And here's the reason why, as I already though of. You CAG is simply scared to death ...

[...]

Detected enemy ship: Pirate Brigantine in Perdition's End (X 12689 Y 5090 Z -20249)

[...]

[TestingTesting]

there's no satellite coverage in that area, still not got that far yet.

so the ship isn't moving because of possible threat detected..... then why doesn't it say that instead of IDLE

"Threat Detected, Waiting" something like that......

NOTE...... the pirate that was there left a LONG time ago, but i don't have sector coverage in that area yet with SATS (not sure if that makes a difference, hope it does, otherwise the pilot was so scared he must of died as he didn't wake back up and it has been quite sometime since the threat left)

[Saetan]

If there are dangerous hostiles on path (that means, in a sector, even if they are far away) Lucikes trading scripts will idle. Just translate idle as "Threat Detected, Waiting" for yourself.

After detecting an enemy they'll idle for some time, to check again if there is still a tread. If it's gone, they start their duties again, if it's not, they'll idle once more.

What's dangerous, depends from the equipment of a freighter. With fight command software installed, they'll be less often scared. But they will always idle for a hostile that big as a M7 or bigger.

Hostiles even don't need to be in scanner range, also the coords in the log should be always correct for the moment, it was created. Maybe the brigatine already left for another place until you got there, but's still in the same sector.

[TestingTesting]

yeah, been looking at it, i think your absolutely right, i think that a threat has been detected somewhere, even if i can't see it, perhaps like you said, along the path.

fact is the Script is very mature now (3.4.01), so i will not be so hasty in the future....... at he beginning of the game when you only have two TS running every credit counts.....

things seem to get better the more i lay down the SAT network, probably because i can see more, so i see the threats now!

Question, does a SAT network influence the script in anyway, or is the SAT network just for player use?

[Saetan]

Satellites aren't necessary for the script itself as it find's possible traderuns completly without them, but players have the possibility to only allow trading in sectors with satellites in it.

You also have the possibility to white- or blacklist whole sectors. So you could blacklist any sector which has often hostile forces in it to keep the CAG's running with much less idle-times.

[TestingTesting]

different game, different location, getting same problem though, have a look.

can someone help i have tried to restart, but nothing all it does is just sit there.

I'm never sure, if I mix that up, but doesn't that mean, that your TS is already filled with cargo, so there is (to less) space left for profitable trading?

If the TS is filled with cargo, you could try to empty it even if the loaded cargo is already silicia or ore (although, I meant it should be able to sell previos loaded wares too).

[TestingTesting]

i'll have a look, see if i can slim some fat of the ship, of work for a few weeks now, thought i'll get some AP in getting ready for Rebirth, i'll mess around a bit, first i'll see about slimming down these TS, i do have a tendency off outrigging them with the best stuff.

thanks.

Hey, what about Docking Computer that is probably never used by CAG's even in the latest version from Lucike's website?
I'm no mod dev, but after analysing the scripts i found that Docking Computer is installed and available for 5 lvl pilots, but never gets enabled because probably com.agent.equipment.landing.computer is nowhere set to enabled.
Can anyone confirm that and maybe contact Lucike to get his confirmation and find the solution?
I found that the scripts use !move function to get CAG's to work, does that function use Docking Computer automaticaly?

[veris]

Also found a bug when some of my pilots that are CAGs are on the list of CLS and are not clickable and configurable.
Is that because the former CLS1/2 was set to be a CAG? Has anyone found a proper solution to remove CAGs from CLS1/2 list?.

[Scoob]

Here's a frustrating issue...

I have a CAG buying Crystals for my SPP. Some are availble 4 jumps away but the CAG would need to pass through an Unknown sector where there's currently a Kha'ak M6 on the prowl. Quite rightly it stays at home.

However, 4 jumps away in the other direction - though friendly space - there are also some Crystals available. Problem is my CAG seems to be locked as it cannot go and buy the ones it initially targeted.

Note: I have NO sectors blacklisted or anything and I'd hoped the CAG would be smart here. Does this smartness possibly come as the CAG levels up? My CAG is an Apprentice at the moment.

Cheers,

Scoob.

