ReadMe.txt

Esteemed Commander,

The Galactic Guild of Elite Traders (G.E.T.) has studiously considered your application and is pleased to inform you of your admittance to our Order. We maintain Lodges in all systems of the Eight Charts, and you can be assured of a hearty welcome wherever your voyages now take you. 

May the GETTING exceed the Taking! - Refrain from combat and assume our gentle mantle, and reward will be equally forthcoming.

Yours most Truly,
Grand Master Exolo�n of Inera.


Brother GETter,

The storied intergalactic Elite ranking is attainable for ship Captains of every disposition, peaceful or warlike. Eschew the space-lane on Station approach and watch your Grade soar as you dock with our Markets, trade skillfully, and doggedly ply the celestial Milk Run.

Note well that the ascending Grades of G.E.T. do not countenance the recondite practices of many of today's free traders. We are traditionalists. Contracts are frowned upon, as is opportunistic scooping and the sale of mined minerals and the dealing in precious stones and metals. Our Assessors will not credit you for such sales. We'll meet you on the Market floor or nowhere else. As one of our crasser pooker-playing Brothers once coined: if it ain't paid, the score's not made. We're about buying and selling.

As it forever has been, Market Observer and Market Inquirer, adjuncts to your calling, are almost de rigueur. Do not exit a space-dock without them!

Trade well! One day we'll meet for a toast in the Halls of Inera with the Exalted.

Your friend and mentor,
Dor Reval of Xexedi, Space Grocer.


PS. Much gratitude is due to spara, dybal, and another_commander for their encouragement, advice, and - above all - education of a Javascript neophyte.

Elite Trader is available from the Oolite Wiki at

-------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.9 
* makes total profit apply to the System as a whole: allowing for in-system trading, along with buying and selling at multiple stations in the same system.
* Cumulative profit is given alongside compliments on the Market screen.

Version 1.10

Introduces two G.E.T. entries to the F4 Interfaces screen:

* G.E.T. Master Advisory. The System Guild Master offers salutation and advice to trader acolytes.
* G.E.T. Max Trade Resetter offers the opportunity to set your Maximum Trade, as displayed on the Manifest screen, to the profit gained in the current system. Useful if the system glitched, or if you switched ships and now prefer a clean start.
* E.T. checks for the presence of Market Observer and, if found absent, adds a 'Trade (goods): xxx.xx cr' line for each individual sale, after the manner of M.O.


Version 1.11

* G.E.T. strictures in respect to the _destruction_ of other ships have been tightened. Repeated ship-kills result in a permanent black mark, ruling out further speed, shield, and energy enhancements. It is perfectly acceptable, on the other hand, to damage an aggressor beyond repair and force him to disengage. No Guild penalty results from that form of self-defence.
* Augmented ship specs are reset to nominal after a given number of ship-kills.
* For straying Brothers, the Vow of Good Brotherhood makes its appearance on the F4 Interfaces screen: errant commanders are given the opportunity to reform. If accepted, all G.E.T. privileges are restored.


Version 1.12

* G.E.T. accepts a donation, a 'gift', comprising 1% of every member's profitable trade over 100 cr and 10% over 1000 cr. Donations determine the Brother's advancement in Grade and Title inside the Order, as well as being the prime source of G.E.T. wealth, power, and technical prowess.
* 23 Grades with associated Titles track the advancement of the Brother within the Guild. Grades stretch from 'Grocer' (Grade 0) to 'Elite Grand Master Eternal' (Grade 22). G.E.T. Grades have been liberally adapted from the 33 Degrees of Scottish Rite Freemasonry.
* A Brother's ethical standing is also noted on the Manifest screen: 'Good', 'Reformed', 'Errant', 'Bad', along with his donation to the current station, total donations, and Grade with Title.
* A full G.E.T. Ship Status Report has been added to the F4 Interfaces screen, showing the technical enhancements applied to the ship's systems since the Brother's induction. Both nominal and current specifications are noted for speed, thrust, shields, energy, and energy recharge rate. (Arrival Reports note only previous and revised specs while omitting thrust for reasons of space.)


Version 1.13

* Witchpoint fuelling for Good Brothers above probationary grade (facilitates fast trading between far-flung systems)
* Station contact (Assessor) named on Master Advisory screen
* Increased energy and shield recharge rate increments
* Improved consistency of donation display on Manifest


Version 1.14

* Master Advisory lists the System's planets with stations
*	Planets are numerically named on entering and leaving their gravity
	(eg. Larelace Prime, Lerelace II, Lerelace III, Lerelace IV, etc.)


Version 1.15

* Toggling weapons also toggles the anti-masslock system
* Guild stricture on gems and precious metals tightened 
* Advisory lists the system's stations (minus Rock Hermits)
* Advisory lists prices of system's key commodity, plus quantity


Version 1.16

* increased max_energy, max_energy_recharge, & max_shield_recharge
* rectified determination of the 2 economic subdivisions (0..3,4..7)
* sundry optimizations - var replacing repeated properties etc.


Version	1.17 

* witchpoint comms Trade Advisory (where to sell) for GB > Grade 1
* Guild Home greetings somewhat tailored to Brother's Grade & Title
* max_thrust limit increased --> 256
* further code optimizations - var for repeated properties etc.

/* 

  Version 1.19.1
  --------------
  
  * A minor revision of the conditions for showing the "noob Grocer" text under G.E.T. Master Advisory. Previously dependent on the number of runs (6), now, once the Grocer has read and acknowleged the introductory text, G.E.T.'s Master Advisory reverts to its true purpose of displaying the buy-prices of the system's primary commodities.
  
