Yes a ship must have a cargo scoop assigned in the .lua. And last time I checked you also had to create a surface which if any cargo were to hit this surface, it is scooped up by the ship... That probably doesn't make sense <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_e_smile.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />Basically this 'surface' is where you can imagine the cargo scoop sits, any cargo hitting the surface or scoop, is picked up by the ship.
ammmmm...... what?

eran100 what this means is, that unless some goes and codes a cargo scoop into more of the ships you are stuck with the 4 (I think) ships that currently support cargo scoops.

oh, WE NEED CODERES! <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//paladin.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':paladin:' />

Remember though that Pioneer is in alpha, the core game is always evolving as is the ability to add new ships, stars systems etc to the game. There are already 10+ ships that you can download seperately and fly around in not too mention new spacestations and ports.Give it time, it will come.

The game seems to crash /close when I use ctrl+print screen. but that maybe my laptop...
does anybody else have issues when pressing CTRL+Prt Screen? My pioneer crashes everytime.

It works fine for me.

This is not a question but I have been reading some old threads and found myself at Robns' [url][/url] page...seeing the image if Austrailia in hyperspace made me laugh <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_e_smile.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />**Edit** took a closer look at that image, I was wrong it was not hyperspace..boooAlso from the same thread how is the new UI coming? some of the mock ups I saw look brilliant and I for one can not wait to see the back of the eye melting solid blue screen of the dock!

new UI? but i like this UI

an example to what I was referring was this[url][/url] of[url][/url]

oh wow, CHANGE IT

That one is a mock-up done by Friendly, the same chap that did the current panel graphics. Its something I've been working towards for many months, but there's a surprising amount of ground work required.I do have a large amount of a new Lua-driven UI system implemented on a branch. Its coming well but is slow and rather mentally draining work. I'm taking a break from it at the moment (not least because I'm about to go overseas for a few weeks for work) but I hope to have it usable before the end of the year.But of course that only means there will be new foundational stuff in place to build fancy interfaces, animations and other bits and pieces. Initially it'll look mostly the same <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//wink3.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

I can only imagine. My brain fries at the mere prospect of understanding the ship.lua's let alone the actual complex work <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//hi.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hi:' />I just wondered how the work was coming on since I have been trawling the older threads in an attempt to catch up on what I missed. Thanks for the update RobN.Oh and I hope you are off to somewhere nice regardless of the fact it is for work <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_e_smile.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Oslo for four weeks. Quite nice - they have fjords there <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_e_smile.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Nice, always wanted to goto Norway myself but life keeps getting in the way.
