Boardcomputer-Integrated External RADAR
What the script does:
BIER is an old fashioned RADAR.
The results are not nearly as accurate as a Gravidar but the range can be far greater.
All it will tell you is that there is something out there and an estimated size of the contact.
Also: SQUASH-Mines are scanned automatically.
Surroundscan: 6 km
Targetscan: 8,5 km
BIER has 2 Modi:
Usage
(ZIP)
Tech Stuff:
If anyone would like to use the BIER Contacts in a script:
They are Nav Beacons (neutral race), that have an Ecliptic Projector installed.
Loval Var "GZ.BIER.CONTACT.SIZE" contains the size, int 1 - 9.
Uninstall: In the script editor, run plugin.gz.bier.uninstall, then save and delete the files.

Boardcomputer-Integrated External RADAR
-
Required equipment:
Triplex Scanner
Duplex Scanner
-
Installation:
2 Microchips
2 Computer Components
Credits
On a small ship the installation costs 300.000 Cr, on a medium 1.000.000 Cr, and on a capital ship 4.000.000 Cr.
Installation takes 30 min, less if docked - ideally at a ship yard.
Moving the ship during that time aborts the installation but the resources/credits are not lost.
-
During a fight the boardcomputer switches to the faster Gravidar and BIER is disabled.
When the last "attacker" of the ship has moved beyond a 6500 m range, BIER takes up operation again.

Usage
-
1. BIER Installation (on a ship) + BIER-Mode change
Menu Button ("Special" Menu)
Alternatively: Hotkey. (Playership only)
. . . . . . While installation is possible on your own ship, it will take a while. =)
If the ship does not have BIER, yet, the button is labeled "Install", if it does it's labeled "Change Mode".
-
2. Ship tags on / off (global setting)
This is a Hotkey that adds/removes tags for Surround (o), Targetscan (v), and malfunction (-) to all ships currently using BIER.
