Only ten years later, I've picked up X² again and taken the opportunity to do some fixes and improvements on this! Can you believe it?
Changelog:
Fixes:
- Fixed the list of sectors at the end. Now properly comma-separated, without the curly array-to-string brackets!
- Now actually uses the short command name - no more "None" in the ship overview; it actually says "ExplUniv" now!
- I don't remember if the old version already did this, but now it sets the next sector as its destination.
Improvements:
- If the Special Software MkI is installed, the ship will now search for unknown sectors up to two (2) jumps away. This should drastically reduce the occurence of ships getting stuck in dead ends like Light Water or the various Unknown Sectors. Without, the command will behave as it did before.
I'm thinking of maybe adding another optional feature if the Fight Command Software is installed, namely avoiding Xenon sectors? Who knows.
Also, since Google Drive is apparently broken (or at least I can't get the old DL link anymore without logging in), I've put up both the new version (v13) and the old version (v10) on my neocities website:
Cheers!
