    • Making Plugin


      Was wondering if some one could tell me how to create a plugin that would give a person acess to the technology (outfits and Ships) of a planet after they have dominated it. So that when you start to take over the universe you could acquire better weapons and such as you went on, tried to figure out how to do this with missioncomputer but I couldn't quite figure it out.

      If you're using Nova, I believe you could make an automatic silent mission for every stellar which requires the stellar's OnDominate bit to be set.

      I think that that would be quite relistic.

      It'd be quite a bit of programming. Most of it repetitious, but still..

      I think that you don't see many love stories in EV simply because the engine isn't quite geared towards that. What are you going to do, keep meeting your significant other in a bar (or, with Nova, the Outfitter, Shipyard, or Trade Center) and have questions like "Will you go out on a date with me?" | Yes/No | "Great, pick me up on <DST> in a month and we'll have dinner."?

      Make a misn that is available with 100% probability in the main spaceport of any Fed planet, but only if the spob is dominated (-32001 legal status, I think), and you haven't done the Fed string. The mission has a time limit of 1 day, so it fails when you take off or jump. In the OnAccept field, you set all the availability bits for Fed tech, and in the OnFail you clear them. This way, when you land on a dominated Fed spob, you will be granted the right to buy all the outfits and ships during that landing, and then you lose those rights as soon as you take off. Plus, if you already have access to the tech, you won't have any problem 'cause the misn is only available if you haven't already done that string. Finally, since the misn clears the access bits when it is finished, you still don't have access to the tech at un-dominated spobs (unless you did the string). Duplicate for the other major strings and enjoy.

      This would be way easier than using the OnDominate bits, and only requires one misn per govt instead of one misn per spob.
