📋 About This Mod
This mod adds a comm/context menu option to ask pilot of allied faction to cease firing at player's current boarding target.
This option is available on NPC pilots that attacked a boarding target after the boarding started.
Also, NPC pilot can refuse when:
-
[]player's relation with NPC pilot's faction is lower than 10;
[
]more than 1/3 of boarding target turrets are operational;Moreover, there is small delay between asking pilot and his/her decision to cease fire and fly away.
This delay (max 10s) depends on relations, so higher the relation - smaller the delay.
There will be notification when pilot makes his/her decision and a small entry in a logbook.
In case of the positive response - all of faction's military ships within 15km range will cease fire.
From version 2. 00 also works OOS/Low Attention.
When NPC ship is in comm range (aprox. 40km) - communication with pilot is done via a comm option.
Otherwise via context menu option.
This mod is save compatible.
Requires SirNuke's Mod Support APIs https://www.nexusmods.com/x4foundations/mods/503

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 435 endorsements and over 22k downloads.
- Solves a real frustration by letting you stop friendly fire during boarding ops.
- Works both in-sector and OOS, so it's useful regardless of where you are.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires SirNuke's Mod Support APIs, so you need an extra dependency.
- Pilots can refuse, which might leave you in a sticky situation if relations are low.
- Compatibility with other mods that alter comm menus or boarding behavior is a risk.
For X4 players who board ships regularly and get annoyed when allied NPCs keep shooting the target. If you're a trader or miner who never boards, you can skip this. It's a quality-of-life mod for combat-focused players.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have SirNuke's Mod Support APIs installed first, or the mod won't work.
- If you use the Extended Conversation Menu mod, check compatibility—this mod is designed to work with it.
- Test the mod in a save where you have decent faction relations to see the full effect.
