Can scripting help me with my problem?

[kileran]

(please understand this is not a rant, i love this game, but i would love more if i could play it)

I am currently stuck in this game. I have my primary trade ship in home of light, with about 30 enemy ships. they float about the sector doing nothing but attacking trade ships. Like me.

I've spent 3 days now doing nothing. this is very very annoying. Is tehre anything that scripting can do for me that may help fix this? i dont want to cheat, so if these work the way i'm thinking they do, i want a temporary fix. just a way to kill off the ones in this sector, or make them leave. I dont want to destroy them and raze all of thier ships for profit.

I love this game, and dont want to ruin it by cheating massively, but 3 days at SETA X10 has left me with a very bad taste in my mouth.

Thank you for any advice.

At xscripting.com is a script called "Sector Editor". It's a collection of scripts. One is called "destroy target", works on anything you can target. Simply target an enemy ship then activate the script. You'll need to do it for each ship.
Or! You could get a create ship script and create an Argon Titan, assign it an Argon pilot and give it about 10 minutes alone with the enemy.

This was a problem for me to. But, it's life in the X universe. Sometimes sh*t is rough, get over it. Get out of that sector and make enough money to buy a Nova for yourself.

Then you'll kick Khaak ass left and right like I did, until I bought my first M6, then later you can make a Script that automatically tells your M6s to go somewhere and kick ass like the one I made for myself.

After that the game is just profit profit profit and some pirate bashing . I doubt this was helpful, but it's the truth. Take the loss, rebuild or restart and move on. Don't stay doing the same frustrating thing over and over, you'll drive yourself mad .

I think his problem is actually that he CAN'T LEAVE HoL without the Khaak blowing him to Smithereens.

Get the Kill.Khaak script, it will take care of them nicely, but be warned that in doing so, in 1.3 Ego will consider you a cheat and deactivate the plot.

Deactivate? the plot? When I see that little modified, that means my plot is deactivated?

I got past the part where bret blew up so I don't know if there is any more plot.. I saw credits and all, but.. wtf? none of my scripts cheat I don't think my plot should be deactivated.

CBJ said it best

Use the galaxy editor -> custom universe -> no plot.
Use un-signed scripts -> modified universe -> plot as normal.

STOP spreading lies and misinformation please. I've been "cheating" since 1.3 came out and my plot works just fine, for your information.

That includes a destroy ship script and a create ship script. Either destroy all the khaak one by one or create an argon controlled centaur (or something else but a centaur will keep to the feel of the game best and still be able to kill the khaak).

I'm sorry. Just a little tired of people constantly saying that using scripts/cheats/mods/editors/toilet paper will disable the story line, even after every moderators and beta testers has said that it won't.

After brett dies and the funeral bandana sends a message about Julian's father, does anything else happen after that? I noticed people selling Khaak sector coords and Khaak weapon specs now. Will I ever be able to buy them? Do I have to do something to buy them?
