Griff... have you seen this post?
Is that possible, at some time?

If the missiles are mounted in the those ready-made bays, it's no problem.Gimi wrote:Starts to think about what will happen to the cool big decal on the underside of the multi-decal Cobra Mk 3.
This would be a great oxp for an alternative starting career in the ooniverse.- includes an alternative start-up Jameson with a basic Krait or Mamba or whatever and a percentage chance of being offered an escort mission in system if Clean. Maybe more likely to be offered a mission on a relatively stable government system, but the destination system is more dangerous. Paid a small retainer up front, player gets communications from the mother in flight (e.g. 30 seconds to witchspace escorts, don't forget to follow me through...!). On safe arrival of the mother and the player at the target station player is paid a basic bonus, plus an additional commission for each pirate kill made on route. Player also gets the bounty as-well. It could also include an escort reputation score - increased for each successful mission, decreased for unsuccessful missions (i.e mother killed) or if the player abandons a mission part way through. The reputation would affect the probability of being offered future missions.Simon B wrote:Usefulness to a player is fairly limited ... but this leaves open the possibility of an escort missions OXP designed by some scripting genius.

Just need to learn how to script.....
But who would buy a Krait/Mamba in preference to a Cobra when they can't witchspace on their own? The idea is for a harder start-up.....independent trading would be tough in one of these beasts as your relying on following other ships through their wormhole so will not be able to choose your destination - escort missions would provide an alternative way to get some credits flowing with the aim being to buy your first witchspace capable ship.TGHC wrote:Nice idea Capt.Murphy although an escort missions for a start up Jameson is a bit adventurous, new commanders tend to do a bit of trading first to beef up their ship. So perhaps the first part of the mission would be to earn some Credits to buy a krait/mamba and then do the escort part.
Good on yer!Capt. Murphy wrote:I might make it my mission to try and learn enough scripting to have a stab at this myself.
Given that Krait and Mamba lack the witchspacing capability and are smaller than a Cobra III, wouldn't they be a lot cheaper than the Cobra III? So there's no earning-credits-to-buy-a-Krait/Mamba needed. On the contrary, the act of selling your Cobra III for a Krait/Mamba itself would earn you the credits to stuff your new ship out.Capt.
