Any idea how to get to the config options. IIRC the last one was bound in the command menu but I can't find it on this one.

I think it was in the combat menu / sector takeover. but I"m away from my gaming computer right now...

I've figured it out. If you go to the control config it is in something like the 4th menu at the bottom.

As now TC 2.5 is out, here is the STO-version for it. No changes on the functions, but faster and less scripts needed. Will not run under TC-versions before 2.5.

Download STO for TC 2.5

Edit: While creating the archive, i put a wrong script into it, so when overtaking a sector or loosing one, the script is returning a readtext to the subtitle-line. The bug is already fixed, just download the archive again and it should be ok. Sorry for the inconvenience.

EDIT2: Also in the tax message was a readtext, also now fixed, please download again;)

Thank you Trickmov, loved this script since X3R.

In 2.5, since you said it is 'faster' and uses less scripts, does it mean it 'clears' unit spawns faster in sectors that the player took over?

Trickmov · Post by **Trickmov** » Mon, 19. Oct 09, 10:45

No, in 2.5 there are new menu-commands which allow columns.
In the previous version i had solved this by my own library-scripts, which was relativly slow (because many things had to be calculated). Now in the new version the new commands are used, so that the menu is faster built (especially when many sectors are owned).
Also the former library scripts are not longer needed and some lines in the menu-script were obselete.

I haven't had much time using this script, but so far, it's very impressive.

There's one thing I do not understand, what does the consume option do?

The PDF states: allows consume of tradedocks (up to 10% per hour). This doesn´t work with HQ and Xenon-HUB. I'm afraid I don't understand the wording.

Also, "- prevent consume of a tradedock in an own sector, while others consume:for that you have to rename the tradedock, so that the first letter is „$“."

Does this mean their wares consumption? If they don't consume wares how do they produce?

Trick, getting readtext errors in the message that tells you how much tax was taken out by the governments.

As usual, awesome script, been using it since it came out. Like the new menu system.

Can you update the first post as to what the tax, and raid systems are, etc, etc?

Thanks! Appreciate the great work, as usual.

Yes, thank you. Fixed it now, just download again

No, sorry, no time for that... look into the online-pdf

Yes their ware consumption is meant - stored wares will be sold, if activated. Producing? Tradedocks don`t produce

Got me there. I should read what I post.

Does the dock consume anything you stock it with?
Can I stock my trade post with things that don't usually sell?

Bump and request for stickiness. awesome script

Awesome script. I love it...

Hi,

I installed this and its working great. However, for some reason it won't let me take over Gaian Star. I've scouted the sector and there are defiantely no pirates left and I've got an equipment dock in there.

Is it because the sector is a "plot" sector? I have completed the goner plot which features this sector...

I like using this script to take over Xenon Sector 347 & 472

great places to drop some illegal goods complexes and it allows trade convoys to pass on through with ease

Trickmov · Post by **Trickmov** » Wed, 28. Oct 09, 11:50

There were two bugs in the raid-routine, one which created Mammothes instead of the correct ships and one which destroyed sometimes the raid ships.

Here is the corrected version:

so this will stop xenon stations from poping into my conquered sectors? Also will the xenon continue trying to take it back, and also if i enable raid will the xenon just come in bigger and stroger #?

Thanks

so, let me get this strait, this gives me the chance to kill a sector and place an trade station there to conquer it?

then when the place is mine, I can build my own stations there and tax the other races stations?

will my stations be "free" or do I tax myself to?

will there be shipyards build by the other races?

what will the sectors owner be? my name?

is this compatible with Response Force script?

Clock_Work · Post by **Clock_Work** » Wed, 11. Nov 09, 01:07

Well even if you do tax yourself the tax money will go to you. So logically you don't lose or gain anything so its free.

who knows?

TAX is a mysterious thing to have, the taxed ppl allways give more than the government gets, because there are ppl who take some of that tax
