Extended Negotiations

Expands the flexibility of the negotiation system.

Now with Mod Options support.

This is a simple mod, made mostly for myself.

Added an alternative download with support for negotiating Drop Tonnage.

The v0. 4. 2a seems to have fixed all the issues the initial upload had. And I did not notice any glaring incompatibilities with the most common mods.

So the "with tonnage" branch can be considered stable now.

Currently working on uplifting all the fixes that make sense from the "tonnage" version to the "no tonnage" one.

In my heavily modded playthrough, I did not notice any issues with the mods I use, like: YAML(and all that goes with it), Pilot Overhaul Eternal, Coyote's missions, vonBiomes, Better Mission Choices, etc.

So, the "tonnage" will be the marked as the "main" download.

And the "no tonnage" version will be in the maintenance mode - only to be used if there are some incompatibilities with the tonnage related changes.

Negative negotiation values

Allows to negotiate down into negatives for some items, gaining additional negotiation points in return.

For most items, the minimal level is equal to the base maximum (e.g. if base maximum is 15, the lowest allowed will be -15)

CBill payout:

For CBill payout, negative values mean reducing the payment received after the mission (even into negatives - you will pay to the employer).

In effect, it allows to buy negotiation points to spend them elsewhere.

Salvage shares:

For the salvage shares there is no sense in negative values.

So, the minimal possible level is -1. This makes you refuse from the "base" 2-4 shares, resulting in 0 salvage shares (not sure why would anyone want to do that, but now you can).

Insurance:

  "You boast you'll win this without a scratch? Well, go on, but you will pay a fee for any damage you take!"

For the insurance, the negative values make you pay extra for the taken damage.

The damage penalty is the same as the estimated damage cost, up to the negotiated maximum.

(use Mod Options to adjust the magnitude of the fee - experimental in v0. 4)

Extended negotiations range

Allows to negotiate up to twice the base maximum (e.g. if base maximum is 15, then up to 30 ). But every point beyond the base maximum will have twice less effect.

This extra negotiation is available for all items except air strikes.

Drop Tonnage:(experimental in 0. 4a)

Spend negotiation points to increase allowed Drop Tonnage.

Gain negotiation points for decreasing allowed Drop Tonnage.

Faction Standing bonus for unused negotiation points[/si
