Enhanced Surrender

Enhanced Surrender is a simple mod that allows the player to surrender to guards in more situations or when vanilla surrendering is not working for whatever reason. The mod aims to be a seamless enhancement of the vanilla surrender mechanics.

You can only surrender to guards!

While it is possible to surrender to guards in vanilla Starfield it does not always work. There are many circumstances where you will find the guards unwilling to accept surrender or the surrender attempt fails for some other reason. Forcing you to flee or to seek out a bounty terminal in another system to get any peace. This mod fixes that!

Made the guards mad and don't want to wait 3 days or to find a bounty terminal? Now you can just quickly surrender again. Getting blown up in space before you can even hail the security ship? Just power down weapons and force a quick surrender. As long as a guard/guard ship is actively in combat with you, and can see you, you can easily surrender no matter what you did.

How to surrender:

You can holster your weapon or you can use the added 'surrender' item to force the guards to accept your surrender. They will immediately pursue you for arrest.

You can power down all weapons systems to trigger a surrender. If successful a guard ship will hail you for arrest.

It is best to use the vanilla surrender methods if they are available to you and then fall back on the mod if those fail. On land holstering will trigger the vanilla surrender first if available otherwise the mod will take over. In space powering down weapons can be far faster than trying to find the right ship to hail while you are being blown to bits. Also vanilla hailing often fails if you get hit while attempting it.

Requirements for a successful surrender:

The player can only surrender to guards (UC security, FC security, Neon security, Paradiso Security & UC/FC Guard ships)

The guards must be actively in combat with the player, conscious and able to detect the player.

There is a default cooldown of 30 seconds between enhanced surrenders (this can be changed in gameplay options).

You must have a bounty with the guards you are in combat with (possible in space to not have a bounty with them). If you do not have a bounty with the guards you are in combat with they will stop all fighting and let you on your way.
