This plugin offers opportunites to pirate style players who prefer to steal and take their profits.
The plugin on installation will bring up 1 new command "The Hacker Console"
Found in the piracy menu the console will enable other commands and allow you to check your ranks.
Code: Select all
To access the ingame readme just type '0' zero into the console
Code: Select all
To check your current rank type '1'
-----------------------------------------------
Code: Select all
Type '2' to access one of the main commands of the hacking menu, First of all you should find a station with a ship that is docked which you wish to steal. As you cannot run console commands inside stations you should choose the option just as you are about to dock, then fly manually up to the ship you wish to hack and target it.
Once you are less than 75m from the ship the hack will start and depending on your rank and other variables you will either steal the ship or fail.
Code: Select all
Type '3' to access station funds hacking.
The command works exactly as the hack ship command above but you will steal credits from the station if you are successful. Manually dock and target a ship (preferaby a TS class) to run.
Code: Select all
Type '4' to access ware hacking.
If your flying a TS class ship rank and other variables will determine if you manage to steal the stations products. You must target one of the stations TS classed ships that are docked to run, If none are docked you can not access the command.
Code: Select all
Type '5' into the console to hack a ship in space. Your ship must be less than 100m from the target when the command is run. If successful the ship will temorarily set itself to foe until you get close enough in your spacesuit to take control of it.
Code: Select all
Type 6 to send a pirate friendly signal
If your rank is high enough running this command will set all pirate ships in your current sector to neutral.
New Station Command
Code: Select all
Sell This Station
All your stations will now have this option enabled in their command menu's
Once chosen the station will signal nearby traders and if one is interested you will be hailed with an offer for the station, If you accept the station will no longer be under your control!
There are other commands ingame which you can access once you rank is high enough and you possess the correct equipment. Unfortunatly they are currently classified.
Missions
Docking at pirate bases will bring new mission offers if your rank is high enough, Missions are random and if you dont wish to take them you should just ignore them.
Penalty's for failure
Usual imperial stuff
Install notes
extract the rar to your main x2 directory, it comes bundled with the "No mod tag" mod which you should run the game by. No other modifications are present.
Misc
As usual this plugin comes with an Imperial NDA. This in effect means if you read my scripts and disclose anything to the forums i'll delete your account
