Captured TS Re-Equiping Itself

[KarlHemmings]

Game Start : Humble Merchant
Game Days : About 2
Version : 1.2
Scripts or Mods : None - Vanilla

I encouraged a "Dukes Dangerous Goods" (Or similar - was red on the screen) Demeter owner to abandon ship, which I then claimed.
At the time I claimed it there was nothing at all installed in the ship, shields, weapons or cargo. I have fixed the ship up (2x5shields, full cargo and speed) and am now using it as a MORT, I only use it for ore runs in and around ore belt and emperors mines.
After a couple of runs it has a single fighter drone MKII and watching the runs from time to time it ends up with 15 mozy missiles - it does not gain these in one single run (I do not know if it gets anymore - I sell them off at 15) and it does not (appear to) dock at an equipment dock to buy these on route.
This ship is being run exclusively with me out of sector (I am currently heading towards Rhonkars Clouds mapping out the Split sectors).

EDIT
Added game start, time and vanilla.
Added clarification that this equipment seems to appear without being bought.

Are you using Manual Trade Run (or similar), or just dock at & trade?

[KarlHemmings]

I am using the manual trade run - Manual best buy and Manual best sell commands.
It has Trade Commands, Best Buy, Best Sell, Nav Commands and Triplex scanner. (I can not afford a jump drive for it at the moment).
It does not have Fight Commands 1 or 2 and it does not have any turrest commands.
So Manual best buy - ore- 3 jumps - manual best sell - ore - 3 jumps.

This is what a CAG used to do in X3R. The CAG when it got to a certain level (forgotten off the top of my head) used to run off and buy drones and missiles to defend itself.

As Missile Defence & the CAG itself were added to X3R by the Bonus pack it does beg the question has Egosoft tried to add some of the functions from the bonus package to X3TC in some form?

[Carlo the Curious]

That was my thought also, but it was keyed on Fight Software for CAG, and as far as I can tell from looking at the MTC scripts, they don't do any auto-equipping.

Obviously the previous owner left elves on board .

Perhaps check into the command console for the ship and see if it has a resupply value set for the missiles? The option should be at the very bottom. I know you said it doesn't appear these are being purchased, but I have seen similar behavior in my manual traders. However, I bought my ships and set a threshhold for resupply. A capped ship should have scripts reset. Just something to try

You may well be onto something - I have been watching my ship and have not seen it do anything other than fly from ore mine to factory and back to ore mine.... however it has auto resupply 15 mozy (amongst others - although it only restocks the mozy and not the others).

Good call.
