Infact these are the 2 that will be revived whenever you load a savegame. A job is started on both but there are no jobs for this ship type so they die short after againdminor wrote:I have an Arrow and a Starburst in Freedoms Reach that look Derlict. Good chance that these are "dead ships"?....

Does this script address the herds of ships occasionally milling about at gates? I only ask because those traders are needed for the economy, and Im not sure what 'dead' mean.
Ive seen ships doing 'nothing' and had no command, just floating dead in space. If it doesn't address the gate issue, could it be easily adapted for its use?

'Dead' ships often have vanilla names but more significant they have no pilot and no command (COMMAND_NONE) or job (job id = 0) running.eldyranx3 wrote:Does this script address the herds of ships occasionally milling about at gates?

The script finds each of these ships and starts a job.

Hey im having a problem with dead ships. The dead ships are always piloted and I can hail them and talk to the pilots. The dead ship problem had gotten so bad in some sectors that I had as many as 20 dead ships in one sector lined up. Sometimes M1 or M2 is dead as well. Its really annoying! I need some help. I don't know if its from one of the scripts I have installed or if its a problem with the game.
I tried to install this script and it dint do anything to solve the problem. I started a new game and at first the revive script calmed it revived 30 ships. Then it calmed to revive 70 after a game hour and reload. Then 239 ...345...456. And now after only 5 min of playing and reloading it claims to have had revived 470 ships. I think its just listing the dead ships and not fixing them. The script didn't do anything to fix the dead ships in the sectors I talked about earlier. Can any one help with this annoying problem because the game is not fun when there are like 5 dead ships in each sector at a minimum.

I do use this script and I even seen it work on some xenon ships....
I know before when I used the big ship bail out script, it really created so many dead ships... But their was without pilot.... Have you tried to jump to another sector and jump back? Have you try jump out of sector then save reload then jump back to see if it's the same ships that are dead? If you are using the big ship bail out script try to uninstall it to see if it help.

Is there a reason that my number of revived dead ships keeps growing after some gametime, and a load of a savegame? I seem to be getting about +75 revived ships per day, and there's no end in sight.
Reviving them is fine, but if they are just bloating the game universe, shouldn't they be deleted instead? My game's up to nearly 500 or so now, and I can feel it in the overall performance of X3, which is dropping.

Hey I'm no expert but I was having the same problem and after extensive testing I realized that it happened most frequently with scripts that add ships to the game. This led me to believe that it probably is reading ships running others scripts as "dead".
I'm not completely sure though but I have noticed fluctuations in my dead ship count throughout my game. Some times its over 300 and other times its less then 100. Some one who is better at scripting like Scycrow (who I have great respect for) might be able to answer the question though.

Great script. It actually seemed to improve the games performance somehow although I will not even speculate how this happened. The 8-10fps increase is undeniable though.
One side effect.. This script woke up something.. Something horrible... It now prowls Farnhams Legend killing without mercy. The invincible, ruthless, fleet smashing, complex trashing monster called "Tempestine"...
It is a plot related ship and for some reason, this script told it to become quite hostile and patrol the now conquered (sector takeover) and heavily industrialized sector of Farnhams Legend. So far, it has taken out a Raptor and both its heavily-armed Python escorts as well as a wing of 40 assorted Eclipses, Ls, and LXs.. It has even started dismantling a rather large complex I built in the sector..
Is there any way to turn this killing machine off? A script? Something I can delete or modify with the script editor? Maybe a way to change it so that it is no longer totally invulnerable to attack and allow me to simply kill it? I don't even really care about completely botching plot if it means I can be rid of this damned Tempestine monster..

Thousands of dead ships in Prime sectors, need help.
Hi
I have no idea why, but i just jumped into kingdom end and there were like 5000 different dead ships in the sector, the same in argon prime.
I installed the revive dead ships script today and they seemed to start appearing since then, didnt notice them before.
Now i removed the script again, but how do i get rid of all these ships?
I think we need someone to make a script that removes dead ships instead of reviving them. Could someone please do that? I can barely play in these sectors anymore :/

Yes, but it won't do anything but do more damage to what the destroyers hook onto other than Tempestine. Because she's a plot ship, she cannot be destroyed by normal methods, like gates.BrigandPhantos wrote:Use LV's Cheats to spawn a fleet of Kha'ak Destroyers, then sickem on it. Oughta be fun to watch.
