TL Trader (0.5) : Download now
TL Trader provides 2 commands (buy/sell) to the TL's Auxiliary command menu. These commands will use docked TS's to trade with the specified station.
You were talking about it here, so I thought I'd see what we could come up with.
Code: Select all
The TL Trader provides basic trade commands for a TL with TS support ships on board. When used the TS ships will conduct the trading, returning to the TL after the transaction.
Once installed you should find 2 new commands in the auxiliary ship command menu in your TL's. These commands require a TS to be docked at the TL, and homebase have it's hombase set to the TL. When activated the commands will order the TS to trade at the selected station for the selected price, then return home.
Although the result sounds quite basic, it does provide a considerable saving in effort from you, in terms of menu clicks, commands given and thumb twiddling.
