Apologies
I seem to have beaten you to the Auction of stations part of your pack.
http://forum2.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=125208
I just thought i'd let you know so you can decide whether to carry on making it aswell.
I'm quite proud of it actually, i'd even hazard a guess that it would come up to your high standards!
(And even more in the works, the next version is gonna have so much variety the t file is gonna be huge!!! - is there any limit how big a single file can be?)
Let me know what you think of it.

yeah i wanted to ask you about that actaully, how does it get the pricing for aucting off the stations ?
coz i was planning to add the ability to track how well each station is doing, NPC and player stations, and have the auctions based of that price, so you can sell a station and get alot more than it cost to build
althou the main idea was to use that along with a few other missions, so i will still be doing part of it for the other missions

Wow, when i first got X3 i downloaded some of your scripts and thought they were amazing. Then i looked at the script editor and i knew they were amazing. And now your asking me a question about a script i've made! I'm flattered!
I'll PM you some details.
Feel free to have a look at my script if you want and also to use any of the company names if needed in any of your scripts. The more scripts that all use the same common names, the more alive the game will feel!

i have worked it out.
Cycrow is the Stig (top gear)
Reasons for belief:
-> He doesn't need to sleep
-> he writes many complicated scripts with both eyes shut, with one hand, while watching his favourite TV show.
-> he breathes through gills on the side of his knees
all we know is ....... he likes X³
keep it up Cycrow.
cheers

Cycrow strikes again.
Not got time to use this Cycrow (testing for LV) but it looks interesting, and gives me a reason to try to complete the testing faster.

Hey Cycrow, I was hoping you'd do something like this! I can't wait to check it out. Thank you.

does it again.
annd the best thing about cycrows script....
Not one bloody conflict
and his installer allows you to download automatically
(ps cycrow, whats the chance when you automatically download a package update, to leave the downloaded file in your default x3 script folder? I rebuild pc or reinstall x3 quite a lot, and i like to have the install files as well. Just means i dont have to worry about versions being unavailable should i have to reinstall x3. does that make sense? *is late and i am tired*)

I haven't had a chance to play with this this weekend.... work .. grrr.
But i was wondering if you get race rep from using the merchants guild along with your guild rep, or will this be added in the future?
Only wondering as some of us merchants usually don't fight much (or we will but only when cornered like a rat in a cage), and getting race rep can be difficult if you don't go around kacking kha'ak. As i couldn't fight my way out of a wet paper bag most times, i usually just walk into the room with the biggest gun, if you get my analogy.

I never before saw 28 millions cr bonus for some merchant type mission. Yesterday it was first time. Not that I can gather nearly 100 of aHEPT so fast. But from now I will collect all my loot in some captured TPs and TSs for later opportunity. Better sell it later for full price and bonus than now for medium price in equipment docks.
Again, perfect work Cycrow. You brings to us more and more playability into X3 (in contrast to Egosoft ).
