Docking Computers OXP ver. 1.0.2
Date: June 3rd, 2012
Author: Wildeblood
After a
request by Bugbear.
Installation and use:
Place the Docking Computers OXP into your "AddOns" folder. This OXP alters the game mechanics so that, when starting a new game, commanders can use the docking computer function immediately. However, each time they do so they will be charged a docking fee of 50 credits for contacting a station with an uncertified docking computer.
Needless to say, commanders who don't have 50 credits will need to perform manual docking (or use shift-c instant docking which this OXP makes available for free as a cheat).
To avoid docking fees, head to a planet of technical level 10 or above where, for a one-time fee of 1500 credits, you can have GalCop-trained engineers examine your Docking Computers and certify that they meet GalCop Standard GS40034 - Behaviour of Docking Computer AIs. After certification, you will never have to pay docking fees again.
Download Docking Computers OXP from the Box.
Although it was a popular idea, I've removed this because it's buggy - although it works in a way, it doesn't work as I intended it to - and I don't care enough about it to be bothered making it work properly.

It could use a more descriptive name.. something to differentiate it from the in-game DC.

Oops, I've made a horrible mistake in
assuming this OXP would
only be used with a new game, and not including any fool-proofing. If you leave it installed and load saved games with established commanders bad things might happen.*
* Read "will happen".
Addendum: I've just uploaded version 1.0.2, which I think/hope/believe contains a sufficient check to prevent problems. This pay-per-use docking computer for newbies lark seems like a popular idea, so my sincere apology to those people who have already downloaded it.

Hey guys, sorry I've taken so long to express my gratitude for this. Hopefully some new commanders can find this of use (and even lazy, experienced commanders with a broken Docking Computer).
