Probably because you stopped the command. I think that resets his balance sheets, so to speak.

Also, when you 1st start a Trader, he will have no rank number (I think) just the word "apprentice" before his name. Although I may be wrong.

Another also: Your pilot cannot become a Universe Trader until a minimum of level 8 (I think!) Although I never started Universe Traders until they were level 10.

Have you even read the info? I'm sure all the above is in the Bonus Pack readme. In fact I'm 110% sure it is!

The trade runs mean if his command his stopped his trade runs will restart but not his rank.

Hey,

first of all the mk3-trader can only be started in one of your ships, in which you're not sitting at the moment. Second thing is, that you need to start the sector trader. Once the sector reached level 8, you can start the universe trader.

The level is shown as a number after the name of the Mk3-trader.

You have to start the command in the command console of the current ship under "trade".

What if you stop the ship and then start the "Sector Trader" again?

Which game version do you have installed? After choosing the sector trader option in the command console, is there any message written to your log? On which you tried to start the sector trader? Do you have any other ships on which you can try out the sector trader?

This is totally bugged. When I first started the sector trader, it didn't change the name. It went trading for a while and it stopped saying it had no more trading oppotunities, and the log said "Pilot Mercury of the ship The Wall in sector nullnull ... etc"

I moved it to other sector and this time the pilot name changed, but after many game hours it don't go up a single rank, and keep stoping with the same bugged message.

Hi all,

I've been thinking about changing the MK3 script a little bit. My focus is on the buy/sell costs. Right now the script appears to only look at the average cost of a good. I would like it to make a new average, halfway between min and average for buying, and halfway between max and average for selling.

So, I already have a backup of scripts/t folders. Am I seriously going to mess things up if I play with this script? Should I stop all MK3 traders while I edit it?

Thanks

I would maybe have a look at this script, before you start tinkering. It maybe what your looking for.

Hmm, I put this in the X2 board. I was going for X3. Your link is for X3 though, so all is okay. :)

The downloads appear to be gone. :(
