Loans

[theboyudreamof99]

I was just wondering, I am currently at 150k with an argon murcury, trying to buy a 500k trade software MKIII to get my empire started.

Trading is going really slowly, and I am wondering if there is any good mod out there that will allow me to take out loans (borrow money) from banks or something.

If so, where can I get it?

sounds like a good script idea. make interest and seizing players assets when they cant make payments

(stations or ships, Upgrades, Current Cargo, ect)

EDIT

Had another idea why not create

Banking Softwear Extentions!

play the share market (buy/sell shares in factories)
(if you can somehow trap NPC factory Profit)
Make Loanes (Loan Repayments)
Bank Accounts that gain Interest (low somthing lile 0.5% per 24 hours)

Putting it into the works now (although the share stuff might take a bit if I find its fiesable)

there is already such a script available, some guy over at the german forum made it.
don't remember its name, i'll search for it.

found it: http://www.egosoft.com/x2/forum/viewtopic.php?t=43512
one bad thing about it: it comes with a german textfile only

[XeHonk]

actually, there's an extension like that already
/.me points at the german scripting forum

no clue, if it's available in english though

dammit, looks like blackspell was faster

[holo_doctor]

[Kailric]

This does sound like a cool script and makes for a bit of realism..someone translate this!

Do not start your empire with a mark 3 trading extension. You first need a factory for it to access an account and then It takes ages to get credits!!!. I dont think thats a good way to start.

Er, you do NOT need a factory for it to use money. I have 4 or 5 "sector traders" running all over the galaxy, with no homebase set, letting the money flow directly into my account.

If you use the GOOGLE toolbar you can translate it with the right click menu

[therjw]

Or you can use this website

http://www.freetranslation.com/

also works with the readme file

[theboyudreamof99]

but would the mod work with english version you think? Probly a stupid question...and btw Mark 3 is great, making me lots o cash. No you dont need fact, just draws from your account. If you have a good amount of cash for it to work with, the profits will be quite large. I bought it last night and started running it, then jumped into another ship with SETA at x10, adn brought up a moniter of my transporters cockpit to see what it was doing, and it started making all these profits that I could never see myself!

And get this...it ACTUALLY made a profit off of the trading station! Those skinflints NEVER give you good deals!? wats up with that?

[QuantaCat]

The mod doesnt work with the english version; atleast not as it should. it is possible to borrow money, and to pay it back, but when you ask for how much money you owe the bank, it just says "readtext 84996" or whatever.

But an english version is in the works.

[XeHonk]

looks like you forgot to edit the 49*.xml file =)

[holo_doctor]

The mod will work on any version its just the language files

49???? file are all german language

you have to translate then and rename em 44???? for english. Also don't foget to change the language code inside the file
