subject: Re: USO Extern

just an idea for reds and non fed safe blues... they would have to be at
terra or stardock .. or perhaps would check sector then move them to terra
if in sectors 2-10.. just land them on terra .. count down till after
extern .. then  cloaks out ..

>From a message by Timberwolf about USO Extern:
> If making extern is a concern and one does not have 24/7 connection to
 run a keep alive, I do have a beta REXX script that logs onto the server 
a few minutes before extern, keeps you in the game with a keep alive  until
extern runs, then logs you out. Only works for fedsafe blues  though.
Non-fedsafe blues as well as reds would have to find another  option.

Used to be one would blow a planet and then hide in the rubble, 
effectively not being seen in sector until you are ready to come out of 
the rubble by hitting ^m to get by the last [Pause] prompt. That is no 
longer the case. 

But if someone has an idea how a non-fedsafe player can hide in fed (I 
don't recommend docking at ports or on a junk planet itself for obvious 
reasons), I can customize the script for that person.

If you have an always connection to the net, this script will work with  no
other modifications. If you are on dial -up, your internet connection 
properties must be set to connect automatically.

Give me a few days to make certain I have the bugs worked out, then i'll 
e- mail it to those that requests it.
