[OBSOLETE] Ship Raiding Pirate Virus

Description
This is a particularly nasty virus. Its intended use is to stop a ship in its tracks and disable all critical functions, enabling attackers to capture it with extreme ease. For maximum usefulness it should be looped with a timer (effectively permanently disabling the ship), however running once still produces the desired (but not permanent) effect.

IMPORTANT: Unlike the popular Shi'ido virus, the focus of this one is to disable the targeted ship for capture. The other one renders it so messed up you may as well just scrap it.

If for some reason it can't affect the enemy-owned blocks (I think it won't, Keen fixed that), use a Sensor to trigger it when it detects a player, then transfer all the blocks you placed to the enemy and trigger it via flying in front of the sensor. This way it will be sure to produce the desired effect.

Features:
* Open all doors
* Turn off turrets
* Deactivate warhead countdowns and toggle safety (safety toggle is only useful in a fast loop)
* Disable gyroscope and thruster control
* Enable inertial dampeners

If you have any questions or would like to see any features added to this virus, please let me know in the comments.

@mahtrok I didn't, this script is over a year old :P I stopped updating it after the PB changes.

How did you get over the recompile Problem once you change the ownership to Space Pirates? Don't think a pirate will do that for you... So wonder if you found a Solution on that...

can you show a video with this in action? I am having some trouble on attempting to get this working.

would you have to manually upload this to a target programmable block? or what?

I take it this doesn't work in pvp? Because you cant set ownership of a sensor and programming block to an enemy...

It'd too bad a drone or something couldn't be attached to a ship with this, and then activate/place the block on the enemy ship - the only way I can even think of that working is a merge block, or MAYBE a connector.
