About this mod

Currently it is extremely hard to seize/capture a ship, because you have to kill its crew without destroying its hull. This mod simply replaces the victory through sinking your enemy with the seizing/capture event. You now always have the option to decide, if you want to sink the ship or take control over it.

Currently it is extremely hard to seize/capture a ship, because you have to kill its crew without destroying its hull. This mod simply replaces the victory through sinking your enemy with the seizing/capture event. You now always have the option to decide, if you want to sink the ship or take control over it.


Things to consider:
  • This doesn't work for zubmarines and the Alcaeus-class vessel, because they don't have seizing events in the original game.
  • Seizing requires for you to sacrifice a part of your crew to bring the concquered vessel back to London (if you defeated a pirate ship) or to Gaider's Mourn (if you defeated a neutral ship).
  • It is a matter of luck, if you succeed, because your crew might decide to simply vanish with the ship instead of selling it in your name.

I changed the amount of money you receive for each ship depending on the amount of crewmen you need to take control over it. My intention was to make seizing more worthwhile, but I think I got a little carried away, because it currently is somewhat overpowered. Nevertheless, I'm sure you might still enjoy it.


Installation
Go to the game folder in your AppData. The path is usually 'C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\LocalLow\Failbetter Games\Sunless Sea\addon'. Place the Job Of A Pirate folder (the one containing 'entities') in 'addon'.
