Ship Command Certification Challenge Fix

Description

• []Ship Command certification doesn't work on ships you take over or steal. It only works on ships purchased by you or given to you.

  []This is because the game double decrements the "SpaceShipCrew" actor value on enemy ships you board:

  []"SpaceShipCrew" is decremented when you kill the crew.

  []"SpaceShipCrew" is decremented when you take over the ship by sitting on the pilot seat.

• []Its "SpaceShipCrew" actor value would start at 6.

  []When you kill the crew, "SpaceShipCrew" would decrement to 0.

  []When you sit down on the pilot seat, "SpaceShipCrew" would decrement to -6.

  []Finally, when you make the ship your home ship, and your crew of 5 takes over, "SpaceShipCrew" would increment to -1: which is an incorrect value.

  []Because the game never recalculates the "SpaceShipCrew" actor value from the actual source of truth - the actual crew count, this value remains incorrect forever, preventing you from completing the skill challenge with this ship.

  [](The above sequence has been confirmed in testing)

• []Fix implemented in sq_playershipscript.

  []Script only.

  []No plugin.

  []Will fix this bug for any perk mod that attempts to use this challenge type as well.

  []If you load a save with you onboard the ship, just board it again to apply the fix.

Installation/Uninstallation/Update

• []Use a mod manager such as MO2 or Vortex.

• Whenever. It doesn't matter when.

FAQ

Q: Does this fix xyz?

A: Just read the mod description. It tells you what is included in the mod.

Q: How do I install this manually?

A: Dump everything in data from the archive into the data folder. Make sure you do a bunch of INI edits and disable "my games". Don't ask me how to do this: I just used MO2, and it did everything for me via the magic of computer software. I did not use my brain.

Q: Can I have 2 files in the same folder with the same file name affect the game at the same time?

Q: Are mod managers a conspiracy by the world government to implant microchips into our water supply in order to turn frogs into Bill Gates?

Q: I hate Bethesda, Todd Howard, Nexusmods, Vortex etc etc.

A: Alright, but complain to me about it in this comments section.
