* First release out of WIP.
+
* Thargoids and tharglets always returns true in $isHostile check.
* Moved route code fully into the main worldscript.
+
* There is a safe zone of 30km around the base.
* New worldscript for attackers code. Remember attackers. Even players who jump system.
+
** NB: The safe zone does not extend to known attackers.
** Friend or Foe checks all ships in scanner range.
+
* Took out some ship script event handlers and AI sendScriptMessage functions from the base, buoy, miner and tug ship scripts that is inserted by $addFriendly.
** The first few shots are ignored as "friendly fire". Reputation can be lost!
+
* Fixed colour bug with the tracker. Didn't start off red if the target was behind the player.
** You can remove the hostile mark by going to a new galaxy. This will also remove your reputation.
+
* Fixed name error for $performJaguarCompanyAttackTarget in $addFriendly.
* Welcome screen on docking.
+
* Fixed sun check error if no sun exists.
* Check for player helping. Thanks to Wildeblood for pointing out the then invisible world script event 'shipAttackedOther'.
 
** There's a 10% chance of being seen in the heat of battle. A kill is always seen and rewarded highly.
 
** If the player has enough reputation in combat then the communications buoy will transmit a beacon code of 'J' for the player to follow on the ASC. Wait a couple of minutes before checking, the tug pushing the communications buoy out has to reach the drop off point before the beacon activates.
 
** The market for the base will change if the player has enough reputation.
 
* The communications buoy will slowly rotate to point towards the patrol ships on release from the tug.
 
* Black Box Tracker points to the nearest patrol ship.
 
** Uses new visual effects code for Oolite v1.77 and newer, otherwise a simple invisible object hanging above the closest patrol ship that can be tracked with the Advanced Space Compass.
 
** Tracker deactivates if the player is close to the patrol ships.
 
* If Jaguar Company is forced out of interstellar space, they will all use 1 witchpoint exit even though they are all independent entities and not escorts or part of a group.
 
* Position and name of the base is now fixed. Uses 'system.scrambledPseudoRandomNumber(salt)'.
 
** Conjunction of the witchpoint, planet and sun is checked for so the base doesn't end up in the middle of the planet.

Sometime ago I posted some images on the Screenshots thread of the Oolite BB, of what is possible with Griff's multi-decal Player Cobra Mk III OXP. I mentioned that I have a lioness on the back of my Cobbie 3 hunters. Someone else suggested that jaguars might be better. This formed an idea in my head and Jaguar Company was born.

Overview

Adds in an Elite group of pilots to patrol the space lanes in Anarchy, Feudal and Multi-Government systems.

The members of Jaguar Company are part-time reservists so there is a chance that they will appear if there is a major Galactic Naval convoy in the system.

Requirements

Optional OXPs

This is highly recommended.
