I'm sorry, I misunderstood earler.bob hope wrote:its just that you are restricting your motherboard and processor with such low mhz ram im running 400mhz ram on a 4 year old system 266mhz would mean i wouldnt actually be able to play x3
i do fix pc`s and try to increase thier stability thats why i asked thats all
no i wont use anythinfg like that, ie cycrows overtune, i have full respect for him and his scripts but that one dont suit me at all. if i wanna go fast i fly m5, if i wanna be tough i fly a nova. ego ****** up a lot....but i think they got that balance right. make you use every ship....which when theres a 100+ its a waste if u dont. if i had a nova overtuned to 200ms + i would never use another another ship (or very few) and i know it costs a lot but in X games you earn money like you can only dream of at a astonishig rate. so the cash penalty means nothing as eventually you will have more than you can spend....even if you are crapRambam wrote:As this is a script rather than a mod there's only so many ways that the ships can be souped up, so they come with extra tunings for speed and rudder - basically the reward is a slightly overtuned ship complete with shields and some weapons, good but not too unbalanced, especially if you're already using Cycrow's overtune script anyway.
It's possible to get an occasional M6 rather than an M3, but I had to go up against a Xenon boss armed with flak arrays to get one!
That wasn't much fun, considering the 5 minute-long reload times...
If it's in a new game, it's because the script doesn't check that the playership is actually spawned before creating the Mamba, so it's in limbo. The playership doesn't get created right away, so the setup script really should link to a seperate script to run all the initialization stuff and spawn the ship. That should ensure the playership is actually in the universe before putting the Mamba in. A way around this is to start a new game with no scripts running, then dock and save, quit out and then enable any scripts you want to use, the load the save.Puruco wrote:Can someone help me with this, pleasePuruco wrote:Hi again Arch2: The mamba that appears the first time can not see in the sector windows, but it appears in the property window. Do you know why?
I believe he's talking about the initial Mamba you get when first running the script. That one should already be assigned to the player.Rambam wrote:Puruco, you wrote that last post while I was writing mine - don't know if it'll help, but the ship should show up on your scanner as a 'Xenon Prototype Mamba' and you should be able to claim it like any other abandoned ship.
You'll know when a Xenon boss isn't a 'regular' Xenon ship because you'll get an incoming message starting something like 'There it is again...', and it'll always be a long way behind one of the gates rather than in the sector itself.
Thanks both Rambam and Armegeddon. Yes is the in initial ship, the prototy and again yes i use a lot of scripts. I will try your advice (Armegeddon) and install the way you sai tonite. Hope to work that way.Armegeddon wrote:I believe he's talking about the initial Mamba you get when first running the script.

my prob with em is in x you get more and more powerful with no enemys matching your new skill.Rambam wrote:I know what you mean and it can seem too much like cheating when you can overtune your ships as many times as you want!
Basically it's up to the player and personally even if there's a script that'll give me a huge advantage in the game I won't use it unless it's 'believable' and makes sense in terms of the X universe, otherwise I might as well just script myself in an armada of M1s and M2s.
I think that the idea of dodgy mechanics charging a lot of credits to tinker with your ship to make it a little faster or more manouverable is believable, but only up to a point - if it was possible to make a destroyer as fast and manouverable as a fighter then the engineers would have made them like that in the first place.
I love Cycrow's script but out of personal choice I only ever overtune my ships once. The Xenotype ships in this script are overtuned twice (I think), which makes sense if you think of the Xenon copying ships to infiltrate the space of other races but making improvements on the original design in case their ships are discovered and have to fight their way out of the sector.
If you really don't want the overtuned ships then you can always dock them at a trading station and sell the extra tunings - It should show a minus number in the buy menu, and instead of buying more it'll remove them and set the ship to the max normal number of tunings
i aint tried yet....but im gonna use it next, nothing elsse gravs me by the balls ar the mo.
