I need some help with sovereigns and alignments....

[ThePrivateer]

So, I'm working on Hell's Trinity and I have created some Ares ships that are supposed to be "captors" -- they park at all the friendly stations in the galaxy and sit there, looking like they are captors, watching the station.

I created a sovereign for those ships and it all works fine. The Ares Captors are green blips, they look perfect; they don't attack anyone, which is fine.

Except, when the player then attacks the Ares Captors, all the regular Allied ships (the ones that are regular Commonwealth craft) turn on the player and attack me. I don't want that to happen, so any help?

The code for the Ares Captor soverign is below:

Code: Select all

<Sovereign UNID="&svAresCaptors;"
			name="Ares Sect"
			alignment="neutral"
			>
		
</Sovereign>

I'm looking at lumping all the current Commonwealth and Corporate sovereigns into one called "Trinity". Once I do that, is there then a way I can set up a <Relationship> between the new Trinity and the AresCaptors?

Thanks.

I think attacking any ship that is docked will cause the station's guards to agro on you. Try setting the captors to "Independent" and you should be able to attack them while in flight without provoking anyone.

Hm, no luck with the independent thing. Any help George?

Try setting up a custom sovereign so you can designate the dispositions manually:

Code: Select all

	<Sovereign UNID="&svAresCaptors;"
			name="Ares Captors"
			alignment="constructive chaos"
			>
		<Relationships>
			<Relationship sovereign="&svPlayer;" disposition="enemy" mutual="true"/>
		</Relationships>
         </Sovereign>
