About this mod

Why spend hours flying around a station when you can politely ask the manager for the data? A bit of money has to flow, the guy has to like you, it also helps if you are well respected by the faction, smaller factories are easier, maybe one or the other personal gift... and chance also plays a role.

The whole thing is not set up as a "cheat", it is by no means easy to get to the data, often simply impossible. And not for free. In this respect, one will not be spared the departure from stations ... just less often

Instructions:

Once you speak to a station's manager, you have the additional option of bribing him to get the station's scan data.

Step 1: Get information about his standing, manager personality and station size.

Step 2: Obtain an estimate of the bribe to be spent. Here you can further increase the chance a little by adding up to 3 "gifts".

Step 3: Here it is decided whether the bribery attempt is successful. If you succeed, you have maximum scan data from the station, if you fail, the whole thing varies, depending on how far off you went. Just be surprised.

Step 4: Once you have received the scan data, you leave the station with your spaceship. Once you've undocked, you'll get the promised data.

All important parameters are color coded so that you can quickly get an overview before you run into the open knife.

You see them here:



Remarks:
  • the maximum scan data is not necessarily 100%! Ultimate secrets (if they exist) you have to find out for yourself.
  • Shipyards, Equipment Docks, Trading Stations, Defense Stations and Headquarters are very difficult to bribe
  • you only have one attempt at the manager

Technical:
  • Script for 5.1 but there should no problems be with 6.x
  • Languages: German, English (you are welcome to do translations)
  • I recommend installing ExtendedConversationMenu so that mods using the same dialog (there are quite a few) don't get in each other's way.
