[SCR] Landing/Docking Booster

[Gazz]

(Das entsprechende deutsche Topic ist hier.)

This script adds one hotkey.

It can be used if your ship or the ship you have targeted is currently approaching a station or carrier with the intention of landing.

The result?
The ship will speed through the landing approach with it's regular cruising speed instead of flying with 40-100 m/s.
Especially useful with the silly big terran stations where you tavel through 20+ km of landing corridor...

The ship should also not get "stuck" as often as before, ideally never again.
That happened a lot to me when landing on carriers.
My ship sat there with 0 speed... forever.
Not any more. =)

I'm trying to unregister the hotkey, but my grasp of scripts is still too limited so I failed. Don't suppose you got a uninstall script for it?

[kelmen]

ya, I manually removed those scripts files, but the hotkey setting is in the game.

is there a proper way to uninstall this?

[angrysquirrel]

can you make this a .spk file?

I installed this, but it doesn't seem to be working for me. I have a Zephyrus and am trying to get my Scimitar to dock. It will (sometimes), but when I press the hotkey I just get a message "No Aim", and it doesn't approach any faster.

Any ideas?

Also, would this script allow a ship to dock to a moving carrier? I assume not since the AI won't with out the script, but thought I would ask.

The Scimi must be docking or trying to. Just like the first post says...

If it's out there fighting, it is "no aim" for this script because it's a docking script, not a fighting script.

[mesasone]

Nope, I've ordered it to dock, and if you bring up the info on the ship, it says that it is landing. Just taking it's sweet ass time.

Sounds strange, I never encountered that myself.


Gazz, could you please be bothered to make an uninstall script for the hotkey for those of us that'd like to remove it?

[davidmi58]

Can't get this to work either. Or maybe I am not working it right. I pick a station as target, set the auto pilot and press the hot key. I hear a voice say "ready" but nothing happens.

This seems like it would be really great if it would work.

[Gazz]

I dunno. I did the exact same thing and it worked.

Granted, there were no fanfares or fireworks - it simply worked as designed.
