Mercenary script? (can someone make it?)

[Starkindler]

They will work with you for a price. (Initial hiring fee. Every enemy they kill). I think this would add a little more realism to the game. Just a thought.

You got wingmen already. Scripts cannot fine control your ship just fly here, kill that... not... fire gun, bank left, incomming fire.... etc..... You might as well park a ship with attack all enemies... because there is no way to make it much better....

A Mercenary script would be cool......you could hire some and send them off to do your dirty work...Like kill off some competition factories without you loosing rep with the race....course the hire price would have to be gigantic in cost so as not to make it too easy, maybe 1.000.000cr per contract.
They should fly in M6's too with a few M3 wingmen.

I was talking about a large mercenary guild that has a hiring price and a cost for EVERYTHING THEY KILL. They will have different ships (maybe up to a destroyer) but the high end ships cost alot. I think it would be easy to make. Oh... and the contacts are hidden in certain bases . You have to say the right thing to find em.

How about like a bulletin board offer that comes up periodically.

Letting you hire ships for a time, that you can control or which have some sort of protection order set up as default.

Yeah... Cheaper for short-term work than buying your own, anonymity as a condition of contract, etc. Sounds cool. Not a replacement for buying your own patrols (eventually, merc cost would add up to more than your own figher, if you left it long enough).
