SCR: Teladi Information Service Deutscher Thread
See here for DrBullwinkle's updated version.
The Teladi Information Service (T.I.S.) is a service provided by the Teladi Trade Organisations Department of Intelligence, which offers valuable information for a certain fee.
It can be bought in every Teladi Trade Station for about 150,000 credits.
The user can request information on every tradable ware and ship in the universe.
Description
Searching:
- for a ware returns a detailed list of stations buying and selling the ware. The list shows the stations stock and price, aswell as the distance in jumps.
- for a ship returns a complete list of ships in your universe, so you'll always know where rare ships are flying.
Costs:
Since nothing in this universe is for free, the player has to pay a certain fee for every search.
For wares this fee is 22 credits per sector; for ships the price is calculated as follows:
costs = shipclass-value/220 * amount of sectors
Shipclass-values:
M5 500 credits
M4 500 credits
M3 1,000 credits
M8 5,000 credits
M6 15,000 credits
M7 40,000 credits
M2 100,000 credits
M1 100,000 credits
TM 1,000 credits
TL 15,000 credits
Example: Searching for a M7 in 100 sectors costs 18,100 credits.
Notes for the shipfinder:
With version 7.5 I tried to balance the shipfinding part a bit.
Now, with a chance of about 10%, there will be a loss of reputation for the according race.
Additionally, the results do not display the exact position, but only approximate areas (1-4 sectors aways from the right sector).
Like this you still have to search for the ships, but you get a hint where they are.
Configuration:
Under the General-Heading you can define, where to search. The possibilities are:
- Search all sectors
- Search sectors with objects owned by player
- Search known sectors
For searching wares the last possibility is recommended.
'Search sectors with objects owned by player' will reduce the overall cost for searching to a small fee of 100 credits.
Under the Warefinder-Heading you can define the search algorithm. The possibilites are:
- Universe
- Proximity
If 'Universe' is selected, the results are listed only regarding the price.
Else if 'Proximity' is selected, the distance to the playership will be considered.
Another feature here is the ship quick selection. Here you can define up to 5 ships of your choice, which you can later select in the warefinder.
Under the Shipfinder-Heading you can refresh the ship list. If you never do that, you will find many entries like UNDEFINED OBJECT, when you search for ships. However this option does not affect functionality.
Usage
The usage is self-explaining. Just hit the hotkey and the main menu opens.
If you run the T.I.S. for the first time, the configuration menu will open instead of the main menu.
You can navigate through all menus via 'ESC' or by using the menu items.
You can't open the T.I.S. twice - if you try, Betty will complain.

Teladi Information Service (v7.5)
Italian t-file by DannyD
In- and Uninstallation
To install, unpack the .rar-file into your X3:TC main directory. The SE needs to be activated.
The script does not use any command slots. It only installs the hotkey 'Open T.I.S.'.
To uninstall, run 'uninstall.plugin.tis' and delete all files belonging to this script.
Incompatibilities
Unfortunately the script is not compatible with the Bulk Transporter Upgrade by Al_Main, as it uses the same ware-slot.

Feel free to criticize, submit bugs and translation mistakes or post ideas!
