Introduction
Capturing NPC grids can be an exercise in frustration - having to grind down all the terminal blocks and reweld them to take ownership. Now there's an easier way!
This mod adds a new way to take control of NPC grids.
Huge thanks to Ensou for coming up with the idea!
How to Capture NPC Grids
This mod will only affect grids that have blocks that are owned by an NPC faction (SPRT, SPID, etc).
To capture an NPC grid, you will need to hack/capture all 'Ship Controller' blocks. These Include:
- Cockpits
- Control Stations
- Flight Seats
- Cryo Chambers
- Remote Control Blocks
A few seconds after you've captured all these blocks, the grid ownership will be reassigned to you.
Please note, if you're working with a team/faction to capture a ship, the controller blocks must still be assigned to a single owner.
Retirement
With this mod in retirement, it will no longer be maintained. It won't be removed unless/until it becomes completely non-functional.
