[Question/Request] overtune
How hard would it be to add another icon to the stations/people somthing like a lil spanner. And they offer engine and rudder tunings maybe evevn cargo bay extensions, either for cash or as reward for doing a task?
Re: [Question/Request] overtune
well, most trading stations do offer the engine and rudder and cargo space 'upgrades' ... so no need for the spanner there really ...AlphaCentauri wrote:How hard would it be to add another icon to the stations/people somthing like a lil spanner.

as a reward for a quest, don´t know if you can do custom quests, if you can, then maybe it would be possible ...

Re: [Question/Request] overtune
what hes talking about is overtuning. From the trading stations you can tune your ship to its max speed. However, overtuning increase that above and beyond whats usually possible. So the ship can go faster than its maximum speed.paintner wrote:well, most trading stations do offer the engine and rudder and cargo space 'upgrades' ... so no need for the spanner there really ...AlphaCentauri wrote:How hard would it be to add another icon to the stations/people somthing like a lil spanner.

as for doing it, it should be fairly simple in the MD to offer an overtuning service via the comm. However, im not sure if you can add new icons, so u might just have to use one of the existing 4
If adding icons is like it was in X3R, it should be possible. I was just looking at the GUI stuff last night, not much has really changed.
However, it's a pretty difficult task without an editor, so you can see how the specific icons are indexed. Without that, it's a crap shoot. More like a nightmare, trying to decipher it all from the files looking at them in text form.
I'd be willing to collaberate with someone on this, if/when the editor is adapted.
Until then, I think I'd rather drive rusty nails into my ****.

Would have to dig into the MD more to see if its possible
Yeah. I'm trying to find the icon for now. It's not in the GUI master that I've seen.
It's most likely in a file of it's own, in an overlay/etc, since it's been added to the game from the previous version (rather than revamp the gui master).
I'll find it.
