[MOD] Mobile Repair Service

[Assailer]

Mobile Repair Service
--------------------------

Using this mod allows you to assign ships for repair duty. Each hull point repaired will cost you 10 credit, while 20 for NPCs.

Hail the selected player owned ship (preferably a fast ship!) and tell the pilot to 'Start Repair Service'.

The ship name should get a [MRS] tag at this point, and the pilot will look for the closest damaged player ship in the sector.
Once it finds a ship it will fly there and will repair it for some credits.

It's important to mention it will only repair ships with at least 20% charged shield.
Having shields up a little usually means that ship has been out of combat for some time, so it's safe to approach.

To stop the repair mode, hail the pilot again and select 'Stop Repair Service'.

Changes:
1.01 - moved command texts to T files to support other languages.
1.02 - removed unused highway parameter from move_to command. added boost option the same time.
1.03 - in case target moves away, the repair ship will try to chase it for some time before marking it 'unreachable'
1.04 - added interrupt handlers
1.05 - repair service will take orders from friendly NPC and charge them double cost. Repair cost can be edited in mobilerepairservice.xml file line 14: $credit_per_hull. Thanks TheEarl for the NPC idea!
1.06 - added Russian translations. Thanks Alexalsp!
1.07 - fixed on START the pilot will set new home sector. Thanks RudolphleBreton for reporting!
1.08 - added German translations. Thanks X2return! Changed the way credits are calculated.

Nice idea,

How change the credits cost?

thanks

[alexringess]

That's a very good idea ^^

Why didn't you publish your mod on nexus ?
I know that some ppl don't like it but it's a bit confortable for the users because once you've downloaded a mod, you can check easily if it have an update.

Anyway, this feature was missing and I'm gonna try your mod to see how it work and giving you my feedback.

Indeed! I reused my other X:RB Missionary mod here, and it seems the usehighways has been removed for X4. I will fix this asap.

I agree I like using nexus as well, and it shouldn't be long before they add X4 support to the Vortex manager.

Another interessting thing would be npcs hire the repair ship and pay money.

Nice idea, i will think about it. Perhaps if there is no player ship around, but there are friendlies in need we could serve them

Lolll thats cool idea!!

I will then start a space mecanix buisness instead of a trade one!

think ill call it: Warjager's Ultra Space mechanix... ''We repair what you failed'' lol

[Assailer]

I have done this, but need to test it before uploading the update.

[siath70]

Just a suggestion

But, how about making a setting we can make it more expensive.

Almost all ships I checked their chassis/hp = a range between 54 - 60 cr an hp.

Just seems to me to be a bit cheap at 1 cr per hp.

[Assailer]

I have alrady raised repair cost to 10Cr for player, and you get 20Cr per hull for NPC repairs. Player only pays for materials
