who wrote the MKIII autotrader that can be downloaded here?

kinda looks like an official addon? still very irritating script if one asks me.... would be nice if the traders would take up work again after a while even if they stop due to lacking opportunities.
The warning is nice, but I've got my hands full just to keep reactivating them.
Also they don't realize the best opportunities of all - buying weapons in factories to sell in equipment docks.

Sorry - not meaning to sound negative

just wondering

pss: wouldn't that be a good chance to add some racial NPC merchants too then who distribute wares in the same way? They were anounced on the packaging after all

Yes it is.

When you install it, it puts a readme file in the X2 folder.

In there the top couple of lines you will see:

the readme also explains how the traders get "smarter" after awhile. from my experience they pretty much take care of themselves once you get them up to that level stated in the readme, you just have to baby-sit them until that happens.
