Jumpdrive needs energy...

If you want them to be automatic sector traders, you need trading Mk3 and you 'might' need trading Mk1 (I never use autotraders so I'm not 100% sure).

You would also need some free cash so the ships can buy stuff they want to trade.

Does that help?

all that tells you is about the scripts and what they do. it does not tell you how to activate or tell if it is working

oh good god. :lol: I think you will find it does tell you what to do my friend!

However I shall try and remember how it works.

1st off, you need to buy a suitable ship, ususally a TS

2nd buy the trad command mk III software, from Boron EQ docks (i think!) as well as all the other stuff you need (shields etc etc)

3rd send the ship to the sector you wish it to work in.

4th open command console, go to trade, then start command "start sector trader"

thats more or less it from what i can remember.

You did post a duplicate of this already at Tue, 16. Jun 09, 22:15. That was merged to where is should have been posted in the first place. Continue the ST/UT discussion there. Do not double-post. Lock.
