Better Capture

Compatibility

- 8. 00 - tested - working with 800. 02 mod version

- NOT compatibile with Better Piracy, True Capture and other bail mechanics mods, use only one of them at a time

- save friendly

Please keep in mind I'm not good at scripting languages, I will keep it alive as long as I can, but when Egosoft drops update that changes some code I may not be able to update this mod.

Description

This quite simple mod changes piracy a bit - bailing crew and pilots behave quite like in vxTrueCapture mod. Since it stopped working for me in 7. 0 I decided to make new version.

• []Bailing pilots DO NOT destroy cargo (if there is any left on board, it took some time to test it... Poor Split captain thought he can drop and go too many times) (Now since 800. 01 its customizable - checkbox in Extension Options - Better Capture).

• []Bailing pilots DO NOT damage hull (customizable - checkbox in Extension Options - Better Capture).

• []Bailing pilots DO NOT destroy components (weapons, turrets, shields) (customizable - checkbox in Extension Options - Better Capture).

• []Claiming marines DO NOT damage hull / destroy components (this one is permanent - after all player hacks ship, why marines don't... ).

• []Claiming marines DO NOT repair ship (EDIT: They never did?... no code for that in move.claim.xml that is used here).

• []Vanilla bail chance and mechanics.

• []SirNukes Mod Support APIs allows to turn ON/OFF (with checkboxes) hull damage, destroying components and destroying cargo in Extension Options - Better Capture - by default unchecked = vanilla behavior.

  []Mod settings are saved with game save, so new game = defaults, load game save = settings from game save

• []first and foremost, this mod DOES NOT change bailing logic, chance, mechanics, ship size penalty etc.

• []this mod DOES NOT add harass options like Better Piracy
