📋 About This Mod
Description
-
[]In the vanilla game, in order to add a captured ship to your fleet, you need to make it your home ship. This is annoying because:
[
]Your crew moves over. If your new ship has a smaller crew capacity than your old ship, some of them might even leave.[]Your old ship undocks with the new one and starts leaving, so you need to dock with your old ship to get back.
[]After you get back to your old ship, you need to manually assign it as your home ship again.
[]You can also make a ship your home ship, and thus add it to your fleet, by flying away in the new ship, which is what the in-game tutorial tells you to do. This is even worse, as you'd lose track of your old ship until you get to a spaceport.
[]Or optionally not add it to your fleet when you sit down. It is a dialog box with "yes" and "no".
[]ESM built with xEdit.
[]There are no file or form conflicts. Any possible conflict is purely behavioral, which currently doesn't exist as far as I know. You can also just like test it out.
Installation/Uninstallation/Update
- []Install with mod manager such as MO2 or Vortex., or dump everything into data.
- Install/Update/Uninstall whenever. It doesn't matter.
