Is ther a way to run AI scripts on the players ship?
possible uses would include:
-a "cheap" marine corp that defects and capturers your ship.
-a autoland system, probably to fire like a secondary weapon.
-a commander that newbs can delegate controll to.
it would be neat, iff plausible

Impossible. Sorry.

Actually, wouldn't that cause you to be automatically placed in a shuttlecraft on one of the starting systems? You'd probably want to make a ship that looks like an escape pod and make it an escape ship, and give an auto eject. That way you have to pilot it to the nearest spob and get a new ship. It'd be more realistic. Also that way, you could have your own "You drifted in space..." message.

That idea sort of reminds me of a trick that I once tried to do but I don't remember if it worked or not, but basically you accept a mission where a parasite boards your ship eating up your fuel reserves and your objective was to somehow find a way to rid the alien.
The way it worked was that when you accepted the mission, you automatically receive an outfit item who's flag was set to drain your fuel(being that the techlevel was 32767 making it unsellable) at a certain rate, and if you completed the mission, it would automatically remove it from your ship.
I think the final step was to buy a repelent outfit, that would have the flag set to having it removed once bought and the mission bit would trigger the completion somehow and finally remove the parasite. But I think this part was what kind of messed things up so I decided to omit it out.
I'm still trying to work on it though.

Actually, that whole thing would be kind of cool as a buyable outfit, disguised as a regular one. Maybe some sort of salvaged thing that you put on your ship, only to discover that it doesn't work very well and your fuel gets drained really quickly. You have to get somebody to kill it for you, replacing it with a non-draining outfit.
