Ship/ Station menus - help please

[simduck]

Is it possible to add an extra menu to either a station/s or ship/s?

Currenlty you can set a ships Friend or foe with options. Or set a stations sell option to Yes - all races or No - player only.

I want to add a new option to carriers "Automatically reload fighters with missiles" <Yes/No>.

I also want to be able to have carries to be able to set a max missile storage amount and allocate a ship to collect the various types of missiles so when fighters return to their "home" (be station or ship), they are automatically reloaded to their missile type.

Is this possible & if so, how?

Thanks.

It's not possible to add menus to stations using scripts, and I don't think you could mod them in either.

You could achieve you goal by having a ship responsible for the whole process: fetching missiles, storing them on the carrier, and rearming fighters when they land. It would work like any other autopilot command rather than having a menu option for the station or carrier.

PS, got your message on Xai Corp.

Ingenious idea.
Thanks heaps. That gives me something else to work on.

By any chance, is there a database around that holds every command currently used by a script so that we know which ones are still free

There's a list in the handbook on Xai Corp. which you can edit yourself. Every so often I copy than list to the sticky at xscripting.com, and in a post here to.

It's not complete, I haven't gone through every script, but there's a fair few of the popular ones in there.
