[WIP] Corporate Trading Outpost OXP

[Switeck]

I got kind of sick of the mission briefing this OXP splashes up on docking at main stations. It's like a commercial on tv, replayed every visit to the same station. It really needs a random delay and/or other circumstances before allowing another option to buy even if the player does have enough credits.

It also seems odd that you had this as one of the criteria for when the offer is made:
system.population <= 40
Low(er?) population at a system is a requirement to build a trading outpost?
Is this to avoid already-existing "Your Ad Here!" Con Stores?

I had noticed that myself and have even gone as far as to remove the OXP from my Addons folder as it kept annoying me. I will change the amount of times it appears as so to avoid this annoying issue. And yes, I used to reverse conditions of the Constores so that one of these stations couldn't be put in the same system as a Constore.

Just to link this here: Where's my space station Joe, 2012

After I had docked at a station I was asked if I would like to by an outpost for 750000Cr + 250000Cr tax. I have been searching the system yet I can't find my station. Promises of free fuel sounded nice but have I been ripped off for 1000000Cr by some dodgey interstella con artist?

I am now 'Jamerson poor' again!

Lol its from a WIP/concept OXP I wrote called Corporate Trading Outpost OXP. It should be in the system you purchased it from, but you might have to make sure you have installed Galactic Navy OXP, hOoPy Casino OXP, Liners OXP and Your Ad Here! OXP. I abandoned work on it as it was merely a test to see if this kind of concept seemed feasible but many seemed to object to the idea, and without realising it I'd trod on some people's toes as others had similar and more complex ideas on the subject.

If you can't remember which system you purchased it from, open up your savefile in notepad++ (or a similar alternative) and find the following lines:

Code: Select all

	<key>mission_corpstatlocname</key>
	<string>Lave</string>

Where 'Lave' is in my example will be the system you purchased the station in. Look for the beacon marked 'C' if you have the Advanced Space Compass installed. Otherwise, you will have to fly around near the Witchpoint beacon. The only feature in this OXP that doesn't really work, and that shouldn't have been included, is the Nova Bomb. Just ignore it!
