Pioneer Scout Plus G18 Full is released! All in one!* More fast.* More stable.* More missions.* More traffic.* More action.* More visible ships.* Police Robot more intelligent.* More fun, really. Always built on the latest engine update of Pioneer Space Sim The different modules of action, Jousting.lua and Battle.lua, are now more integrated with Traffic, this improve and streamline the experience of "action on demand". The Traffic module, enhances and makes more in each version. Now, replacing BulkShips.lua module also controls large ships stationed near the orbital ports. Now you can enable/disable the auto battle system with a configurable key. Gone are the annoying and repeated police messages, which nullified the radar. Now the police do not notify with messages, but the fine, wait in port. And if you do not pay, your life in the faction, will be complicated. MechaniCop (police robot spacecraft) has learned to defend the player, of pirates that attack within 100 Km of the spaceport. Adjusted the size of the explosions graphics for better performance in battle multi ships. Information on the number of passenger cabins which supports a ship is provided. And many small improvements that you will discovery. Remember, the new version uses its own directory: ~/.pioneersp on Linux DocumentsPioneersp on Windows Therefore you can have installed (and run, concurrently if desired and your computer supports it) Pioneer Space Sim, and Pioneer Scout Plus Download free from here: Pioneer Scout Plus G18f for Windows32, Linux32, Linux64 Enjoy this. :pioneer:

Some notes for this version. The key to enable / disable auto combat is "Y" by default. But you can change the one you like. I have him set to "CapsLock", for use the led "CapsLock" indicator of keyboard. You must be careful of activate the auto combat "only when you are certain that the ship that shoots, shoot to you". You do not want the auto combat is active when you exit hyperspace in the middle of a dogfight. The auto combat does not do everything alone. Only set the ship toward the target and shoot. He need your help, you must accelerating and braking to maintain the target at a suitable distance (1000, 1500 mts) The police can help if a pirate attack within 100 Km of the spaceport. But the police are not always there when we need it. It may be that you do not find free bay in some spaceport; do not despair, in a few seconds or minutes, the ships begin to leave the port, and you can dock.

This mod is awesome.. How close is it as an update for version 20140610 of Pioneer?

[SanguinemUK]

Might I make a suggestion? Lowering the payments for the explore missions. Right now it only takes a few missions before you can get into a Lanner and that seems a little easy.

[walterar]

@DarthVain In the last release of Pioneer Space Sim (20140610-12), nothing new useful for Scout. @SanguinemUK You're right. In the next stage of the game, balance is needed. Thanks for playing Pioneer Scout Plus :victory:

[walterar]

We have all suffered from the delay in loading the game. For Scout+ is dramatic, as the delay in the load is proportional to the number of models in play; Pioneer Scout Plus has more than twice models of Pioneer Space Simulator. The good news is that @fluffyfreak has found a way to fix this in the Pioneer engine. See here[url]https://github.com/pioneerspacesim/pioneer/pull/2945[/url] to this, the next version of Scout (G19) will be much, really much faster to load. Thanks fluffyfreak! :hi: And to all those who make the Pioneer engine better every day. :mole:

@SanguinemUK You're right. In the next stage of the game, balance is needed. its really right !!! @ SanguinemUK , i think i'll make the same adjust of the scout missions on Genesia for the next release :good:

[walterar]

Pioneer Scout Plus G19 is coming! In just a few days... :mole: :gamer:

 We have all suffered from the delay in loading the game. For Scout+ is dramatic, as the delay in the load is proportional to the number of models in play; Pioneer Scout Plus has more than twice models of Pioneer Space Simulator. Perhaps there is a little delay, but when you open up a well stocked ship yard, its oh so worth it, same goes for Genesia too. :girlcrazy:

[walterar]

Thanks Geraldine, I hope you've learned to use automatic fighter pilot. :prankster:

Pioneer Scout Plus G19 Full is released! * More fast.* More stable.* More missions.* More traffic.* More action.* More visible ships.* Police Robot more intelligent.* More fun, really. Always built on the latest engine update of Pioneer Space Sim. (Except things that break.  * Best balance in the paid of missions Messenger-Delivery, Transportation of Persons (Taxi) and Scout.* You must be very careful not to jump to hyperspace, less than 2500 mts of space ports, which is now a crime severely fined; but you can always do it if absolutely necessary. * Police attacks the NPC ships that fire near the spaceport, and as the case, may defend the player.* The police presence is greater now.* The hyperdrive engines now have a only 30 day warranty.

[Geraldine]

Great stuff Walterar! Looking at the Storeria ship, it kind of reminds me of the Space 1999 Eagle, yes I like! :girlcrazy: And no, sorry Walterar but I am hopeless with the automatic fighter pilot. I much prefer full manual combat. I still keep trying to control the ship and end up fighting the auto pilot. Too many years of Elite II means its instinct for me now when it comes to battles. I also noticed the latest Pioneer build is broken, so which build did you use for G19f as it's base?

[Styggron]

Downloading it now, thank you so much Walterar. I play this so much ! This one and Genesia are simply the best ! I really like the auto combat computer, sometimes I am feelin a little lazy I use it It's all about choices :hi:

[walterar]

 I also noticed the latest Pioneer build is broken, so which build did you use for G19f as it's base? An work of Laarmen, very big and very long awaited, has just been added in the master of Pioneer Space Sim. This work is very important for the future. It will allow the development of many new and interesting things. But, it is not over yet. Luckily, now, Pioneer Scout Plus has its own master, separated of the master Pioneer Space Sim. The operation of each new work that fuses the Scout+ master is properly tested, in the possible, to not cause any problems to the player. If I check a work that causes problems, simply because they are not finished yet, just do not include it. My intention is to release a final product playable until the next version. Now, while you play the new versión Scout+ G19, I'll try to help solve the problems of the Pioneer engine. :mole:

@sapog662 We move here

[walterar]

Ouch! I made a grave mistake. I have distributed my personal executable, which has replaced the F1 key for the 5 key on the numeric pad. Excuse me. :swoon: Here you can download this little fix pack that contains the correct executable: Windows32, Linux32, Linux64 Only must unpack and replace the wrong executable, by the new . :good:
