Just wanted to follow up on Mk3 in X3R. I started a new vanilla X3R game to test/compare a few things..

After locating various similar ware + rep situations as those that caused trouble in X3TC I was unable to observe the Mk3 stall on a rep-disallowed ware or other rep related stall. Tested as noob and low level ST, beginner UT and level 25 UT.

There are other quirks but nothing that simply stalled the Mk3 from working.

IE: I have had to break the meatsteak cahoona loop a few times. I've witnessed up to 4 sequential trade runs by a level 25 UT, of buying 3 meatsteaks to sell at the trade station in Treasure Chest. Basically the UT pops into Treasure Chest and becomes a ST for as long as the IS cahoona loop lasts.

Sure won't be buying averice with that sort of pilot dedication. ;)

Just for FYI to any X3R players reading this. I have found eventually the Mk3 will go into standby, waiting for the market, in Empire's Edge. While this is a good sector to be sure, I have -never- seen a ST go into standby in Patriarch's Retreat. Perhaps due to the size of the sector. Nonetheless I am inclined to think Patriarch's Retreat may surpass Empire's Edge in both earnings and pilot training.

You might want to do a precis of this thread's findings in the Universe forum as, for example, not very many X3R players are likely to be watching X3TC/AP Tech Sp.

MK3 was pretty much re-written for TC, but neither version checks rep for specific wares (as far as I can tell from a quick look, anyway).

If you're referring to the actual scripts I can only suggest it's in there somewhere in the X3R Mk3..

It certainly appears to know, despite alluring deals, that a ware is not able to be bought. Granted I was only able to set/find the stage for a ST start. However, the fact that I have 8+ in game days on X3R and zero stalls like in TC, seems to add evidense of ware rep checking in X3R Mk3 code.