  
  Version 1.19
  ------------

 * Upon docking at a Lodge, G.E.T. will pay a <b>Boon of 100 cr</b> in appreciation of your patronage of the system's principal Guild Home.
 * A new <b>F4 Interface</b> exclusive to the Lodge: the "<u>G.E.T. Guild Lodge Sales Advisory</u>", showing sell prices for the two most traded goods at all stations insystem. Those above the Apprentice grade may go on availing themselves of the <u>Witchpoint Trade Advisory</u> (giving only the single most-traded commodity prices), still a somewhat quicker option for the impatient trader.
 * NPC traffic will now be encountered going into and out of the Guild Lodge - assume most of these ships are Elite Traders!
 * Lodge Guardian Constrictor IIg craft will now respond to <b>S.O.S. signals</b> from beleaguered vessels, along with any Galcop police present.
 * Lodge-tailored <b>welcome messages</b> appear at the Guild Lodge after docking there.
 * G.E.T. has done away with Arrivals Screen refuel/repair/enhancement summaries in favour of <u>more succinct console messages</u>, facilitating swifter passage to the Market. The Guilder is directed now to the <b>F4 Interfaces</b> for fuller data on recent ship enhancements under "<u>G.E.T. Ship Status Report</u>".
 * Various persistent - and perhaps annoying - ET behavioural glitches have been remedied.
 * At every system's witchpoint you will find a <b>Guild Lodge</b>. In keeping with G.E.T.'s arcane and esoteric Order, these are small <u>pyramidal</u> stations offering welcome, ceremonial, cameraderie, and a trading floor - but no shipyard. One of the Lodge's external faces sports Galcop insignia for obfuscatory purposes and to assure a small police presence. <u>Games may not be saved</u> from inside a Lodge. The Guild Lodge flashes green and orange on your scanner.
 * An ancient Guild tradition is the deployment of <b>three guardian ships</b>. Today, these are well-equipped Constrictor IIg models. A guardian will do nothing but patrol near the Lodge, unless disturbed. Guardians, in addition to the small (suborned) police presence which all Lodges attract, make a Guild Lodge's vicinity one of the safest - if not <i>the</i> safest - in the entire system. Guardian ships flash blue and orange on your scanner.
 * The Guild accounts as a <b>gift</b> the rescuing of any escape pod, be its occupant of the innocent or the guilty. Saving the helplessly adrift will gain a Guilder not only merit, but also, as befits a gift of this nature, a <b>5-point ship enhancement</b> plus a real <b>Gift to the Guild of 1000 credits</b> to further Grade advancement. This of course <u>on top of any bounty</u> that Galcop deems you worthy of.
 * "Cloaking technology" - that 'Galcop advance' much rumoured and whispered about - was, in fact, long ago an invention of the Guild. They called their device the <b>Hull Shroud</b>. Needless to say, you, as a Guilder, can have it - at a price. Seek it at Stations with a high technological index.
 * The <b>Constrictor II</b> - FE Shipyards' 'black project' - is no longer the restricted perk only of Grand Masters. You, as a lowly 'Master' will now find it available, if you look hard. And it's not at all expensive! [nominal specs: thrust = 26; speed = 350; pylons = 4; capacity = 80 TC. Please note: this <u>exclusive ET ship</u> is designed for parity with <b>FE Ships</b>, not vanilla Oolite ships.]
 * G.E.T. will pay to all Guilders except Grocers a regular and periodic <b>Bonus</b>. Guild bonuses are in gratitude for "service, devotion, and fortitude." Bonuses are time-, Grade-, and performance-dependant: <u>the higher you are in Grade</u> and the more <u>credits you have banked</u>, the higher will be your Bonus.
 * G.E.T. owns to a new <u>sensitivity</u> to their Guilders' <b>species-gender</b> - you can be addressed now as "Sister", "Brother", "Sibling" (bi-,&nbsp;tri-&nbsp;or null-sexed&nbsp;persons), or just 'Guilder' (the default).
 * As well as speedier Grade advancement, your <b>gifts</b> to the Guild bring with them <b>3-point ship enhancements</b>.
 * Practical <b>console advisories</b> onstation for Grocers who have not yet made 4&nbsp;runs.
 * G.E.T. begins to take account of <b>time</b>...
 * <b>Time spent as a Good Guilder</b> is recorded on your F5F5 Manifest in <u>Lave days</u> (and Lave years).
 * <b>System-to-System Runs</b> as a Good Guilder are numerically displayed on the F5F5 Manifest.
 * Main Station no longer mass-locks your ship on approach (so please take care you don't slam into it!) (Grade 1 and above)

   Version 1.18
   ------------
 * In spite of the addition of the new F4 page 'Gift to Guild' (which speeds advancement in Grade), progression to the Elevated and Exalted Grades (10-22) has been made more arduous.
 * Donations are no longer limited to one per system: they are cumulative within the system.
 * "Buber's Beats" Milk Run guide for inductees on the F4 Interfaces screen.
 * 'Milk or Cream? - Buber's Beats' - a comprehensive wiki section with solid guidance, a truncated version of which appears in-game.
 * Owing to a ballooning volume of Guild applications (blame TM!), the 'black box' anti-Masslock device is now reserved for Probationary Grade 1 and above.
 * Buying and selling from and to multiple stations insystem is facilitated.
 * More data now appears on the G.E.T. F5 Mission screen.
 * Gifts and Last trade (with star, station, and goods) added to F5 Mission screen.
 * Since space allows it, a station's secondary legal commodity is now listed by the F4 Master Advisory along with the primary.
 * Much revision of the F4 Interfaces texts.
 * More immersive comms messages geared to Grocers.
 * Witchpoint Trade Advisory messages made more succinct.
 * A slight re-ordering and renaming of the G.E.T. Grades.
