// The 1st Mission to kill Be Soin in his Vintage Adder takes place near the Sunset Retirement Home Station. The station's own script populates space around
// it with a Tourist Shuttle, Tourist Lander and a Tourist Transporter. The Lander and the Shuttle will fly to and land on Apollodorus. The Transporter will fly to the main station
// and dock with it. The script also adds three Tourist Ophidian Yachts, one with an AI to go to the witchpoint and dock with the nearest station to the witchpoint, another with an AI 
// to go to the main station and dock with it and a third with an AI to dock with the Retirement Home. These six ships will always be encountered near the station as their AIs,
// fly around near the station until the player arrives before setting off towards their destinations.

// The stations script also spawns 4 more Ophidian Yachts in a line between the station and the main station at 50, 100, 150 and 300kms from the Retirement Home. These
// ships start flying towards their destinations as soon as they are spawned. One will go to the Retirement Home, the second to the Main Station, the third to a random OXZ
// station within 500kms of its starting point and the fourth with an AI to go to the witchpoint and dock with the nearest station to the witchpoint. The main script adds 10 more yachts
// in the spacelanes with AIs to go to the Retirement Home, Main Station or OXZ stations.

// The transporters, shuttles and landers are all unarmed and will try to flee if attacked. The yachts are armed with a pulse laser and will only attack ships which attack them first.
// None of these ships present any threat to the player and are there for flavour. All these ships are lawful however so attacking them will make the player a fugitive. The Retirement
// Home will launch Micro Mambas armed with Beam Lasers to attack criminal ships nearby to it, but it has no ships on patrol as the first hit is meant to be very easy.

// The station's own script adds Be Soin's Adder, armed with a Pulse Laser about 20kms from the Retirement Home. His ship will stay between 15 to 20 kms from the
// retirement home until the player arrives. When it detects the player it will send a friendly greeting to give away its position and fly to within 10kms of the player before
// heading towards Apollodorus. As his ship is very weak he can be destroyed easily, although the player will become an offender. The station will launch Mambas once 
// Be Soin has been killed, but these do not present a major threat and the player can just leave once Be Soin is dead.

// Assassins also uses a condition script (only run at Orramaor) to override the native populater adding shuttles and hunters. All shittles in the system are replaced with
// Tourist shuttles, transporters and landers with AIs to land on the nearest planet to the station which launched them.  Hunters are replaced with Soin Clan Micro Mambas, 
// Geckos, Kraits, Sidewinders and Morays.

// Assassins makes fairly extensive modifications to Beatle and the third assassination to destroy the Fair Wind is scripted near the Repair Facility. The Fair Wind with two 
// Phantom Escorts is added by the Facilities own script when the mission is running. The station, moon and the other ships added are permanent features of Beatle.

// The Facility is a lawful station, but it will only grant docking permission to its own ships. Neither the player nor other NPCs can dock with the station. If the player attempts
// to manually dock, they will crash into the back wall of the dock and die as the station will only open its docking port to its own pre-booked customers. Whilst it will not permit
// ships to dock with it, it will not be hostile to clean ships in its vicinity. It will launch Phantoms armed with three forward mounted Beam Lasers to attack any offenders or fugitives 
// within scanner range.

// The script also adds a squadron of three Phantoms to patrol around the Facility. These ships will also attack any offenders or fugitives they detect and will also attack any ships
// which attack the facility's ships. 3 Damaged Ships, each with two phantom escorts are added with Ais to orbit the facility. The Damaged Ships are clones of the standard oolite
// ships, but they are unarmed and have no equipment. The escorts will attack any ship which attacks their mother but will not intervene to defend other ships in the yard.
// Attacking one of the Damaged Ships will therefore cause the player to be attacked by 5 Phantoms as the escorts and the three Phantoms on patrol will all attack the attacker. 
// The facility will also start launching more Phantoms to engage the attacker.

// The Damaged Ships are picked from three pools. Pool 1 (Python, Boa Mark I, Transporter, Cobra Mark I & Cobra Mark III). Pool 2 (Asp, Fer-de-lance, Moray Star Boat & Viper). 
// Pool 3 (Gecko, Krait, Mamba & Sidewinder). One ship from each pool is spawned on each visit to the system, so there will always be three different Damaged Ships with escorts 
// orbiting the facility.

// The Phantoms and the Damaged Ships all have unique pilots and comms messages, but as the Damaged Ships have no escape capsules, their crews never eject. The main script 
// also adds two Damages Ships each with 2 Phantom escorts to the spacelanes. These ships will fly to the witchpoint, main station or directly to the Facility. If they went to the
// witchpoint or main station first, then they will fly to the Facility once they arrive at the witchpoint or main station. They are not armed (but their escorts are). Their escorts will only
// attack ships which attack their mother and won’t attack other ships (regardless of their legal status) unless they attack their mother.

// On system population, the main script will add a squadron of 3 Phantoms within 13kms of the player’s position. This will be near the witchpoint if jumping into the system or near 
// the station the player is docked with if loading from a saved game. These Phantoms have an AI to fly directly to the Facility and dock with it if they reach it. If they cannot dock 
// with the Facility for any reason, they will switch Ais to patrol between the sun, main planet or witchpoint. These ships will actively attack any offenders or fugitives they come 
// across and will answer distress calls from clean ships.

// A condition script is also used to over-ride the native populator to replace all hunters added by the native populator at Beatle with Augeas Security Phantoms. These ships have
// an AI to patrol between the Facility, Planet, Witchpoint or Sun hunting for ships with bounties.

