[Bonus Plugin] Cartel Shield Hacker

The script works off the shield. What happens when you try beaming of 25mj shields from a m3 ship carrying 20 or so.
Would all 20 shields count towards the total or would it be the installed slots.
Dose beaming of pirate ships effect goner ranking aswell?
Dose ware size effect the rate of being spotted?

Is there any hints/tips to selecting the best target other than being low shields and a weapon dealer.

Personal note.
Wouldnt it of been better to use the command to see ware in cargobay rather than selecting through all known wares.
I sometimes find it hard trying to go 200m manualy stering and going through the list for the correct ware. To put forth my view on the next update - Maybe extend the range to following distance of the largest ship from m3-m5 range rather than a set 200m.

considering the range I don't find it that hard. Actually, if it's easier it will be boring, & remember "you have to work for your meal". except the thing that you have to browse in a huge lists of wares ,well this is somehow annoying, I'd rather prefer to choose the ware from the scanned cargo list, and press the arrows key to choose the number of wares to hack, then hit enter to begin the process (the same like ejecting sth from a ship), that would be much much better.
There's also some kind of bug maybe with ships carrying more than one type of missiles, when i try to hack one of them it give me the "installed on ship" error for all of them, how come a ship can install more than one kind of missiles !?
Now the way I do it: I open the hack command after I scan the ship, and highlight the ware to be stolen, than I use my mouse to adjust the speed on the speed bar down only to enter the 200 meter barrier, than when i'm in i right click & press "enter" to begin the transfer & hit "escape" to remove the menus & than finally take control of the ship manually . fewww! yes it seems hard but all this only took just one sec or less to do, give it a try & enjoy hacking

I search every pirate station and i didn't find that item...I'm using Cycrow "Find all pirate base"... I understand that item must be sold ...not to find him in BBS....and another question....what exactly the name...is
"cartel shield hacker" or what???

what command I must find under the "piracy" in ship command? to use "cartel shield hacker"...I'm asking because
I found in pirate base a software called "scrambling signature software" in BBS and cost something around 1000000 credits...is the same or is something else?

it's called the Cartel Shield Hacker, and it's position can change each time you load the game.

Dan · Post by **Dan** » Tue, 11. Dec 07, 12:33

I understand....but I don't load the game between these searches...and I didn't find him...

Have you tried all of them, including the one in a Xenon sector?

Tried looking for it, and like nearly every poster, couldn't find it. So, being the dirty sod I am, I try to use LV's cheat script and 'Add Ware' it to my ship, however, it doesn't appear in the list. Not under Cartel ~~~~, not under Shield ~~~~, not under Hacker ~~~~. What is the exact name of it?

I'm using XTM, and I have a whole load of ReadText wares, if it would be one of them, what would be its number?

Any help greatly appreciated...

EDIT: Never mind, searched the script itself, System Override Software Mk2.

Just a wierd thought, but can someone use this to hack weapons and other stuff off of a Kha'ak ship?

Which ship class can use this script? I tested on M7 class (Hyperion), M3+ class (Argon Eclipse) and M5 class (Argon Discover Hauler) and still nothing happend.

Is possible that this script can be used only on pirate vessel?

As moggy2 and others have stated repeatedly in this thread, it can only be used on Smallships, i.e., TS, TP, M5, M4, M3, M3+. So no M7's.

Do you also have a Transporter Device onboard? Those are also required, as stated in the first post of this thread. The CSH hacks the shields and the TD beams stuff off. It's the reason you lose Goner rep when you use the CSH. They don't appreciate you using their TD's for nefarious purposes.

Yes, I have. Transporter device, cargo scanner and CSH installed on class ship M5. I have on board everything what is named on this topic and still doesn't work.

I expected new item in menu, for example "break a shield" or "beam cargo" but I have still old menu without new options

Cr0ssbow · Post by **Cr0ssbow** » Tue, 26. Feb 08, 15:23

The Menu is in your Piracy Options and it's called Steal Cargo

Maybe it's a my problem. Let me ask for one stupid question: What is Piracy Options?

I can't find anything like that in my game.
Can you give here some screenshot, it help me so much

Post by **Nanook** » Wed, 27. Feb 08, 00:45

In your command console options list, you should see, depending on what's installed on the ship:

1. Navigation
2. Combat
3. Trade
4. Special
5. Piracy
6. ....
etc.

If you edit Cycrow's Salvage Claim Software script t files (which is the cause of this conflict), to remove the line(s) about the System Override Software Mk2, then the Cartel Shield Hacker gets renamed correctly. Just a helpful little thing to do, especially when you're trying to figure out which ship you left it on. Thankfully, this change is easy and doesn't require a restart. So it just makes life that little bit easier.

A small trick if you ride a small cargo bay ship and do not want to change the luxury seat of your figher to a hardy lorry seat and transfer the software; you can have a TS following you and you can transfer wares to the TS SIMULTANEOUSLY with stealing.
Just initiate the stealing and then open the transfer with your TS, which has an order to follow you or the victim ship.
I was riding Nova Raider and came across a Pirate ship with 800 crystals; I had to call in my TS and transferred half before Paranid Patrol came and destroyed the pirate ship.
