Name: X3 Salvage Claim Software
Version: V1.05
Author: Cycrow
Updated: 29/06/2006
===========================================

System Override Software MK2 has been rename to Salvage claim Software, and it also now uses EMP as the ware, so no more conflicts with other scripts. Both version are currently available and still have the same function

Salvage Claim Software V1.05: Download

To install you need the X3 Script Installer from Here
I suggest uninstalling SOS MK2 script before installing the new Salvage Claim Software, as it is classed as a different script

===========================================

V1.05
* Added Support for Xperiment Fusion Mod
* Fixed stock levels in equipment docks

V1.04
* Added uninstall scripts
* Added text entry for hotkey

V1.03
* Changed clamining sound

V1.02
* Fixed claiming of multiple ships
* Fixed for non english versions

V1.01
* Ships must be stationary to claim

===========================================

The script adds a new upgrade for your ship, the System Override Software MK2, which allows you to claim ships
unlike the original, this version isn't illegeal, and will work over a bigger distance but cost alot more.

1. Using the software

There are 2 methods to use the software

Method 1: Via you ships command console

with the software installed, you should have a new command under the piracy menu to claim ships.
Once selected, you will have to select a ship you want to claim, this must be a ship without a pilot, then the autopilot
will fly close enough to the claim the ship, once you close enough, the software will automatically claim the ship for you

Method 2: Targeted Hotkey

There is a hotkey that you can use on a targeted ship, this hotkey must first be set in you controls options.
To use, you target a claimable ship, ie one without a pilot and be within 5km of the ship, then just press the hotkey to claim that ship.

2. Assigning Hotkey

You will find it under the interface menu near the bottom in the section called Extensions.
The hot key is "Claim Targeted Ship".

===========================================

sounds cool

alot easier job than taking a little walk. you don't have to kill every pirate in sector to claim a ship now.

good work

stevio

YES!! I love all your work, keep it up!

oh where can you buy it

BBS???

EQ dock??? (which race???)

cheers

stevio

ah i shoulda mentioned that, its at pirate bases like the original one

stevio wrote:oh where can you buy it

Pirate Bases by the look of it (but it's hard reading XML in notepad )

EDIT: Cycrow, you're too fast for your own good

seems i was missing a file
i've updated it now so if u get the new version it should work

is the t-file named 448101 by any chance i cant remeber if so it clashes with th t-file of personnel energy generator

'coz if the sos mk2 costs 6mill then it does 'coz mine is saying personnel energy generator'

is it just a name mistake(that does not matter)

or will it effect both scripts

cheers

stevio

it does cost 6 million yeah
looks like they might use the same ware
not much i can do about that really, as there isn't many avaialble wares, especially at a decent price

im not actaully sure if it will it will work, but i think it should work ok, just with the wrong name, only way to tell is once u've installed it, check that you have the piracy option in your ships commands

I think you should just take over the original SOS instead, since it's basically useless. The SOS's original 600k price is not too small to do what your script does. Keep in mind the MK3 Trader only costs 500k and just look at how much money that can make you.

the problem with that, is that this will also be illegeal, whereas i wanted it so its not illegeal

The current setup is a fine one. But I think the SOS Mk2 should be renamed to "Military Grade SOS." The SOS sold by pirates should be considered a cheap, shabby version. Available to anyone willing to buy it.
The Military Grade SOS should be a much more functional version that is not considered illegal to have; however, requires some race rep to buy.

Seem like a good idea Cycrow?

yeah sounds good

althou not sure if you can control how much rep poitns you need to purchase stuff via scripts, i will have to look into that

You can always do it the hard way, through the BBS system.

yeah could make it on the BBS so you have to upgrade the ship to gain access to it, rather than an actualyl ware you buy

the only problem with that is when u want to transfer it between ships

Hi, I installed this script and have been able to buy the s/w at a pirate base for 607k credits. I can assign a hotkey for it but cannot find the "piracy" menu you mention.

Any help appreciated.

IMHO, having to eject from your ship to claim a ship is stupid, considering this happened automatically in X2 when a pilot ejected. I thought X3 was supposed to be a progression from X2, not a step backwards.

that sonds like the original version, you need the MK2 which cost 6million instead

it should be at the pirate base too

if its not there, try redownloading the script, as you might have an earlier version where i missed one of the fiels which made the asoftware avaialble to buy

Thanks for replying. I did as you suggested and was able to purchase the Mk.2 s/w, which works a treat! This should be available ingame!

Cool idea, upuntill now, ive been using your change ship race cheat to claim pilotless ships. Im just to lazy to go space walking.

thank you Cycrow
