Hi

I think i have killed ( or -better- destroid his ship ) him 5 times
( without any escape capsule leaving the destroyed ship )

but he allways returns, trying to kill me

corrected the title " knight -> knave"

Its an order, not an individual.

Hello

O.K.

but i am flying just an iron-assed Rockhopper ( and before an Imp. Courier )
# i hope iron-assed is correct - my english vocabulary has a lot of gaps
and i am "dangerous"

the "black knights" are only "canon-food" -- no .. better "laser-food"

did they never learn?

P.S.
and killing them makes no bounty

Hi

To make an end to the suicide of the brave black knaves
i have added a new condition to the script. ( oolite.oxp.CaptSolo.Cobra_Mk3-XT.oxz / spawnknave-script.js )

original: new: now the black knave(s) give up, if the player has a score more than 1500

Code: Select all

if (Math.random() >= 0.975 && player.score >= 512 && player.score <= 1500)  // tweak by Slartibartfast

now the black knave(s) give up, if the player has a score more than 1500

If you want a challenge, you might try upping their accuracy if player.score > 1500...

Would Skilled NPCs also improve their accuracy etc.?

I guess yes, but I don't think it would do it based on the player score, and without looking at its code I can't say which subsets, if any, of NPCs will be "upgraded", nor by how much!

If one is already tweaking scripts, one can as well go all the way and control the skill upgrade

Hi

If you want a challenge,....

no - i do not!

If one is already tweaking scripts, one can.....

yes ..... he can - but he don't want to...

---- for other, who will get rid of this bugging "knave"
buy another ship than the cobra xt III and remove the cobra xt III oxz.

bye
