The Quest To Spew

Personaly, I'd remove megafreighters from the game entirely. Would you entrust your valuable cargo to something that blows up that frequently?

I agree with andrewas. Take those beasts out of the game. Half the time I see them they are exploding.
...unless you can get them working...that would be cool to see

If I remember right, almost all the times that they spontaneously combust are at L-Points when

A) Two run into each other.

The escorts exit after them and whap one in the butt.

C) Some inconsiderate fool has parked a ship right at the exit.

A can be fixed by increasing the following distance in iAI.GiveFormateOrder. B can be fixed by having the escorts exit the L-Point BEFORE the freighters (which imo would be more logical; you’d want the guns in a potential combat zone before the cargo). C can be fixed by having the traffic script periodically check for ships without a place to go.

Everything you say is true. These things could and probably will be fixed in Traffic (ask Joco and GrandpaTrout). So ...it would be good to have non-autocombustable mega freighters jetting around the Middle States

How goes the quest to spew mdvalley? I never received your final version...I think you sent it to my old email address. Register at the Torn Stars site and I will give you upload privledges so you can easily share anything you are working on.

Okay I registered on that Torn Stars website. The whole package is 35k, so it’s a quick up/download. (I still need to add in the whole ini file thing to make it a selectable mod though.)

Megatrucking is still stalled on the side of the road.
