I thought I'd sussed finding him but the last time took ages, and it's boring.

ROT13FL!

(Well, maybe not…)

Tivva,
Do you have any tips for finding the onfgneq then?
BTW It's probably cheating but looking at the text in the .oxp might help.

Finding him is not a problem, neither is the Navy fleet with him. Its getting him out that i can't manage.
Without spoiling for others I'll pm you later my escapades to date....
Still trying to 'capture' the nfgneq

I can't find th onfgneq otherwise I could test an idea I have. Poss solution follows.

But if you can tell me where to find him, I would be grateful.

The mission part of this oxp is fixable, thanks to Eric Walch.

The mission part of this oxp has been fixed.

Curtesy of Eric Walsh all it takes is to replace your shipdata.plist with http://www.box.net/shared/pe8q4znq2z

and install this oxp http://www.box.net/shared/nq4tdg8pno

Eric warns that the latter could introduce anamolies. Try it at your own risk.
I have. I have captured Kurtz.

A quick explanation to the reason of the troubles. It all worked when Math wrote his oxp under Oolite 1.70. but:

1) He linked to the existing Behemoth.oxp. That oxp is updated in a way his links became useless. (The spacial scripts were not executed anymore) The new shipdata.plist makes sure the new Behemoth stuff is ignored for his mission ships and it works just like it did with 1.70.

2) Oolite 1.71 & 1.72 have a bug that can send far away ships (mainly escorts) to dock at the station that is closest to the player. Specially with carriers this is problematic as this will interfere with a carrier were the player is fighting against.
My new AI files contains a dockingAI that correct this by sending all docking ships to the closest station relative to its own position. However this could bug ships that deliberately try to dock at a station that is not the closest. It happens for example when an other station is close to the main-station. Till now I have seen no real problems with this behaviour and fixing the other bug was a real help. For 1.73 this bug is already fixed in the code itself.

For neighter bugs is Math to blame.

I assume that the shipdata.plist fix will still be needed for 1.73, at least until such time as the oxp is updated?

Unfortunately, until matt shows up again, we don't have any idea of when the next update will be.

The best course of action at the moment would be to have the links to both parts of the fix, AI and shipdata.plist, on the OXP list and Galactic Navy's entry on the wiki.

I was thinking the same thing about Matt...

as for the Wiki, I can do it tomorrow unless someone beats me to it.. going to bed now.. it's gone midnight here..

BUGGER !!!!
After our last pm I decided to jump to Gal7 last night & do the assassins oxp missions & shortly after arriving I found a Caduceus for sale
(without cheating too...)

Now do I go back for kurtz & risk not finding the caddy again or stick with my new ship????
