Default Re: Capturing ships?

sadly, i dont think we can mod an item to make ships bordable. boardabilty requires a flag to be set on the target ship, and your stuff can only effect what flags you've got on your own ship.

but that is a swanky idea. maybe the next patch will enable items that permit boarding. I can imagine a scripted item that disappears on use, that lets you capture a ship. you would have to carefully weigh what kind of ship to use it on, since it would be a one-shot-deal.

the prospect of boarding a yellow kawangi, or primordious's station (which i guess you would need a hyperdrive ship to move) is rather frightening.
