So, I know people are using this script. I was thinking of getting it, but would like some opinions concerning how useful it is. How about it? Worth getting is it? I don't want to use allot of scripts, but would welcome some suggestions on the ones that are good/useful? Thanks all.

p.s. cannot wait for that star trek mod. some of those ships looked really kewl. Hat's off to the people programming it!

I find it pretty usefull for a local defense type of thing, but make sure not to use it with M1/M2/TL ships, some people have had it mess up their game when they did.

that's useful to know...

I'd considered grabbing a patrol script, but I was only planning on using it with the big ships! better think again.

What kind of problem is that? I don't see the problem yet, and I use Patrol 5 sectors with my Xenon Ks with no problem at all.

Hello there! I've just been browsing the posts and came across this. I've only just got X2 an dam slowly getting to grps with it. I know this may be a silly question but what does the patrol script actually do and where can i get it from?

Many thanks

It has many uses, but the one I found most useful is to command a M6/M1/M2 ship to patrol 5 sectors. It will jump (if equipped with a Jump Drive and E-Cells) or simply travel to where there are hostilities, and kill them all, provided you place an Adv Nav Sat in each of the 5 sectors.
Hostility is defined by the settings on the ship. For example, I have an M6 patroling the area North/East of Thynn's Abyss, so I set Pirate+Xenon = Friend, and my patrol ship just looks for Khaaks and kills them.

The script also allows you to specify an area (N/S/E/W) that your ship can patrol, but I found that less useful than the 5 sector-patrol.
