Jaguar Company/Version History

v2.0 (2012-11-30)

• First release out of WIP.
• Moved route code fully into the main worldscript.
• New worldscript for attackers code. Remember attackers. Even players who jump system.
  • Friend or Foe checks all ships in scanner range.
  • The first few shots are ignored as "friendly fire". Reputation can be lost!
  • You can remove the hostile mark by going to a new galaxy. This will also remove your reputation.
• Welcome screen on docking.
• 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.

• Added turrets to the base.
• Stopped the rotation of the base.
  • Found out stations stop rotating when attacking and don't start rotating after.
