Real Estate Broker + Merchant Convoy

[shanejfilomena]

I am not a mod maker and I enjoy every chance to try the ones you make ( if they work for me , seems not all of them like me)

I tried the Merchant Convoy :
the Merchant Convoy held in it's code for Stalwart Ships ( even with the Stalwart ships added to the folder it did not compute to the game )

However: being the Nosey critter I am , I poked around the Playership codes and pulled more familiar ships to replace the Stalwarts
First time I found the Convoy it was dead : Mothership has yet to be seen firing her guns ( but I did see it use the Longreach cannon once ).

so I added Corporate Cruisers and a few Aquila, It tends to be Alive and kicking now even in the Dynamic system
-------------------------------------

Real Estate Broker ( Player Stations ) : the station has no weapons , Just Defense Turrets and few ships near it :
it was killed before I reached it.

Of course: I sinned here : I found an old Ringer .xml file in a download and pulled the weapon to give to the Real Estate Broker ( deviceID="&itAresArchcannon" ( 3 of them )), it can hold it's own now and I watched it take out a Processor ( it actually took out 2 before I arrived ).

And at the Price of the Property you buy, I was very upset when it gets destroyed ( turrets excluded, they are meant to fight )

Sooooooo......I was a BAD BOY......I made the Ammo / Fuel/ Recyclotron stations portable since I do not always go back in many of the games ( to me, free resurrections are cheating ) , being able to take your property with you is a good idea.

attributes= "portable"

(objAddItem gPlayerShip (itmCreate &itAmmoFactory; 1))

Now my Idea : i made it work : so now I am telling it to you : If the creators of these FINE works would like to make official releases featuring upgrades......who is to say they were inspired by the Prirates?

So you want to have a way to sell stuff you don't own? I don't know if that fits with transcendence because you don't own your apartment and you don't own your store?

NOOOOOOOO : not sell the property, just take it with you when you leave the system.
But so long as it is in your cargo it is sell-able anyway so my idea of making it portable AFTER it was Deployed has nothing to do with that. ( they were one time use items, deployed and stationary , I just wanted to move them and/ or recall the unit to cargo.)
( And it is funny you mentioned selling the property because , I nearly sold my Ammo Factory )

this started it :

<Events>
<OnAttacked>
(plyMessage gPlayer (cat "Your "(objGetName gSource)" in "(sysGetName)" is under attack!"))
</OnAttacked>
</Events>

can get distracting and : an unarmed station you just shelled out your hard earned credits to buy can have a pilot trying to race back to protect it......solution: use it and pack it in the cargo again like camping gear

BTW: the Recyclotron (# Mods by Prophet ) is a little Buggy: but it always was, had nothing to do with the portability I gave it yesterday.

Found the error message(? spelling is not always my specialty ) in the Recyclotron module for Player Stations :
Loaded game file version: 1000600
04/15/2011 01:53:13 Installed items cannot be removed; use (shpRemoveDevice) instead. Nil ### (objRemoveItem gSource theItem) ###

Hope that is helpful to it's creator .

I am not sure what sets it off : I only gave it damaged stuff from the cargo hold .

And it really does not bother MY game : it is just something i noticed while trying things out.
