Overview
This is a small OXP adding an AI to the player's ship.
It adds an equipment called Auto Sun Skimmer for sale at a TL 10 or higher system.
Usage
The equipment can be primed by N (shift n) and then activated by n or disengaged by pressing n again. When activated the equipment takes control of the ship and goes to sun-skim automatically! The player has no control of the stick, but can set the speed and use torus drive or injectors.
If you are attacked whilst the equipment is active, you should disengage by pressing n, go fight, and then reengage with n when you have finished.
Requirements
- You will need functioning Fuel Scoops or all will be in vain!
- External Heat Shielding might also be useful in case of problems.
Issues
Well with the OXP, there is a problem I did not manage to solve yet, it occurs very rarely, but if the planet is between the sun and the player, strange things may happen. I would be pleased if some one confirms that.
