[SCRIPT] BOF Drones Plus V2.00
Available courtesy of Xai Corp .zip includes .spk
Updated version of BOF Drones - with a plus...
Description:
------------
Only works on your own ship.
Define two hotkeys:-
- one to launch Drones
- one to retrieve Drones
Retrieve Drones requires a Transporter Device for best results.
Launch Drones launches 10 drones at time - default command is 'Protect me'.
Collect drones will send a command to all your drones, they will fly towards your ship. When in Transporter range they will be picked up. If you do not have a Transporter, they will stop near your ship for manual collection.
So far, it is just a small update to the previous version.
Now about that Plus....
Don't you just hate to see a waste of profits?
Just look at those fighter drones rushing around, even though the original ship is now dead - and they will die soon.. Don't you just yearn to give them a new home - such as your ship. I mean, you can't just leave all that money floating around, going to waste.
I have been annoyed by this for a long time - ever since I originally created my hotkey commands to Launch and Collect drones.
So I thought, and in seconds the answer came to me - I want them....
But the how has taken a bit longer. I have now developed a mutated virus that can be loaded into one of your own Fighter Drones. It then aims for the other fighter drones around, and "converts" them to be yours, and allows your ship to collect them - this is easier if you have a teleporter on board.
In keeping with my generosity, as shown in the other scripts that I have previously supplied, the software to do this is free - but I make a small charge for each drone "converted". This is all part of my cunning plan to get rich(er) - free software means that you will use it, a small charge means that you will use it often - and as we all know, every little helps make a lot.
"Nice, but how do I use it?" you ask...
Simple - just press the Collect Drones hotkey.
If none of your drones are around, a virus drone will be sent out, and it will 'convert' (subvert, steal etc.) any other drones around. The 'converted' drones will fly towards your ship, and be teleported aboard when in range. If you do not have a Transporter, they will just stop - awaiting manual collection.
The 'Conversion' fee - is just 200 Cr per drone - really cheap.
This 'conversion fee' is charged at the time of conversion (just in case they do not last long enough to be collected). This is called "profit protection" in some circles...
Uses:
-----
No t-files, no command slots.
- Nothing apart from two keys.
Installation:
-------------
The .zip package contains the .spk version and the zipped files.
Install using Cycrow's Installer if you prefer the .spk version.
Or just copy the files to the \scripts folder.
Enjoy,
