With regards to the Sell All (OXP)...

It also attempts to borrow a function in AI Trading Assistant, an OXP which hasn't been around for well over a decade. One of several occasions when Norby went poking around in other people's scripts without telling anyone what he was doing.

It's amazing how often people have considered 40 years into the Future to be sufficient time for whatever technological development their vision of the Future requires. Interplanetary colonization - 40 years. AI - 40 years. Genetic engineering - 40 years. Time-travel - 40 years. Interstellar travel ...

I conjecture that quirium is the first-discovered hyper-dimensional element; quirium is to hydrogen what tesseracts are to cubes. That it has an extra spatial dimension is the explanation for its extraordinary energy density.

Docked HUDs. What does it do exactly? Somebody else (Using the Saint for their Avatar picture) said that was culprit for another problem I had. Sets specific HUD files (the simplest possible, with e.g. just a big reminder to refuel) only while you're docked. And, resets to the default hud.plist whe...

How many HUD oxps did you have loaded? And was it really every one listed on the Expansions Manager?

If it was really every one, including Docked HUDs, that could have been the culprit.

Where is it from?
Any ideas?

Alien Systems OXZ...? I'm trying to remember the URL of hiran's catalogue tool thingy to check if I'm right.

Okay, but whether you use awardEquipment() in a mission screen callback function is irrelevant to whether the player has access to the F3 screen. You're using removeEquipment() in your script posted above. So, to unload 4 missiles, you want the player to click on "unload a missile" four ti...

Thanks. That worked perfectly and I'm now missileless. I should be able to award the special missiles with the same loop but this time with loop set to the player.ship.missileCapacity and awarding them instead of removing them. Um. The way to become missile-less is to awardEquipment() the missile r...

More generally, how do the commie insectoids think of themselves? Insects who happen to be commie - or commies who happen to be insects? Commies are always commies first, comrade. Communist theory says that anyone who puts any other loyalty ahead of the communist party is "racist". But wh...

Commies are always commies first, comrade. Communist theory says that anyone who puts any other loyalty ahead of the communist party is "racist".

Sorry - I should have checked. Is Star Trek on, or off, the table? "Miranda, don't go up there!" It's not science-fiction, but all this talk of rock crevices and such has put me in mind of Picnic at Hanging Rock . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picnic_at_Hanging_Rock_(film) The interjectio...

But, vis-a-vis your comment on the MFDs above, I usually have 12.

Now compatible with TWELVE (12) MFDs.

this.$sendMessageTimer = function $sendMessageTimer () { var p = player.ship; var stn = system.mainStation; var dist = p.position.distanceTo(stn.position); if (dist < stn.scannerRange) { // only send a message if the player is within scanner range if (p.alertCondition != 3) { // only send if the pl...

Nice tries, but I don't think either quite meets the prompt. I find your lack of faith disturbing. OK - That, on the other hand, would be a valid answer if you added the source... What "source"? I was merely commenting on your lack of faith. But, if I'm welcome to join in your game, I'd p...
