- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
Compatibility
- 7.50 - tested - working
- 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.
What this mod DOES NOT do
Requirements
Installation
Extract folder BetterCapture to your X4 Foundations\extensions directory
Credits and alternatives
Why I made it
When 7.0 dropped I wanted to start new Stranded game, but as a long time ssvx True Capture user I was sad it stopped working. I am not a modder and I do not know scripting languages (update: got a little better), but I know how to copy-paste basically xD I have found NomadicBits fork of Better Piracy mod by Alberto Rota that works with 7.0. Since Better Piracy have pretty much the same features and more, I just deleted unnecessary code in some needed files based on True Capture file structure, and then removed all other unnecessary folders and xmls. Changed description and thats it, it just works :)
Cheers and have fun

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)
- Bailing pilots DO NOT damage hull. (customizable in Extension Options)
- Bailing pilots DO NOT destroy components (weapons, turrets, shields) (customizable in Extension Options)
- Claiming marines DO NOT further damage ship.
- Claiming marines DO NOT repair ship.
- Vanilla bail chance and mechanics.
- SirNukes Mod Support APIs allows to turn ON/OFF hull damage and destroying components in Extension Options
What this mod DOES NOT do
- 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
- if You want both these options in Your game, download Better Piracy from Alberto Rota linked below, as well as NomadicBits fork of Better Piracy, and paste it in better_piracy folder for 7.0 compatibility (not sure about 7.50)
