If you have a solar power plant and you want it to supply energy cells to, say, three other stations you own, then presently you have to have 3 transport ships, one for each station.

Usnig the SDS script, you can have 1 transport and it will be able to deliver to all three stations on a most needed first basis.

In other words, this script saves you having to get another 2 transports.

In addition (if the above wasnt worth it on its own) you can tell the SDS transport to get the goods from your station for 0 cost - this allows you to set up zero cost loops where none of the stations needs money.

Does that help?

is it a "signed" script? (i.e. it wont put "modified" in the corner of the screen will it?)

I don't see what the big deal is about the modified tag. It shows it in an unused portion of the screen in transparent, white, curvy print.

..and if you put a non-signed script in place for only a moment, removing it when you think 'nah, don't want it', that's it, your game is 'modified' for ever, so you have to put up with it.

It soon becomes background noise - very rarely notice the thing.

I actually didn't notice it for awhile after I installed my first unsigned script.

Thanks Mazruk thats fine have downloaded and installed it now. Just one more stupid question . Do you need to send all your transports to a paranid equipment dock to use this script

Yes, you need to buy the KriMe.SDS software for each ship you want to use it on and only the paranid sell them.[/quote]

Not a big deal if you don't mind people doubting your screen shot when in fact you don't have any unsigned scripts running. My game shows modified because I activated the script editor in 1.3 to try out a simple script to decrease rudder tunings on M4 and M5 ships. It didn't work so I threw it out and and didn't try any others. My game still shows modifiled. I'm sure you can well imagine some of the comments that would be made if a screenie were to be posted showing that something can be done that others are doubtful of if the screenie shows "modified" in the corner.

Bad thing about SDS is that it seems to change Mark's fight MK3 software name to the SDS thing in the AP EQ Dock. I gotta see if it still works right...

You can modify out the modified watermark ya know?

Search the scripting forum for "Remove Watermark", it's in there.
