You don't need to refurb a ship using worldtrade because worldtrade doesn't bust your holds down... it's just PPTing.

If you're using worldSSM or a worldSST then you specify some furb options (like the class 0 to furb at). It then waits till you need the furb, runs to the class 0, fills it's holds and restarts.

This "run to the class 0" is a danger spot in world red scripts and is really really turn inefficient... so that's why furb scripts like ck's furb exist. A fedsafe blue will deliver a furb ship for you to blow up (you claim some holds from the blown ship) and picks up your cash in the process. This "furber" corpie isn't used in most world red style scripts (like worldSSM) for various reasons... but in manual SST/SDT or teamSST/SDT situations it becomes a major part of the process and lengthy consideration must be paid to the turn efficiencies involved.

If you do want to use an outside furber you'll need to shut off your world red script, tell the corpie to bring you a furb (call for the furb) and manually blow up the ship before restarting. I don't know of any public world red scripts that furb like that automatically... they all run to a class 0 and self furb.

thank you gor that info

what i was lookinh for is a script that will buy figs ...

lets say i upgrade to a bettership at the start of a game and it holds 175k in figs but i only have $$ to buy 25k is there a script that will twp me to the closes known 0-port at cetain points and buy say another 15-25 k in figs? and do this until i max out?

it would be nise to set it to a certain fig amount to buy or when you reach this $$ amount buy this amny figs.

it would also be nice to have a script that would take you to say home base evry 10 mil and drop $$ off either with a corpie or in the citedel

I don't know how 'nice' it would be to be wandering around with 'just shy' of 10 million and get popped by another player...
Most of the times these things aren't meant to 'wander' and trade/steal for that long...
Not to mention that you will at some point be wandering around 'almost enough' cash to buy figs, and you will still have your starting amount less the number you put down marking ports...
Not really a strategy for an 'active' game.
