Taxi Software MK1

Argon Discoverer - a good taxi?

Contents

With the Taxi-Software MK1, you employ a taxi driver for you M5 who uses the ship as a taxi for passenger transportation. The pilot moves from one station to another and earns money with every flight. The more experienced he gets, the further he'll move, until he covers the whole universe. The salary is calculated by rank, distance and number of jumpgate passes.

Seminars

With every level increase, the taxi moves to a nearby equipment dock for a seminar. For every rank, he pays some small amount of money and then goes back to work.

Naming

The ship is named after the start sector, the current race and the rank of the pilot. It is not renamed if the boost extension is installed.

This script is a translation from the German script Taxisoftware MK1. If you find problems or improvements in content and language, please leave me a message.

Goner Emergency-Jumpdrive

In recent times, pilots died because they entered insecure areas without

the right equipment, because life in the X-Universe gets more and more
dangerous and all enemies work on improving their weapons. For some
time now, the Goner community offers a salvage insurance for endangered
pilots. However, they noticed that preventing pilots from dying is far
more effective than just picking up the pieces after the fight and
reanimating the pilot.

As soon as a pilot owns a salvage insurance, he will also have an
Emergency Jumpdrive Insurance that helps him evading dangerous situations.
He assigns a cockpit key to the jumpdrive to be able to leave immediately
when his ship is about to be destroyed. This insurance only works for the
playership!

Content:

This script enables the player to start the "Emergency-Jumpdrive", that rescues the playership out
of a fight immediately and without any waiting time. If the player owns a salvage insurance, he
will be informed about the correct installation and the possibilities of this jumpdrive via
message. Players who do not own a salvage insurance will get this message as soon as they start the
game after buying one. After getting this message, you will have to assing a hotkey.

Cost:

As the Goners store most of their jumpdrive-technology in Elysium of Light, the tracking device for 
ships is pretty small. Therefore it will be installed to every ship in the player fleet and to any
new ship purchased or built by the player. For already existing ships, there is an installation fee
of 1000cr per ship. Every emergecy jump costs up to 5 salvage insurances and several hundred
thousand credits. If however the hull of the ship is still intact to the greatest part, the Goners
will count this as insurance fraud and may charge a higher penalty fee. The jumpdrive is an
emergency device and not a toy.
I the player cannot pay the fees, the Goners will still help and admit a jump. This however could
raise the cost for later jumps.
