=================
v0.06 - Small update adding custom npc macro for Shady. Current game vers 1.24rc4.
v0.05 - Fixed instantiation errors (huge thanks to iforgotmysocks for showing me where i went wrong here)
Shady now resets his inventory on docking.
Tested with 1.23rc2
v0.04 - Fixed null reference line error logs
Significantly reduced Shady's initial sales list
Shady now has consistent look + faction affiliation to Heart of Albion (no checks for standing are made)
Added 'You're Fired!' convo option to allow uninstall
v0.03 - Fixed stupid bug alowing multiple Shady's to spawn
v0.02 - Changed Shady to non-player faction as trading was broken by making him owned by player.
Sorry for any save game mishaps caused by this
Shady takes up residence in the back room of the Skunk, acting as middle man for all your loot selling needs.
There's no getting around it, trawling stations for the correct NPC to sell to is awful. Allowing Shady to
settle in solves this problem nicely.
Access the trade offers by Main Menu > 5 and chat while in space.
Shady is quite terse for your aural pleasure.
To Do
-----
Clean up the code and look at adding interesting features for the 2 spare convo slots.
