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 crew DO NOT damage hull. (customizable in Extension Options)
- Bailing crew DO NOT destroy components (weapons, turrets, shields) and deployables (satellites, laser towers etc). (customizable in Extension Options)
- Claiming marines DO NOT further damage ship.
- Claiming marines DO NOT repair ship.
- Some cargo IS LOST when pilot bails (I am not good at modding, if You know how to change it, look at permissions).
- Vanilla bail chance and mechanics.
- SirNukes Mod Support APIs allows to turn on/off hull damage and destroying component/deployables 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
- This mod IS NOT replacement for Better Piracy, IT IS simpler alternative
Requirements:
- SirNukes Mod Support APIs https://www.nexusmods.com/x4foundations/mods/503
I use v1.88 along with kuertee's UI Extensions 7.1.01 for X4 7.10 beta1 compatibility, works better than v1.89 because right-click menu is working, I did not really find problems with it so far.
since v1.90 showed up I see no problems with right-click menu
Installation:
Extract folder BetterCapture to your X4 Foundations\extensions directory

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, 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
