Cycrow,
Thank you for the nice assasin missions but with the latest version it seems that there might be a problem. Although I 'm on level 5 with 224000 points I get only M5, M4 waves of ships instead of M3's and M6's I had before. Any advise would be welcome

hmm, well, at the higher levels there is a chance you get the lower missions as well

if u still have found any higher level missions let me know, and look into increaing the chance that you will get higher level ones at higher ranks

Hello (name of player) This is Ban Danna onboard Argon One. Recently (name of target) was visiting the Goner temple, unfortunatly he has stolen the plans for the jumpdrive. As you know we cannot risk these plans falling into the wrong hands.(name of target) must be stopped at all costs. Will you accept this mission?



Pilot, Queen Atreus is most upset, (name of target) has stolen the Queens jewels/money/bathwater (whichever you want).She would like these items returned or the thief killed. Will you help our Queen?


Pilot, (name of target) hasss been placing explossivesss on our sstationsss, thisss cosstsss usss profitsss for repairsss. SStop (name of target) and ssave repairsss. we will give you ssome profitsss. will you help?

pilot, (name of target) is an enemy of Priest Xaar. will you kill (name of target)?

Pilot, I am a man of a high position, (name of target) has found out some sensitive secrets about me. This blackmailer is threatening to give them to my superiors unless i hand over 25 million credits. I do not
have this amount of credits and cannot afford to lose my job. Can you help me out of this mess please?


If i think of any more i'll pass them on.

i preder just a ship id which you have to find maybe occasionally with extra info ie he frequents bliss place or was last seen leaving such and such, apart from that great. higher importance individuals should have escorts, more the merrier which could make it tactical looking for an opportunity. ie you only need to take out the mark so the escorts could be very large.

also making em 1 man missions that u fail using wingmen etc would up the stakes as info is on need to know and wingmen dont need to kmow :P

One thing I've been considering the past couple days is there should be a mode with 'enhanced' NPC ships. An example would be an extremely fast or well shielded (or if i can figure out how to do it) well turreted TP for use in these assassination missions. Think 180 speed with 125MW of shields and a couple HEPT turrets. Minimal cargo though, so hard to use for a player. Or enhanced prototype ships for the bounty missions, or maybe an advanced Xenon P that is an anti-fighter variant. (Full turret coverage, weak front guns, low shield strength but massively fast shield regen).

You could go pretty crazy on similar angles. Ships with one or more crippling weaknesses

sounds good, but its something that will have to be done via a mod, as most of that cant be changed via scripts, of course, if someone wants to make such ships, i could always add them in :)

A few more?


Pilot , we have a problem you can help us with (name of target) has been supplying our enemies with weapons. This needs to be stopped before any more of our troops get killed. Will you take this contract for (credits)?


Pilot (name of target) works for sector 21, they have destroyed one of my crystal fabs. I want them dead as punishment and a detterent for the rest of sector 21 to stay away from my other crystal fab. Would you help me for (credits)?


Pilot This is the Argon weapons development institute. (name of target) has stolen plans for a new weapon we are developing. We have invested millions of credits in this weapon and dont want it falling into our competitors hands. We will pay you (credits) to dispose of this thief. Will you take the job?


Pilot (name of target) hasss taken my profitsss for a sshare in a Nividium mine. The mine doesss not exisst and i cannot get my profitsss back. Teach how not to ssteal from Teladi and i will give you (credits). Will you teach him?


Pilot (name of target) has been selling narcotics all over the know universe. This has got to stop will (credits) be enough to stop his illegal dealings?


Pilot (name of target) has been employing assasins to do jobs, and failing to pay on completion. Not only is this against guild policy it is giving the guild a bad reputation. A price of (credits) has been placed on his death, are you willing to take this mission?

he he i thought it was an idea, ill see wot i can do......mind you its hard enuff to stop playing long enuff to check the forum let alone do much else :lol:

in fact i also thought say theres a vip who going to meeting in x, now you have to take out this mark but he will have escort (depending on his importance of possibly a large size) now mission is need to know so you must attempt it alone, also the powers at be want a good clean hit so its in take out the tp.....and the vip if he ejects and then escape, its minimal fuss so they dont want the escort pilots killed (poitical reasons).

so this would force you to follow and look for a opportunity, strike. and then escape, which would mean you need a fast ship, or jumpdrive (i spose jumpdrive makes it easyier but you can see what im getting at)

killing unessesary pilots would reduce payment ot wipe it out completly, or even make you a mark until you find out who put the price on you and wipe em out (oooh ive gone all complicated and its only 1 mission lol)

i dont know whats easy and whats hard, but great stuff is coming out so far

i think there is a little bug in the script.

i accepted the 'guard a vip' mission, flew to the designated sector, but no vip was there. so i just sat there, waited, but nobody showed up, so the time ran out and i failed the mission.

am i supposed to search for the vip in nearby sectors or something?

ok, the bug about someone else killing the target i will have to look into, someone else has mentioned it as well

basically that should only show up if the AI fighters take out the target, its fine for any of your owned ships to take out the target, your should get complete the mission

i think what the problem is, you may have killed them to quickly and not triggered the attack signal so when checking who the attack was it doesn't display anyone, i will have to look how to get round this problem, or another way to do it

yeah, that might be it. because when i get close ehough to get a sure hit, i empty all my 8 ahepts into the bad guy. he lasts a couple of seconds... 1.5 at most... and when i get the 'failed' message, the ship changes from red to blue. strange...

thanks, man! your scripts are the best!
they add more things for players to do in the otherwise pretty dull universe and are very high quality...
