salvagers and gaian terraformers have hardcoded AI behaviours that upgrade the weapons choosing from the cargo (salvagers) and disintegrate wrecks with the nice particle suction effect (gaians)

i would like to have upgradeweapon = "true" and destroywreck ="true" to put in a shipclass.

That would be cool. :)

There is already an upgradable auton, it's a mod that changes Rama and the Mule auton, you can dock with them and manually upgrade armor and shields.

What I wanted is an AI ship that can autoupgrade the weapon, by scavenging or by docking with a station and purchasing it ! :) (increasing the randomness of the weapons in the spawns and in the stations)

For example, when I usually find a good weapon in a station, but I don't have the money for it, I would say to myself: "ok, let's remember the position, and I will return later to buy it".

What if someone else would buy it :) And if you really want it you have to hunt down the ship ! (or dock and trade with it 8) )

Yes, i'd like that too, but i'd never considered it possible since i always found the AI's to be "off limits" kinda things. A self-upgrading wingmate would be nice.

(btw- can you point me towards that upgradeable auton?)

it may have been lost when xelerus was moved(or i didn't see it), i'll put the new one under friendly ships(is no longer restricted to shields, weapons, and armor).

Well, I can't find the old mods!

http://xelerus.unrealcrystal.com/oldmods/

used to be where they all were at, but now that site is totally gone and there isn't anything about the old mods anywhere. :(

I think that Corsairs and Vikings should upgrade their weapons and shields and armor. That would make them more piratey :D
