x4-Better-piracy

X4 Foundations mod to improve piracy

Compatibility

Compatible with 3.x, with and without Split vendetta. Savegame friendly. (Both adding and removal)

Description

This mod addresses several piracy gameplay-aspects in X4 that I really dislike.

If you want to force some S/M ship to bail, right-click it, choose "Harass" and follow the instructions.

Detailed changes explanation

Replaced "Surrender!" dialog option by "Harass" contextual action.

Replaced the confusing and mostly random "Surrender!" dialog option by a more streamlined "Harass" contextual menu action.

If you want to force some S/M ship to bail, right-click it and choose "Harass".

That will start a quest, like the one for boarding L/XL ships, but targeted towards S/M ships.

Removed "Ship type penalty" from the bailing calculation

Before, you were heavily punished if you were flying a ship with a higher maxHull than the enemy you were harassing.

This has been removed.

Improved feedback when crew bails

If the crew is bailing out of the ship, a notification will appear of the lower-left corner detailing it.

Piracy is a crime!

By default, nobody cared about piracy, you could hijack 1000 ships in front of them and you will still be their best friend.

Now, piracy is a crime, and if you do it enough, people will consider you a criminal.

Removed extra damage done when claiming with marines

Your marines have been instructed to be as careful as you are when claiming ships, so they will no longer cause any extra damage to the ships they claim.
