(way above my head), but maybe someone else will.Here's a suggested ship-script for the zeke-transporter-miner-player ship (Thanks to Wyvern_Mommy on IRC for pointing out a ship-script would be much better than a global script).snork wrote:I wonder if you may want to have some script in the oxp, so that there is always at least one rock hermit ?

Rock Hermits are more likely on the planet-sun route than the witchpoint-planet route because that's where most of the asteroids are. It was always so on the C64 version of Elite:-JazHaz wrote:On my system Rock Hermits always seem to spawn near the sun.

Don't be offended by this question, but are you sure you copy/pasted all of the script Micha posted, and didn't think it ended before it did? Specifically, did you get as far as:-Captain Patrick wrote:14:18:53.099 [script.javaScript.exception.notFunction]: ***** JavaScript exception (ZekeTransporterMinerPlayer.js.anon-script): TypeError: this.getSalt is not a function

if( typeof missionVariables.ZekeMiner_salt === 'undefined' ) {
missionVariables.ZekeMiner_salt = Math.Random() * 1000;
}
return missionVariables.ZekeMiner_salt;
}Yes, I should retract that statement that asteroids are more common on the sun-planet route, since I don't know it to be true of Oolite. I just assumed it copied that from C64 Elite.Wildeblood, in real astronomy, I think that asteroids farther from the sun than a habitable (by anything like us) world would normally be more likely, since asteroids are typically the result of a planet failing to coalesce because of the presence of a gas giant, which would normally be farther out than any habitable world (their excess gas never having been "boiled off" like for the nearer planets), and so too cold to be habitable itself – at least, that's how it happened in our Solar System.

this.getSalt = function()
{
if (missionVariables.ZekeMiner_salt === null)
{
missionVariables.ZekeMiner_salt = Math.random() * 1000;
}
return missionVariables.ZekeMiner_salt;
}

I do not use them sensible suns, but already find myself spending an awful lot of money for witchdrive fuel - trebling that, and the time it takes to get somewhere - I just may go and get that oxp, too. The way I handle BOTH situations - i.e., slow ship and looooong travel times - might be of interest to you.snork wrote:Thank you Micha.JazHaz wrote:And as I'm using Sensible Suns OXP (wonder if Sensible Suns is the culprit for the hermit location?) the sun is quite a long trip for this slow mining ship.

, since I'm quoting from memory (haven't played in along while). Whatever.
