What does this mod do?

This mod does the same thing for the 'Shuttle Launcher' what 'Immersive Transporter' did for the 'Transporter'. It uses the walking animations of the crew leaving their stations and entering the turbolift and subsequently exiting it together with you, walking toward and seating yourself on the captains chair after disembarking is completed for increased immersion (for Galaxy and Sovereign based bridges). The supported bridges are: "Galaxy", "Sovereign", "Draxon" and "EBorg". Other bridges however also have some crew interactions, cutscenes and extra immersion. The whole sequence might take up to one minute so use 'Abandon Ship' in the XOs (Saffi) menu in case you need to abandon the ship immediately in an emergency.


Requirements:



Installation instructions:

  • Copy the contents of the 'Immersive Shuttle' folder to your Bridge Commander folder, overwrite if asked


Uninstallation instructions:

  • In case you want the original 'Shuttle Launcher' back you can either make a backup or you can download it from the miscellaneous files
  • Even if you did not like the mod you might want to keep the 'ShuttleRestart.py' file. This little piece of code corrects a tiny bug which caused the XO (Saffi) and the engineer (Brex) to stay muted if you have been in the Type 11 shuttle cockpit and then loaded a new bridge via the quick battle menu. Some bridges (like the Defiant) do not contain the code to unmute the crew in case it was muted.


How to use this mod:

There is no active usage. This mod only adds cutscenes, animations and crew interactions to the shuttle boarding and disembarking sequence for more immersion
