Does anyone one know if any exist for use with SWATH or ZOC? I am baffled that such a script is not built into swath. Am I missing something? Did planetary trading suddenly become not so profitable between v2 wide beta 8 and TW Gold?

Planetary trading depends on the percentage that is set for it. If its at 100% then fine, you get the same as if you would have traded from the planet one ship load at a time. If its set to something like 70 or 80% then its more profitable to do it one ship load at a time and thats what most look for is the profit factor unless your so huge and powerful that it doesnt matter any more...in that case the game is over and why are you still playing it. There are scripts to planetary trade, you just have to find them. Tip, if you have auto haggle on in Swath then just start a planetary trade and it will haggle it for you, no need for a script. If you want to sell a ship load at a time then use the grab sell script that comes with Swath.

FUnny you should mention this... I've just published an article on planetary haggling at http://tavern.homeip.net/TWGS/haggling_lessons.cfm

I also have a few TWX scripts for planetary trading - a buydown script, and a planetary negotiator. Check them out at http://tavern.homeip.net (you'll need to login before downloading).
