Universal Trader doesn't go anywhere

kmccray · Post by **kmccray** » Sat, 10. Dec 05, 05:27

I just equipped my sector trader w/everything he needs to be a Universal Trader, 25 MJ shields & all the software plus a jump drive, commanded
him to Start Universal Trader & he just sits in one position. Do I need to tell him something else?

The things you need:

Level 8
Flight Command Software MK1 and MK2
25 MJ shield or if lower class shield all you can put on
Trade Command Software MK3
(opitonal) Jumpdrive (at level 12 he or she will order one)
(opitonal) wepons

If he is at level 10, has a jump drive and 25MJ shield with fight command 1 and 2 he should trade. Unless his cargo hold is already full.

Is this X2 or X3, because in X2 I have not yet seen Flight Command 2 and yet have a dozen UTs bonging happily about the place. Mind you I do buy the Trading upgrades 1,2 and 3 for them.

(And I always buy the fight upgrades and only put a gun in rear turrets set to missile defense - so far they have only got a one or two point scratch at most.)

So each ship doesent need the Best buy and best price software, and do they need the Trading system extension

. Cause if they dont it would save me a packet.

Jungle, no your Sector and/or Universe Traders do not need Best Buys/Sells or the Trading System Extension. Just have them in your personal ship.

In X2 they needed Drones too or would order them to be delivered. I always added Nav command for manual jumps for fuel and Triplex scanners for target aquisition.
