[AL] Military Transport [7th May 2010 X³:TC 3.1.10]

[Sahvion]

Hotkey doesn't seem to work; I assigned it, but when I click it I get just a beep.

In fact, I haven't seen a single military transport since I installed the script... beginning to wonder if it's even working (I have the library files installed, and I do use two other scripts of Lucike..)

[Saetan]

Mhmm, ok, it's somewhat of hidden in the manual ... do you have the correct argon and military ranks?

[...]

Military Transport

Distinguished members of the Argon federation, who don't belong to the Argon military themselves, are allowed to recruit the skilled personnel as well, as the Argon military needs large funds and has to rely on any additional revenue.

[...]


Recruitment of personnel

As a distinguished member of the Argon federation, military transports are marked in terms of color on the sector map. A blue marking indicates a transport currently transporting turret personnel, a red marking indicates an empty transport. (Federation Guardian / Fighter Chief)

Argon Military Express Freighter

[Sahvion]

Yea, I missed that fighter rank one. Looks like I need to up my rank a bit more

Thanks Saetan.

No, you don't need special software for this mod. After installing this mod, there is new command under Combat with MEFOS in its name. There, you can set different weapons group and see where military transport are (however you need to have combat rank "Fighter Chief" and race rep "Federation Guardian" to be able to see transports and to do bussiness with them).

If you have fullfied requirements, you just need to dock in station before full transport arrive (full transports have name in blue, empty in red) and after transport have docked, you will be hailed with offer of personnel (just don't forget you need cargo lifesupport system at your ship).

EDIT: I mean Argon rep "Federation Guardian" or higher.

[darthmoll]

got some work to do i guess

Are you using old versions of the scripts, where MEFOS and MTP still didn't get fully seperated? In the most recent versions of MTP, MTP has its own hotkey to open the flight plan of the transporters. I think, it shouldn't be inside the MEFOS console too anymore.

I recetnly reinstalled TC, but last time i played (March, i think), there was MTP mod and MEFOS mod(two seperate), with route of MTP shown inside MEFOS console (IIRC).

Ok, if that was the first half of march, it fits with the changelog:

21st March 2010 (Version 3.1.07)

• The flightplan can now be shown via an own hotkey.
• Several small improvements.

I see, my bad.

Overall, script is great. But there is one big flaw - you HAVE to ally with argon to use it.

There is no real reason to narrow player choice to Argon only!
What with script like RFF, IR, MBR and other war-scripts? WHy player HAS to be on argon side?

I doubt Lucike will change that..I guess I need to fix it myself ;/

and there is plenty of things that could be done with races - for example if you want to improve your ships stats you'd need to employ a technician of given race (one that produced this ship).

With personnel transporter you can train any personell by yourself. I just have trained some navigator-traders out of marines, it works great. I though about completly deactivating military transports (the vessels, not the script itself as its the base for the personell) for my own game ... only problem then: Getting enough gunners for MEFOS

[djrygar]

AH, I see

I'm using MARS so I dont need gunners. Ok, I'll try with training

[Requiemfang]

Personally compared to MARS I like this script because those personal seem far more accurate... also... they switch out weapons according to what type of ship is harassing you, and they happen to leave the weapons in the turrets instead of what MARS does

[bung_dorji]

is there any complete guide to use all of this script ?? start from jump beacon,personel and military transport, MEFOS, ECS and how to train the marines, i really mean from the start because to fully operate the script it has many links that seperate it but the function is back-up one to other



please show me if there is any link to how to used all of this script

(sorry for my bad english)

@ Saetan

Just out of curiosity, Could "pilots for hire" for player owned ships (m3, m4 & m5, maybe even m6 class) be added to this?

I know X3 Reunion had them, it's just something I kinda miss. Thought it added something to the game even though they were still AI.

[5r6]

So.. are there any plans to make this functionality available to those of us who don't like to play Argon?

[Strategist]

where can I find an Argon Military Express Freighter, are they only available on Argon Prime?

[Saetan]

The transporters fly through the whole universe. There is a flight plan, which you can access with high enough ranks after you set the hotkey for it in your control options. This flight plan will show the actual sector and the target sector of any transporter in the universe.