[kurush]

I wonder if there is a version of this script that can use jump beacons from AP?

[Litcube]

Perditions End is not adjacent to existing sectors, causing problematic returns on several script and script commands.

[Saetan]

Jump Beacons from Lucike and that one from AP are the same ... that means, CAG and any other script by Lucike can use that jump beacons. But that also means, they need to have navigators on board to do that.

The reason I asked is that the version from Bonus Pack apparently doesn't use them. I wanted to check whether it makes sense to upgrade otherwise perfectly functioning script to what we have on the download link in this thread.
EDIT: Just checked the version from beta bonus pack and apparently it does use JB.

[noname159]

I have an argon-based complex producing e-cells, crystals, meatsteak cahoonas and beef. The only resource I need is silicon wafers, which is imported from my silicon mines.
The thing is, they are not in same sector so I can't add them to complex. As a result, I don't have any more space for keeping silicon wafers. As a result, transports from silicon mines can't unload them. They have to unload them so they can load e-cells and return to silicon mines. Without e-cells, silicon mines stop.
Probably the best solution would be to tell Agent to sell even resources if you have too much of them in stock, same way you configure when they should sell products.
I can buy another transport and tell it to sell silicon wafers for best money, the problem is I don't know any script that does it and stops if stock is less then X percent, lets say 20. So the most probable outcome is, I sell too few silicon wafers, or too many.
Do you know solution?

[cattafett]

in your place i would
A) one CLSmk1 trader at the complex to deliver E-cells to the mine and one CLSmk1 trader at the mine to deliver silicon to the complex
or
B) one CLSmk2 Trader (one with a large cargo bay) set to fill up to half the cargo bay with silicon and take it to the complex and then to fill up to half the cargo bay with E-cells and take it to the mine
that way even if the complex gets full of silicon it should still continue to take E-cells to the mines and the same the other way

I can buy another transport and tell it to sell silicon wafers for best money, the problem is I don't know any script that does it and stops if stock is less then X percent, lets say 20. So the most probable outcome is, I sell too few silicon wafers, or too many.

CAGs can be set to do that in the trade duties you have buy and sell intermediates
when selling intermediates they will never sell if your intermediate ware is below the buy percent amount.
but i'm not sure that they leave that amount so set it so its at least as much as a two full holds of the ship you have selling that ware

[noname159]

1) I use something similar with CLS MK2 trader, one Mistral, but instead of loading half transport only, I first unload everything and then load it again. Not idiot-proof, you still can get it overloaded with silicon wafers and there wouldn't be space to buy e-cells even for jump back. The idea behind Mistral is to keep the price down, its quite fast for 4k-cargo trader and cheap.

2) I know CAG can sell intermediates, in fact because my complex makes resources for itself, apart silicon wafers, all my products are intermediates. Because silicon mines are in different sectors, they are not connected and complex recognize them purely as resource, not intermediates. I dont know about any station apart silicon mines that can produce silicon wafers, which I could add to complex to change wafers into product for that complex. As far as I know, there isn't any. One bad way to fix this would be to buy another transport for each mine, load CAG in and tell it to sell silicon wafers that are higher then X percent. But that is one transport for each mine, if I could solve it in complex, all CAGs there could sell every type of ware I have there. I take complex, apart from being massive production factory, as big warehouse for everything my buildings make, ready to be sold.
Of course, another option how to fix this would be some script that can connect buildings in different sectors. Not very likely.

hi guys, I am a returning player to X3 TC. Decided to try out Albion Prelude.

Firstly, can some1 link me the download for this mod? I have tried all Luckie's download links and they keep coming up with Error 404, not sure if links are broken or he no longer has his download servers up.

the CAG from bonus pack does not work for me properly at all. I went with Terran Commander start. I now have a Food supply and Paste production stations in the Saturn system but my CAGs are constantly going onto idle. They will jump to Altheas, buy E-Cells undock from solar power plant and then sit there idle. They will sometimes target Venus as a location to go to for buying e-cells, then just sit there idle. I have banned them from going into Jupiter or Asteroid belt, but they should be able to use their jump drives to go to Mars and fly to other sectors. After all this stress I just want to download Luckie's version and see if it makes a difference.
