Xai Corp. Remote Install/Uninstall is going solo!

[mr_south]

As we got quite some positive feedbacks on the bundled version of Xai Remote Install/Uninstall Service (bundled to Xai Corp. Trade Command Software MK1 v1.1(a)), and also some requests to extend it to remote installation of (hard)wares, we are now developing a standalone version of it (Xai.RIU v1.0).

Goal:
To provide an easier way to buy and install upgrades/software.
To provide an interesting alternative to buy and install (hard)wares.
To provide helps to uninstall scripts/software from you game.

Current Status:
A runnable beta version is developed. Since the software is somewhat complex, beta testing could take some time.

Implemented features:
. Replicate UPGRADES/Software from one of your ships, and install to one ship, to a class of ships (e.g. all TPs or all Advanced Satellites), or to ships with certain prefix in their names, say "TP-Group1-".

. Buy WARES from a station, and install to one of your ships. This feature is very powerful because you can install wares almost instantaneously, regarless your ship's current location. However, there are some interesting restrictions so that it requires not only strategic setup of certain equipments, but also a lot of considerations at use. Hopefully these can prevent the powerful feature from spoiling the game, and that is also why we need extensive testing to ensure that.

. Uninstall wares from all ships and stations, and set the ships to IDLE. This will help you stop all running scripts associated with the ware, and make the uninstallation alot easier.

. Comprehensive report on everything the software is going to do or has done.

. Dynamic menu (using the new Xai Corp. Dynamic Menu Template).

If you have any suggestions/ideas/feature requests/opinions, please post here. We also welcome volunteers to participate the beta testing. If you are interested, please PM me.
