I think, it's not possible to deliver wares to a docked ship. If all your tries go wrong, try to deliver the wares to the EQ itself. If you want to use your TL as cargo space extension, you could try to run CLS on it to, only with the command to load the wares.

Also, keep the pilot ranks in mind. A cls pilot has to be at least a "Supplier" to deliver its wares to a TL!

How does the wait for signal command work? Am I supposed to be able to set up a trigger for a signal, choose a command somewhere to send a signal? I have a fleet of TL's for deployment with a mistral topping off their jump fuel. I want to do the same(plus missiles and such) for combat fleets in the future, but don't want the suppliers to jump into a furball asking "Can I take your order?"

There's a hotkey in the game controls, you have to set for.

Jeraal · Post by **Jeraal** » Mon, 13. Dec 10, 08:29

So, if I have several supply ships set to service fleets in opposite corners of the X-verse, sending the signal will launch all of them?

Saetan · Post by **Saetan** » Mon, 13. Dec 10, 09:14

I never used that feature by myself, but as much as I know:

The hotkey only applies to the players ship. AI controlled playerships may send their own supply signal, if the script supports that (again, I never used such things, so I'm not sure if there is any, maybe SRS by Lucike)

Only CLS Mk2 which have the ship, which sends the signal, in their waypoint lists, will react.

I recently, uh... ran over... one of my CLS pilots. Interestingly enough, the guy evidently bailed just before the impact; after swinging around, I now have a Major Deal Kleo Silsarna in my cargo bay.

My question is, can I get him back in the cockpit? Trying to at the moment, got his replacement ship all set up but he's not having it. He's just chilling in my cargo, likely in shock from having his employer plow him down absentmindedly. Don't know if it's even possible to do this, but if it is I'd like to; level 7 pilots aren't free, you know.

I do have several other of Lucike's scripts installed, including the libraries and the Security and Rescue service. I don't know if any of that matters for this. I don't have any script or mod that affects bailing, at least as far as I know.

You have to use the Personnel Transporter script to get him back in the cockpit. I forget the requirements exactly, but I usually move him to a TP's cargo bay, then access the TP's Additional Ship Commands and select Personnel Transporter. From there, fiddling with the menus should get it done.

I love this script and have been using it with great results for a long time.

But now I'm having a problem with External CLS's ignoring a player HQ.

The CLS log below is from a TL. But a TS that's doing local runs from an SPP to the HQ is doing the same thing.

External CLSs will take goods from the HQ and deliver them to consumers IF I manually deliver the goods to the HQ. And they collect all the goods from their assigned suppliers.

But even if they have a full cargo bay, and the HQ has room, they won't ever deliver the goods TO the HQ.

I have Dockware MGR installed, but whether I set limits at the HQ or not seems to make no difference. They'll take from the HQ until it is dry, and then sit there at one of their suppliers with needed goods (on standby), but never actually make the delivery.

Here's that log from one of them:

I'm having a tough time getting this to work. Going off the quick start guide:

Quick start

Equip a TS class transporter (Mercury Super Frieghter) with navigational software MK1 and Commodity Logistics Software MK1 (Done)

Assign a homebase (Done)

I can open CLS Internal from the ships Trade Window, but am unable to add wares from the homebase.

I click 'select wares from homebase' > 'add ware' > 'energy cells' > 'average price'...Then it just keeps bouncing back to the add wares menu.

Might it have something to do with the factory hub I am home-based at?

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

Hey quick question here if anyone monitors this thread lol

My question is how can i get my CLS pilots to stop buying fighter drones?

I have a little training facility set up with 10 discoverers(lol that spelling just does not look right) ferrying wheat to a rimes fact who sells it at wholeseller prices to the general public

Only problem is, when the trainees reach Supplier rank they go and fill half their cargo bay up with 10 fighter drones, which I guess isn't so bad since this whole set up isn't really mission critical other than getting the trainees trained.

And the script says that only if you install Fight Command software MK 1 will they buy fighter drones, however none of my discos were purchased with any fight command software. I guess its really gonna get tuff when they decide to go buy 20 mosi. missles as well lol! Any ideas?

Which factory do you have?

Not sure about the discoverer, but is it possible that it already has the fight command software pre-installed?

It doesn't say anything about having any pre-installed extensions like M6s/M7s/M2s/etc, and the fact that when you purchase a discoverer you have to install the fight command softwares yourself seem to confirm this

*Edit*

I just did a bit more research and I noticed that the Argon Discoverer Raider variant has both fight command softwares preinstalled along with a triplex scanner, however, I am using Haulers and not Raiders and Haulers do not list any pre-installed extensions...wonder if there something wacky going on here...

Could anyone help me out with internal commodity logistics?

I have several equipment docks (modded for higher capacity myself), and a fleet of TL ships hauling the cargo around with CLS2, but it does not do everything that I really need, where CLS1 is perfect for my case.

The issue is that I cannot assign TL a homebase (i.e. equipment dock) and hense the CLS1 seases to work, although the opening post in this thread states that TLs can be used with CLS1.

If its impossible to fix easily, could anyone tell me if I will be able to run CLS1 if I remove the condition for the homebase requirement in scripts.

Please install the ship's tools.

Look in the advanced ship commands. So you can set a home base for huge ships.

Hi all, so I got the CLS up and running last night. Everything was running nice and smoothly for a while, so I let it sit on SETA while I went and ran some errands around town. After getting back, I discovered one of my freighter pilots was now buying fighter drones from a paranid equipment dock instead of delivering energy cells to my silicon mine! Anyone else seen anything like this happen?

-edit- so turns out the freighter was buying the drones for his own defense! Impressive! Anyway, new issue - seems that once my pilots get up to the Forwarding Agent level they stop working. They go to idle, no message about why or what they're doing, just a few saying "hey I took some training" and then they go idle once they hit the Forwarding Agent level.

Saetan · Post by **Saetan** » Thu, 24. Mar 11, 19:38

Idle often means, there are to dangerous enemies somewhere on the route. It also could mean, they didn't get payment (but then you would get a message into your logbook too).

If you make an "Analysis to log" and take a look into the log (a text-file, just beneath your savegame-directory) afterwards, there will be the coordinates of the enemy, which causes the idle.

I'm trying to start an internal commodities trader for my production complex, but when I try to add consumers I never get the list that you mentioned. I even reinstalled the entire script and still got nothing, am I doing something wrong. Is there something more require for me to be able to get something started?

Saetan · Post by **Saetan** » Tue, 29. Mar 11, 20:29

Hello

Which list? I don't get it ...

Anuke · Post by **Anuke** » Tue, 12. Apr 11, 21:51

If you are still listening I need help. I have the bonus pack version and what I need is for my cls guys to deliver energy cells from a complex with 47 million e cells to two different freight docks. The cls internal guys are doing fine with the other wares but the e cell guys are just sitting there. I also tried external cls but they just sit there on stand by. On internal they won't load the e cells themselves but if I do it manually they will deliver them. I have tried this with setting the e cells to products in the cage menu and with no jump re supply set. What is happening here?

Triaxx2 · Post by **Triaxx2** » Tue, 12. Apr 11, 22:41

Did you give the Externals buy, or load orders at the starting point? And Load or sell at the destination?
