I've been trying to figure this out and hope someone can help me. Which settings would I want to have it on to have the ships of any certain size have max bail? Is it a higher number or lower? Thanks!
Playing A/P also.

It's a little hard to easily identify the bailed ships on the sector map so I decided to implement the same color coding that XTC has.
This is how it will look ingame:

The ships will be color coded when they bail and the color coding will be removed when you claim a ship.
If you like that little added functionality simply download the zip file and unpack the contents to your X3TC folder.

Has this been addressed by anyone somewhere? I'm playing the Alderan start and have good rep with argon, but as soon as my ship flies through the jumpgate and is out of sector, a fleet of argon take their lunch money.dralicin wrote:I am having this weird issue where after i claim a ship and go to move it to another sector, a swarm of hostile ships spawn and kill it. Anyone know a fix?
I have done a fixed and expaneded version of the script.
- included the colored patch some postings ago
- XRM ready
- expaneded setup with options for alot more races & ship types
- fixed bailing problems between big and huge ships
- fixed imature bailing
http://ks4003297.ip-142-4-209.net/unres ... panded.zip
The values are now a bit different:
- the general bailing value (from 1 to 20) describes the chance vs. morale and such as normal. As higher as more bailing. I lowered the chance, so a value of 5-10 is already somewhat low.
The hull value describes the % value about bailing. So, we start to bail not over 20%. This works fine to give not overloaded and to big ships.
The bailing problems with alot nearly undamaged ships all over the place even with low settings of the original script was a mix of settings.
But the real problem was the "get % of the hull" part, which is for some reason for XRM under AP pretty often zero for full ships. Looks like an overflow or rounding problem. I fixed that too.
This script is also part of the LxXRM modding.

Re: [SCRIPT] NPC Bailing Addon v1.7.8 [2010-09-21]
I have tried your modified script, but it has some issues.
1. You forgot to update the version number in 7101-L044.xml. Anyone already using the latest 1.7.8 version will have a non-working configuration menu after the upgrade to 1.8.0.
2. The idea to make the bail hull percentage a fixed value was a bad move in my opinion. Now any noob pilot will bail at the same time as a hardened veteran. (plugin.npcbail.timer.xml)
Luckily these issues can easily be fixed/revoked. I also added a very helpful feature to mark bailed ships that you don't have the blueprints for. They will have a "*" character at the end of their name. (plugin.npcbail.bail.xml)
If you like these changes, you can download the modified files here. Just copy the contents of the archive to your X3TC folder.
edit: Unfortunately there is a problem with the blueprint feature that I implemented. The "player HQ has blueprints for" script command is broken in X3TC 3.4. I don't know if it fails because I have reverse engineered so many ships or if it fails because I have bought another dock type station (trading dock), but the command will now return false for all ships, no matter if I have the blueprints already or not.
edit2: For a test I have now removed my additional docks and only have the player HQ left. The command still doesn't work. The problem could be the amount of reverse engineered ships. I have now over 255 of them and this seems to break an internal unsigned integer variable in the game code...
