nope, they should still be available at pirate bases, if you dont find any, let me know, and ill increase the chance of it showing up

[Trevelvis]

I have looked now at all the pirate bases I can find in my game about 6 or 7 and not a sniff of any, which is a bit annoying as they were there when I couldnt afford any , but now they have disappeared

[Cycrow]

it could just be the random against u, it happens sometimes, but i'll check the priorities

[Trevelvis]

I have eventually managed to find some, but was really after a Raptor. Are the pirate base offers random or is there a place where each ship might be available ???

[Cycrow]

the ships are random

[Cycrow]

V1.32
* Reduced price of gate positions
* Reduced price of station positions
* Added more checks in pirate capitol ship
* Change freqency of all messages

[Trevelvis]

Reduced price of gate positions
* Reduced price of station positions

They seem alot harder to find now I have looked in 3 or 4 sectors at every station without finding one ????

[Cycrow]

rreally ? that is strange, coz i actaully increased the chance of it turning up, ill have to test and c how often its showing up

[Trevelvis]

I have been able to find eventually some gate ones and have found 1 station one, It probably just me as I noticed them alot more before when I didnt need them , now I wanted some to check if pirate bases still existed in certain sectors that I just hadnt come across yet, I cant find any

[Cycrow]

sods law i guess

i could increase the frequency, althou its is pretty high atm

[Trevelvis]

It s ok only wanted it to look for pirate bases I might of missed , but dont need to now as got my Raptor. Thanks

6. Reputation Hack

Is it possible to hack Goners too?
Most of "no plot starts" have Goner Sceptic 50%, so only salvage insurance is byuable. And there is no real possibility to improve this race relation. (My investment of 9 mil. cr. into insurances brings no improvement )

EDIT: I see Goners not included (plugin.bbsextra.racerep.xml line 014-029).
I think 3 more lines can help ...

Code: Select all

    $Rep = get notoriety from race Goner to race Player
    skip if $Rep > 0
     append Goner to array $Reps

... so if Goners has negative reputatiton, it can be hacked

Cycrow, may I try it? Any objections?

[Cycrow]

yep, goners should easily be able to be hacked

actaully, i think ill put that in the next version

Hey there thanks for the great script, however I finally decided to purchase a ship from a pirate base, because this race rep thing takes forever... Well I purchased a Split Raptor (I think it was) for about 80 mill+/-... When I finally got the ship, I started transferring freight over from a super freighter that I use to supply my Battlecruisers... So I transfered over 6 1GJ sheilds and 16 AFAAs, and 8 BFAAs. Here is the problem, everytime I tried to load the AFAAs into the proper slot, it would always erase the change that I did and went back to how I received it... I will try this example:

When I received the Ship on the left and right slots there was

1. empty
2. empty
3. empty
4. BPPC

I Changed them both to:

1. AFAA
2. AFAA
3. AFAA
4.AFAA

It held for about 4 seconds and then reverted back to the original configuration...

I hope you understand what I am trying to describe...

In a nutshell I can not change any of the weapon loadouts... because when I do it does not keep the ones I want in place...

I did dock at Argon Prime ship yard and equipment dock to make sure all of the necessary updates and equipment was installed, so that can not be it... Any help would be greatfull


Thanks...

[Cycrow]

im guessing you fought off the yaki first and then got the ship ?

i've not noticed this problem, but to be fair i never tryed installing anything on it.

althou, the shouldn't be anything that removes ur weapons, there shouldn't be any scripts running when it becauses urs which is odd.
do u make sure u confirmed ur selection when changing weapons ?
selecting the weapons, then pressing enter to confirm it ?

[marnediv]

Yes, here is the sequence of events:

1. bought ship from Pirate Base in Preist Pity
2. went to some off the wall location in Bala Gi's Joy
3. fought off Yakis
4. by then the ship was blue (already owned by me)
5. called in my super freighter with all of the goodies
6. I transported to my super freighter so I could teleport all of the goddies ie. sheilds, AFAAs, BFAAs, missles etc.
7. transported myself back to my nova
8. sent super freighter back to get more goodies
9. docked in my new carrier with my nova
10. transfered my jumpdrive, and all navigation equipment from my nova to my new ship
11. jumped to Argon Prime shipyard to repair new ship


Keep in mind that from step 7 and forward at different times I tried to install the new weapons load out. Also I did confirm the installation by hitting the "enter" button. It did change the weapons for about 4 seconds and then went back to how it was when I originally took possesion of the ship.

I hope this helps. I read through the posts on this particular topic and I did not see anyone else that had this problem...

I am running X3 ver. 1.3
the scripts that I have installed are as follows:

Overtune
BBS offers 1.3
complex manager
cargo delivery service
gateless jumpdrive
mts product finder


And that is about it... I hope this helps once again, and thanks for you prompt reply...

[Cycrow]
