Claim Vehicles

Background

Around the mid-2000s, crime in Night City had developed to near unmanageable levels.

A series of city wide ordinances were issued to crack down on the problem.

Among them, the Legal Appropriation and Impound ordinance of 2055 made it legal for Law Enforcement officers to appropriate on the spot (claim) any vehicle suspected to have been linked to a crime. Along with other ordinances turning mere civil offences into criminal activity, the Claims ordinance allowed the NCPD to commandeer any vehicle they felt like at any given time.

The N. C. L. A. I. M. S system (Night City Legal Appropriation and Impound Management System) simplifies the process by transferring the unique ID of the vehicle to a growing fleet managed by the NCPD and allowing officers to call for a vehicle of a certain type when and where they need them.

As a side effect of getting access to the NCPD database, V can now tap into N. C. L. A. I. M. S to record stolen vehicles and summon them (or a close match) when needed.

Features

The mod is now aware of most in-game vehicles and is no longer limited to player owned vehicles only.

That means about 1649 vehicles (including 500+ custom vehicle variants from mods) are now recognized  as potential targets for adding to your garage on top of the vehicles you can get from quest or purchase.

• []Stealing a vehicle through force, engineering or technical skills will enable the matching model in the player's owned vehicles and make that model available from the player's garage[/]

  []The mod is disabled until V receives Victor's enhancements and activates the Car Hacker perk[/]

  []In addition to adding a claimed vehicle to the player's garage, the mod also alters the model you claimed to reduce the chances it will de-spawn. It is not perfect but it seems to work well enough to be playable.[/]

  []V can use Quick Hacks to claim or remove vehicles from the garage.[/]

  []The mod supports multiple vehicle summon modes (see below)[/]

  []CET is not required, but if you do have it, you can use the console to check on the Claim process and see why it didn't work.[/]

  Why do this? Simply to make vehicles accessible much earlier than they were intended and to unlock vehicles non originally available to the player.

  For example, you have to complete ALL of Dakota's jobs to get the Macknaw Saguaro as a reward... or, with this mod, you have to find the one model sitting pretty in an empty camp north of the abandoned airfield and keep it even if you haven't done anything for Dakota yet.

  How it works

  You need two things to enable the mod:

  1- You need to complete the first visit with Viktor.

  2- You need to acquire the 'Car Hacker' perk (under Intelligenc
