This is my first script that I've made and released, so bear with me please.
First off, this is a script that was made for use with XTM. One of the wares needed for the training was put in by XTM, so you won't have it available if you're not running XTM. Sorry, but this was to fix up an utter annoyance in that game.
Anyways, those who've played XTM will surely know about using the HCF. There is a reasonably ready supply of the Military Personnel, and Slaves, but there isn't any real good supply of Marines, Cyborgs, or Mercenaries. We all know that the Marines are only bested by the Cyborgs, and cost less, but the only way to get the Marines is to sit at the Otas HQ and just keep going into and out of the trade menu 12 times to get the full Marine complement. Tedious. Some people script in the Marines, and just remove the money, still a bit tedious, and slightly ruining of immersion.
My script allows you to train 1/4 of the Slaves in the cargobay of whatever ship the command is run on into Marines. You won't lose the Slaves which don't make the cut, (as then it just gets painful to replace them), but it prevents you from just making an insane amount of Marines in one batch. The training rate is an exponential decay curve, in other words, you can never train all of the Slaves in your cargobay.
But in order to train the slaves, you'll need some equipment. You can't send them into battle with no weapons, so you'll need to get your hands on some Hand Weapons. Plus, in order to teach your slaves the combat techniques they'll need to actually board other ships, you'll also need the Fight Command Software Mk2. But that's not all. You also have to pay 15,000cr per Marine you train, after all, you are making them into the best of the best, don't expect it to be free.
The command can be found in the Combat menu of your ship.
Well, let me know if there's any problems with it (I haven't managed to find any, but they still could be there), and I'm open to any suggestions for improvement.
