Eventually this pack will include lots more missions, relevant upgrades, BBS, other events etc, also including missions and things in the style of, or similar to the kind of stuff that they get up to on the old firefly tv show (I've started re-watching it through again!). Aswell, it will also include lots of other different missions that i come up with. If anyone has any suggestions for missions, upgrades or generally anything then feel free to post them here or PM me if you'd like your mission to contain any surprises!
Any feedback is greatly appreciated! (Not sure about how easy/hard it should be, dependence on bulk upgrade, etc.)
Currently this pack includes the steal wares commands (alot more complex than u might think - this aint no cheat!) the bulk transporter upgrade and my first batch of new BBS missions, I still got more planned to be added at some point.
And thanks to alot of other scripters, without their previous scripts to look at for reference i wouldnt have got this far.

Description:
Not everything in the X universe is quite as legitimate, innocent and shiny as you'd first think. This script pack adds a variety of legal and not so legal missions to the BBS. It also adds the steal wares commands, which may come in useful...
Now adds weapons dealers to the BBS (usually in pirate bases or trading stations).
Also adds an option in the artifiacial life menu for extra pirate stations. If this is set to enabled then new pirate bases will slowly be built in the universe and existing bases will occasionally buy lasertowers for defence. Can be disabled via the Artificial life menu.

Background Information:
After transporter devices entered the public marketplace the teladi managed to reverse engineer Goner Transporter devices. Due to interstella copyright laws the teladi were unable to release their own version and eventually came to an agreement the Goners believed to be mutually beneficial to all, allowing the bulk transporter upgrade to be released. Due to Teladi subsidies on the station based side of the technology it was quickly adopted universe wide with all stations now being complient with the new technology.
Of course, with every new technology there comes new ways to exploit the system. Put together by a group of renegade engineers and programmers, the Transporter Override System overrides the transporter device's safety protocols and allows the pilot to execute unauthorised cargo transports.
A bulk transporter upgrade is required to access a station's cargo transporter, while a freight scanner is required to target wares onboard another ship.

BBS missions:
Follow the instructions given!
Using Steal Wares from station:
Select in the piracy menu of your ship.
1. Choose the station you are docked at.
2. Choose the ware to 'acquire'
3. Choose the amount of ware to 'acquire'
The device will then activate.
Using Steal Wares from ship:
1. Choose your target ship.
2. Choose the ware to 'acquire'
3. Choose the amount of ware to 'acquire'
The device will then activate. The range of the device will depend on the tragetted ships systems, sheilds and the amount and type of ware to be 'aquired'
WARNING: Being completely unathorised and unsupported by all universe guilds, the override systems are not guaranteed to be able to access a station's cargo transporter or be 100% compatible with all ships systems (NOT SCRIPTING ERRORS, technology issues - its made by pirates!...). Also, due to the differences in different station's security systems the transport can not be guarenteed to go unnoticed every time. If you are detected a ship/stations owner may not be very happy.

Install:
Just extract the rar file to your main X3 directory or use cycrows script installer.
