[MD] Ranks for Xenon, Kha'ak, Pirates and Yaki [V1.03][09/21/2011]

Post by Commander SAMU » Wed, 21. Sep 11, 19:32

Ranks for Xenon, Kha'ak, Pirates and Yaki

English - Deutsch

This MD-Script extends the pilot information with ranks for Xenon, Kha'ak, Pirates and Yaki. The current rate for each race will be correctly refreshed as it is working for other races and companies. Thats possible because the game provides these information but does not show it to the player. The new ranks will be listed in the company section. Inspired by Numeric Race Rank Titles by Gazz rank numbers will also be shown. In contrast to his version I use numbering from -5 to 10 as normally used by Egosoft.

Unfortunately Egosoft does not make any proposals for titles of the new ranks. Therefore I designed them by myself, hope you like them ;)

Thanks to Nicoman35 for the English translation!

The rank titles are called as follows: Screenshot: [ external image ]

How do you mean the ranks will be listed in the company section. I also thought being allies of the Xennon, Khaak and some Pirates was impossible. Im confused and not even drunk yet!

Kha'ak and Xenon aren't very useful since you can never gain rep with them. You'll always be at -5. For the Pirates and the Yaki, however, you can advance to the highest rank, if you wish.

@Commander SAMU: Nice. However, could you make a version adding only the Pirates and Yaki? Since the Xenon and Kha'ak are irrelevant for most of us, removing them would make the race listing a bit less cluttered. :)
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

Well I thought there are some mods out there where you can play as Xenon/Khaak or get reputation. I dont use them but I like to see all races in my list :)
And Yaki and Pirates ranks are very helpful. For example if you want hack a pirate/yaki station. As far as I know the station will only become neutral if you are not at bad reputation.
Or if you want to start the missions at Dukes. You can kill their HQ (or let it kill by KI) and wait until its respawn. Only if you are at good reputation the station will become neutral.
That was the basic idea why I created this script.

But I added a smaller version for you ;)

I tried unzipping to the game folder. All the files in the t folder are there. The director folder was created with one file inside. When I start the game, my pilot screen is the same, no change. Is there something special I have to do to enable the mod?

You need to change the game on *modified*
By installing some other script that will do it automatically, or Opening The Script Editor.

Been busy for the past couple of months and missed the release of this, certainly is going on the recommended list for my AWRM/Xtra Starts :D

I award this... two half-pounder chilli burgers, a yard of the best real ale, with a few shots of the best single malt scotch! :)

It works just fine in AP. I am using it for about 3 weeks now. I am also wondering why something as simple in its brilliance as this MD script didn't make it to the bonus pack or something...

Thank you for this great rank idea. It's more realistic this way and titles names are well chosen.
It should be official and i wonder why Egosoft didn't do so :roll: :)

I'd love to play into a Yaki faction in fact, not necessary ennemy with everyone. A little like "Scavengers" faction in Freelancer (smuggling, etc...)
