Inventory Collector

Inventory Collector

This mod adds a new default job option for your pilots.

Pilots assigned to Inventory Collector duty will visit all your ships in the galaxy and collect their inventory items.

The collected items will be:

(1) delivered to HQ storage every now and then when:
Deposit to HQ - checked
Deposit to Player - unchecked

(2) teleported immediately to player's inventory when,
Deposit to HQ - unchecked
Deposit to Player - checked

(3) kept in pilot's local inventory when,
Deposit to HQ - unchecked
Deposit to Player - unchecked


If you are using Capital Ship Loot Magnet, then this mod helps collecting those picked up items.

Use a fast ship for this job, in theory you do not need more than one ship.

Pilots will gain experience every time they successfully execute a job.

To start the mod for a ship, hail the pilot, go to submenu 'more' and select 'Start Inventory Collector'.

You may blacklist specific sectors to prevent servicing ships located there (war zones).

When option 'Use Global Blacklist' is checked, the script will look for blacklist created for civilian ships with sector activity. There you may add factional filters or just specific sectors to avoid. Script local sector settings are always in use, so keep that list empty if you rely only on global list.

Enjoy.

Version 7.x compatible.
