Carrier Warp
Compatible with 7.0
This mod is one component of my bigger project Station Combat Rebalance (SCR) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3176807112, but is independent of the latter.
When targeting large and slow enemies (slow L/XL ships and stations), carrier will attempt to warp direct subordinate S fighters to the vicinity of said target. When the target is far-away but is itself not qualified as a warp destination, carrier will then attempt to warp S fighters to any large objects near that target. If warp not possible, ships will then be sent out normally.
* The warp capabilities are determined by ship hull and described in the corresponding ship encyclopedia entry.
– Only direct S subordinates that are currently docked on the carrier can be warped.
– Ships are first retrieved to external docks for them to be warped.
– Carriers will attempt to warp rescue S subordinates with low HP.
* Players can also make use of this warp function through a dialog system when piloting carriers themselves. For compatibility reasons, players can ONLY command subordinate groups that are set to the Docked (inactive) state in this option.
– Dialog is automatically activated when player takes control of the ship. Dialog can be reactivated anytime during
piloting the ship by switching between different view cameras.
– Target is the currently selected player target.
– The "Warp to …" options warp specified subordinates to player target. This will NOT create attack order
automatically. Neutral or friendly targets allowed.
– The "Attack …" options orders standby subordinates to attack player target. This will NOT warp automatically.
– The "Retrieve …" option let the player emergency warp selected S subordinate back to the carrier.
* Players can also make use of the warp function as an S fighter pilot.
– When piloting an S fighter and docked on an owned/allied carrier, Comm the carrier or right click the carrier on map to have the carrier warp player ship to the player’s target.
– When piloting an S fighter and being in warp range of an owned/allied carrier, Comm the carrier or right click the carrier on map to have the carrier warp rescue player ship.
