Now can someone explain this to me again, because I'm pretty damn sure the Eurus was not in vanilla, and the Venti you could only get from OTAS rank whatever; now how i just see Mercenary versions of both floating around Omicron???

Admitted, I do have scripts, but unless they didn't care to mention, none of them say they add any removed ships (apart from pirate), I have: The Bonus Pack; ADAMA - AAH (station apologies); Improved Boarding; Marine repairs; Marauder Shipyard; TRP - Operation Loki (stops some stations disappearing)and also the TRP - ATF shipyard and Terran station fix. Im pretty sure these don't add any OTAS ships, but does anyone know otherwise?

hmmm.. well without reversing the scripts then im not sure. The scripts could add them randomly. Even the job file could do it, when you say spawn class of ship. ie. allow spawn of M2's.

If you're playing TC then they are part of the O:FF set up. Exterminator generally hangs around with the two merc OTAS ships, a merc Medusa proto and a couple of others. If you play O:FF from start to finish you'll often see them moving from OmLy down to M148.

They can't be forced to bail in vanilla (AFAIK), but if install the NPC bailing add-on you can potentially get all three of them Smile

Ahhhh, that's why the ship list (http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?p=3565931) for X3TC says the Eurus is 'Not Obtainable', rather than not in vanilla. I might have to get the NPC bailing then, because I really want a Venti and Medusa Protoype, and they are a bit of a pain usually; I dunno about the Eurus, it's pretty sub-standard for an OTAS ship... NPC bailing is the one you said about that let's you get OWP's isn't it Kirlack?

Yeah, that's the one. You'll need to either open the script editor and run the NPC bail config menu, or use the hotkey manager to set it up and adjust the parameters, as large and huge ship bailing is off by default.

Defo getting that then. Has anyone managed to cap themselves a Notus Hauler? I really want one, it seems a very good alternative to the eclipse. I managed to find one, but it was being escorted by about 15-20 Novas, and I only had a Pirate Eclipse; the Notus bailed, but I died very shortly after... Such a shame!

I actually found an abandoned Notus Hauler about 10-12 hours into a new game with that script running. It was hanging around the east gate of Danna's Chance.

Yeah, I had a little research, and the Internet tends to agree with you Kirlack, the rare ships should be in omicron, but you can't cap them. I would say you we're a lucky bugger for getting the Notus, but I just found out I can now buy them from the OTAS shipyard, dunno which mod added that! I can also buy the Eurus, Venti, Auster Hauler, the Sirokos (whoop whoop....) and the Astraeus Hauler (the better Cerberus). I can also buy Griffons at normal argon shipyards, the Tern Sentinel at Teladi ones and all the ATF ships at the Moon shipyard. I like mods...

I once used the cheat package to add all the usually unobtainable ships to shipyards throughout the universe. OTAS with their full range available is excellent Big grin

And the Astreaus Hauler with 7 Notus fighters + 3 Heavy Dragons makes an amazingly efficient OOS patrol force Big grin

BAM! Got myself a Venti! I love the look of it, and I love that it has 2 3-barrelled Gatling Guns on the 'wings', which actually spin at different speeds according to the RPM of the weapon mounted on it (and is firing at the time). It looks soooo cool when you put PRG's in those slots!

I may try that Kirlack, but then I may just get a Panther with 32 of the damn things in it! (the new graphics card is in the post, so I MIGHT be able to view that spectacle without the game crashing...). I do love the Astreaus though, i'll probably use at least 2 to escort each M2!