// At the time of the 3rd Assassination the Repair Facilities own script adds The Fair Wind with two Phantom escorts to the ships around the facility. As with the other Damaged
// Ships, it is unarmed and has no equipment. As it is an Anaconda it is very slow and cannot outrun missiles of any type, although its escorts will ECM standard missiles and the 
// minesweepers will disarm any q-mines or other cascade weapons. The Fair Wind will be the only Anaconda around the Facility and as the player by this stage has the Mark
// Transponder Scanner, its golf club on the scanner with be flashing.

// The trick to completing the mission is to make sure you are Clean and arrive at the Facility with full tanks. If you are anything other than Clean the three security Phantoms on
// patrol will instantly attack you and the Facility will start launching more Phantoms to attack you. However, provided you are clean none of the ships will bother you until you start
// shooting at the Fair Wind. As soon as you do its two Phantom escorts will attack you and the three Phantoms on patrol will turn hostile and start flying towards you. 
// The range of the Phantoms three Beam Lasers is limited, so initially you’ll only have to deal with the two escorts.

// The Fair Wind has a higher than normal energy level, but it is a sitting duck as it too slow and damaged to avoid attack. You can simply creep up behind it and fire off a couple of 
// hard head missiles as this will take care of it, provided they both hit and give it a full blast of your forward laser to make sure. You need to destroy it quickly however and then
// hit the injectors and flee out of the repair yard as the Phantoms will overwhelm you once they reach you. Destroying the Fair Wind will raise the player’s bounty to 70 Credits,
// so having enough fuel for the 4.4 light year jump to the nearest system is useful as Security Phantoms may be encountered near the Sun if topping up the tanks by fuel skimming.

// The Geteve system features in the 4th Assassination and the system is also subject to a Thargoid Invasion. This is measured with a variable and additional ships are added as
// the invasion variable is advanced. At the start of the OXZ the variable is at zero as the Invasion hasn’t started yet. The following changes are permanent and are always added 
// regardless of whether the invasion is in progress or not:

// The moon Hercules and the orbiting Special Branch Outpost are always present. The outpost's own script adds two groups of three Special Branch Asps with Ais to patrol around
// the outpost and attack any offender or fugitive ships. The Special Branch Asps have custom pilots and comms messages. The station is lawful and so as with other lawful 
// Assassins stations, it will deny docking permission to and attack non-clean ships. If the player docks without permission, they will be thrown out of the station and forcibly 
// launched. Clean players will see a custom arrival report and be charged a docking fee. The outpost does not have much in stock but will pay higher than normal prices for 
// liquors & wines, luxuries and alien items.

// On system population, the mains script adds a group of three special branch Asps with an AI to go to the outpost and dock with it within 12.5kms of the player’s position 
// (either near the station the player is docked with or near the witchpoint). Another group of three Asps with an AI to patrol around the main station are added near the main station.
// Two more groups of Special Branch Asps are added in the spacelane with an AI to pick one of 5 patrol destinations: The planet, the main station, the sun, the special branch 
// outpost or the witchpoint. The ships will fly the route picked responding to distress calls and attacking offenders & fugitives. Ships which end up at the main station or the outpost
// will dock. If they can't dock, they'll resume patrol going to the witchpoint or sun.

// Assassins also uses a condition script to override the native populator at Geteve and replace all the police ships in the system with Special Branch Asps. Ships called by the 
// native populator as police specifically (either as individual ships or group leaders) use the same AI as the Asps added by script in the spacelane and so will patrol all over the 
// system. Ships called as wingmen and interceptors will also be Special Branch Asps but have auto AI turned on and so will use the standard Oolite police Ais.

// As the player plays through the missions the Guild will have cause to silence an inquisitive journalist, whose suspicious death is being investigated by Inspector Thorstan of
// GalCop Special Branch. Shortly after the Thargoids begin an invasion of Geteve and the invasion variable is set to 1. Whilst the invasion is underway the OXZ adds Thargoid
// raiders to Geteve. All are like-ships of the normal Oolite Thargoid Warship but have custom Ais, roles and scripts.

// At invasion stage 1, a group of Thargoids with an AI to go to the main station and attack it are added 50kms from the main station. A second group of Thargoids are added 75kms
// from the Special Branch Outpost to with an AI to go and attack it. A third group are added in the spacelane with an AI to go and attack the nearest OXZ station or either the
// witchpoint or main station if there are none. A fourth group with Ais to go to the witchpoint and attack any ships they find there are added 30kms from the witchpoint. All ships
// with the role pirate are also converted into Thargoids with Ais to patrol the system and attack any ships they encounter. Groups of Thargoids are also added to the system generally.

// The fourth Assassination takes place during the Thargoid Invasion as the player will be offered the contract to kill Inspector Thorstan whilst he is fighting the Thargoids attacking
// the Outpost. At the time of the mission the outpost's own script adds Inspector Thorstan's Special Branch Asp near the Outpost. He will be marked on the player’s scanner as
// his golf club will be flashing. His Asp is a standard Special Branch Asp, although he has shield boosters fitted. The challenge of the mission is having to fight or evade the waves
// of Thargoids in the system.

// Later in the OXZ’s plot when Griff Research Ltd perfect and release their Navy BattleBots and Control Drones the variable is advanced to 2. The invasion continues and the same
// ships added at stage 1 still appear, but BattleBots and Control drones are also added to the system with Ais to attack Thargoids in the system.

// Towards the end of the OXZ's plot it will be announced on the news that Geteve has been victorious and the Thargoids have been repelled. At this point the variable will be set
// to “over”. Without a numeric value no Thargoids or BattleBots are added, so the only ships appearing are the default ones which are always present and Geteve returns to being
// a normal system policed by Special Branch Asps. The description of Geteve is changed as the Thargoid Invasion plot line plays out and its productivity and population
// decline during the invasion.
