 Re: perfect haggle
To get the full appreciation of what EP has done, try writing a haggle routine sometime. I have written a few different haggle routines, but I have never accomplished the consistent accuracy that EP has - and that makes a big difference in cashing. EP has written an excellent script.

 Re: perfect haggle
This is sort of on topic is here, can someone explain why the haggle script is a yearly version deal? Is it because of the shifting prices in the game based on date? Just trying to understand more as I go here..

 Re: perfect haggle

Just trying to understand more as I go here.. I was going to ask the same question. you beat me to it RG Orion. I was trying to understand if this was a yearly thing or had to do with pricing changing.

 Re: perfect haggle
The expiration is there because I’m still selfish about this script, and I only half want you to use it. And so I retain this small measure of control over the script. In the games I prefer, it is a huge advantage… one that I hate giving up. But in the end, I was too vain to keep it completely to myself.
Oh, and forcing everyone to use the same version is easier to support too.

+EP+ You can't fool us. We know that every time we use it, it transfers any fractions of credits to your galactic bank account and the only reason you need to update it yearly is to change the routing numbers so the Feds can't track you down.
