Great update

Maybe hosting it on steam workshop might be an option? Easier for people having issue's with the download site.

I've been using the new version for about 2 hours now and both my trade ships seem to be doing perfectly. They are making the trades without issue and transferring the funds back to my account ok.

Great work Mr Picard

Update:

0.24
- If no suitable trade is found, flies the dealer for a new place in his reach.
- Various optimizations when loading a saved game.

Great stuff

I really like the idea that the trade ship will move if it finds no new trades

This is shaping up to be a totally required mod, thanks very much for the work you're putting in

I was wondering, would it be feasible to add in 'blacklist' functionality? Say for a plot game to block the trader from going to albion and getting ripped to shreds. I figure the game's map is unlikely to be useable for this sort of selection, but maybe a small 3rd party app like MadJoker used for NESA to set the config file?

Btw I've noticed a glitch with the menu - with bk mod installed or not, trying to order a ship to take me to (even taranis) will throw up a menu wheel with only universe provider option showing. Also happening for refuel command.

John, you are awesome

I guess you might be aware of this so sorry if I am stating the obvious.

I just wanted to mention that when the X3:TC/AP Mark III Trade Software was created, it had the same clever idea. Unfortunately, the author forgot about what to do when something unplanned happened, such as needing to get more jump fuel or needing to change the trade route due to an offer changing by the time the ship arrived. In those circumstances, the ship would default to traveling through unsafe, blacklisted sectors.

So basically, just in case it helps, don't forget the unexpected

Thanks once again for your hard work.

Still seeing odd menu artifacts with 0.25 : following screenshot of ordering a taranis to refuel

edit : the refuel takes place after pressing ESC to kill Provider menu

Update 0.26
- Fixed menu bug
- Increases basic jumprange
- Any necessary leap cells are additionally controlled directly in front of a trading
- Improved stopping the merchants and miners
- Added scanner and attack messages
- Enemy zone is now detected correctly

Thanx Yorrick for testing

@DIMFIRE
I support gascollector miners yet. You have to put in more as 10 x gascollector drones (and more as 10 transport drones) instead the scoop drones. Do you mean this?

rainking2020 · Post by **rainking2020** » Mon, 2. Jun 14, 10:58

I just updated to version 0.26 and now I have no menu for the trader when contacting a ship in my squad. Only the default commands are in the advanced menu.
