Unread post Pre Taxing
This is a subject some may know others just tax and live with it.
I have posted a short script to pre tax and unlock ship.

This way you can do 3 things at once
1) Drop cash or pick up cash needed for Taxing
2) Unlock ship if it can be.
3) Pay Tax , Called PreTaxing and re-enter Citadel.

Pre Taxing is for Blues and Dock sitters or Furber
So they dont drop and get taxed for large amounts of cash.
The script is made for Citadel use only.
Can be found at http://www.grimytrader.com/
K_PreTax another fine Team Kraaken file :)

Would be much more useful if it worked in Sector (ie Dock), used the Galatic Bank or a (cloaked) Corpie to Xfer cash too. Of course using your personal-computer clock to 'know' when tern hits and automatically pay-tax would probably be to hard to do.

Script's kinda large (3.5kb) for such a simple thing. Wonder how many Easter-Eggs are hiding in it? :wink:

Or you could do what ppl have done for years... when you get some cash and think you might bank, grab 101k, exit-enter and move on.

It was meant to run in Cit. because its the only place you can guarantee a place to put cash
and as an added feature try to unlock ship.

Dock doest guarantee either of these things can be done.

But please feel free to write one and post it for others :)

Oh Yeah. Sure:
Code:
setvar $bot "lone"
send "'"  & $bot & " dep*"
waitfor "Message sent on sub-space channel"
send "'"  & $bot & " with 101000*"
waitfor "Message sent on sub-space channel"
send "'"  & $bot & " unlock*"
waitfor "Message sent on sub-space channel"
halt


I can't imagine why you would publish a script that is so basic and unnecessary --Compiled? If it were in Source/Text Format illustrating some programming technique then sure. The PreTax is tantamount to:
Code:
setVar $Ver "1.03a"
send "'LoneStar's Incredible QuickStats Display Script V"&$Ver&" - Powering Up!!*"
waitfor "Message sent on sub-space channel"
send "'LoneStar's Incredible QuickStats Display Script V"&$Ver&" - Sending Encrypted String!!*"
waitfor "Message sent on sub-space channel"

# This is It!  Hold onto you butt cheeks
send "/"

send "'LoneStar's Incredible QuickStats Display Script V"&$Ver&" - String Sent To Server!!*"
waitfor "Message sent on sub-space channel"
send "'LoneStar's Incredible QuickStats Display Script V"&$Ver&" - Powering Down!!*"
waitfor "Message sent on sub-space channel"
send "'LoneStar's Incredible QuickStats Display Script V"&$Ver&" - Another Fine Script Brought To You!!*"
waitfor "Message sent on sub-space channel"
