I was playing with the first version of the script and noticed it was Ferrengi only. I was bored so I wrote one that does Gold Aliens.
NOTE: Make sure the Aliens in Gold Area are "ACTIVE".

It reads the Gold Alien and when you hit "F" from the menu it shows all gold aliens. The menu for F will always display 0 at start, something was causing an issue when running random so I made a small work around. I have only tested it to 500 random sectors. If you find an error please feel free to let me know I will do what I can, I hope this helps some people add some other changes to the game. If you see an option I might have overlooked let me know I will see what I can do to add it.

Usage: Connect to T_Edit through TWX enter E then (desired game) and start script

This Version is for 2.07 For 2.08+ see post below.

Previous version has been fixed, my apologies I upped the wrong one last night. It would not cause any issues, but it would hang instead of running through all the way.... sorry.

The fun of uploading scripts. The Gold Alien fighter is a good idea.

"A man who has no skills can be taught, a man who has no honor has nothing."

Seeing as how T-Edit wording changes each version (no consistency) here is a version that works for 2.10. If you find a problem please forward I will do what I can to correct ASAP. I added a small change to show what alien race you selected @ option "F".

Toyman,

Thanks for adding this - I am finally looking to bring back a long-running game that I used to host, only this time with Beta and 30k sectors. This ability to pre-fill the universe and make things more interesting is appreciated.
