Description
As i'd never built a complex in X3 before a couple of days ago I decided to write a plugin while playing about with them.
This plugin puts BBS offers in stations where you can bid for lucrative contracts to build high end compexes for NPC races.

If you decide to bid you will be hailed with a list of tender which you should choose from. If you go too low you may lose profit, too high and you may not be warded the contract.

After a short peroid a decision will be made and if you are sucessful you will be hailed with the contract

If part of the deal is for you to build a silicon or ore mine always check the build sector as a suitable asteroid may be pointed out by the sector owner, this does not mean it's the best yield asteroid in the sector so you may want to seach before placing.

If you have bid too high the the offer will be terminated.

Once a contract is offered 2 new commands can found in the "Custom" menu , these commands will only be available during a contract and on completion or temination they will no longer be available.

1. Transfer Complex to Race -
This command has many purposes, it's main is to convert a finished complex to the race you have a contract with. Running this command on your unfinished complex (or any other station) will show what factories are still needed.

Also by using the Transfer Complex to Race command and choosing any Shipyard you will be offered the chance to terminate the contract.

2. Repack Station to TL
[ external image ]
The second command (only available in TL class during contracts) allows you to repack any of your stations back into your TL.
This command comes in very handy when building complexes and has the bonus of working on any of your stations (including complex hubs).
Once run your TL must not move or the station may be destroyed.

Once the entire complex is complete run the Transfer Complex to Race command on it and a last check will be made

It is very important at this point that any other stations you have in the sector are set not to trade with other races, if they are they will be assimilated with the complex for 0 credits.
At this point you should be paid out unless the scan shows any of the complex stations shields at less than 100%!

If everything is ok then it's payday and depending on how long it took you to build the complex a bonus multiplier will be added to your origional quote.

You may if you wish add further stations to the complex and recieve some extra payment for this if the stations fill the resource gaps.
