[SCRIPT] Lure Spaceflies v1.06
Lure Spaceflies v1.06
This script makes manual capture of spaceflies in X3 a viable option to making money.
It gets the ship to attract spaceflies to it by releasing a small amount of nostrop or rastar oil. The flies will follow the ship and thus be easier find and capture.
Notes on use
- The sector must contain rocks or asteroids or else no spaceflies will be found.
- After releasing the oil then wait for the flies to reach you (better to be stationary while waiting)
- It can take several minutes for the flies to track down your ship.
- Don't release oil more often then once every 15 minutes, it would be a waste.
- The script command will only appear in the menu for the player ship.
- Each lure attempt will release one unit of nostrop or rastar oil.

Hey, the idea of using oil as "bait" is really great!Bunny wrote:It gets the ship to attract spaceflies to it by releasing a small amount of nostrop or rastar oil. The flies will follow the ship and thus be easier find and capture.
It's a shame that scripts can't alter object effects, it would be awesome if releasing the oil made your ship leave a glow trail for a little while.
Idea for future expansion: Each use has a small chance to spawn some Boron or Argon ships that try to protect the flies by attacking you. The X3 version of Greenpeace. Save the spaceflies!

Nice twist to the proffits! Spacefly Protectors! Thus you wouldnt want to capture spaceflies in friendly race areas...Klyith wrote:Each use has a small chance to spawn some Boron or Argon ships that try to protect the flies by attacking you.
