Can I somehow get more ships after battle to be captured?
« on: December 16, 2015, 05:22:06 PM »
My first play ever of Starsector was modded with SS+ and Nexerelin on 0.65.2 and a handful of factions along with them. I have absolutely no idea if in Vanilla too the captured ships after battles were a lot, or it was maybe SS+ doing that.

Neither in my vanilla play ,or my modded play on 0.7.1 I got many ships to capture, which made me end up buying my capital ships and a couple more. In 0.65.2 I literally would be like "Oh another Onslaught. Meh!" and just shoot it dead.

I do not want to capture more ships to make money out of it, or to avoid paying to buy my ships. Making money feels as easy as trading a handful of thousands cargo  from really cheap price to really high price. But I find it more fun for me to capture random ships and even use some that I normally would not buy by myself, ending up testing ships I normally would not.

If there is a % chance, I would love to change it to what it was in 0.65.2 modded play I had for sure.

/starsectore-core/data/config/settings.json

ctrl-f and find boardingChance

i believe that to be the right setting.

Yeah .7 nerfed the capture rate down to 5% (from 20%)
If you want to change it back, go to your settings.json file, (which is here: Fractal Softworks\Starsector\starsector-core\data\config) open with notepad and look for the line: "boardingChance" and set it to .2 which was .65.2's setting
Damnit, ninja'ed...

Just be sure to stay on a scale between 0 and 1 or else you could crash the game

Actually I am glad you told me about the 0.2. I feel the one on 0.65.2 was quite frequent and nice. Any more would make it way too easy and less enjoyable when you get a good ship to capture. Thank you :)
