 6 other types, i'll disable mines for sale.

Can y'all let me know if any other types cause you problems

[hox]

the money I was offered for my 1MJ shield facility was ridicululously low, just about what I paid for it



perhaps a boost is needed? Or will I receive different offers over time?

[Galaxy613]

Good script LV!

[A dJ]

Hmm, here's BBS Offer suggestion, well maybe I'll write my own (if possible).

Have a "mechanic team" offer an upgrade for one of your existing mines. When upgraded it should increase 1 or more of the following: yield/output/production rate. Like an advanced mineral extraction device or such.



EDIT: Have the mechanic team offer the upgrades for any of your factories would be even better. Also allow several upgrades which makes it even more interesting.

[LV]

mines seen deffinatly to be the cause (don't ask me why though )

until i've tested more (disabling mines makes offer alot rarer) just dont sell any

i have managed to sell 50+ other type stations without issue though

[moggy2]

what happens if you have scripts running on the station when you sell it? do they stop?

[LV]

dunno tbh, i better put a stop in
