Hijack!

Description
With this mod you can pull off a boarding operation without reputation loss, if you target an isolated ship and cripple its radar(s) before initiating boarding.

Conditions:
* No operational radar on the target
* No friendly ships within 20km with a functional radar
* No stations within 30km or the station's radar range (lower value used: same logic as with vanilla distress calls)

If this all checks out, the target's emergency protocols will commence: drone pad will be brought to a working state, and all available drones queued for repair will be equipped, increasing the ship's defence strength.
The crew will also get really mad at you, and wont forget easily - better succeed once started, as a failed attempt might leave you with a ship that will kill any of your assets on sight - and which might belong to an otherwise friendly faction.
Any further actions against it will result in reputation loss - the skunk can only jam the identification and comm signals while boarding is in progress and the radar of the target is defunct.

Selling hijacked ships to a shipyard friendly to the original owner will have some annoying consequences - the shipyard will turn on you for a while, and you will have to pay for the ship as well.
Every ship can only be hijacked once.

Anyway, yarr.

Sorry im not sure i can follow you.
Can you explain?

Can that make such a thing so that you can download it, Steam would like to have an update in Steam it will be displayed to me red ,,, I'm not a modder I do not understand, but I know how to install it, and that's enough for me too .

Im Steam wird es Rot angezeigt, also bitte mal Updaten Danke

@Invisihole: easy workaround is to kill the bay, less easy is to have an elite boarding team.
Also u can normally sell those ships to a shipyard as there are hostile SY owners in the game.
If you just want to gain money without bounds, why not hack some money in your save and skip the chores alltogether.

I like the functionality of being able to hijack a ship without major relation penalties, but why make it so unnecessarily complicated with the drone bay regen, assault drones and selling penalty? At least give us an option to lose these chores. They're nothing more than that. It doesn't balance it, it just loses time for the player.

Oh my i forgot to update ego forum... i contacted the author, and sorted that out long ago.
You won't see the comm supress messages, but all the important ones will be visible.
I could make it so that comm related messages are shown as well, but thought it's not that important to keep Boarding Option's info hidden for them.

Thanks anyway, i fixed OP on the forum - and sorry for the confusion.

Stndbye - thanks for the quick responses and the great mod!!!! (Definitely should be a regular feature that egosoft should add I think)

- ironically, i took out the "Boarding Operations" mod before installing yours because of the OP on the forums "Incompatibility: Boarding options " - you may want to change it.

Future visitors: this mod IS COMPATIBLE with Boarding Operations :-)

Cheers Mates! And happy hijacking!

Ops thats possible, sorry!
You cannot cancel it the same place, just my faulty memory made the UI better then it is..
The only vanilla way is to go to the mission menu and abort it there.

With boarding options mod you can start/cancel an op much more quickly. Not sure if its possible with marines on board or not, but thats not a concern when just checking hijack conditions.

Lol.... REALLY Stupid Follow up:
"here is an entry in the ship's radial menu saying stop boarding"
1) How do I bring up said radial menu?

- currently, F does not bring up the option to stop boarding for me.
-The only way I can stop the boarding process (as of now) is to bring up Active Missions (Enter-3) enter the "Boarding Mission" and then "Select Briefing" and then Cancel the Mission there... kind of tedious... (but I'm LOVING the mod as it is right now! - Just need a way to Quickly stop the boarding process) :)
