[AL PLUGIN] Kha'ak Capture Plugin (KCP) | v1.01 | 8 Nov 06

[Serial Kicked]

==============================
KCP: Kha'ak Capture Plugin
==============================


Description

• This small plugin allows the player to capture Kha'ak fighters the same way as other ships. Simply install the XSP (or .rar file), go into your "Artificial Life" menu to enable KCP and you're ready to go capping
  
  KCP is not intended to make capture easier. The plugin try to mimick the capture conditions of X3. You'll need to bring the shields down and to do some hull damages before the ship may be captured. Some fighters will never bail. The more hull damage the Khaak ship takes, the less likely you are to find equipements onboard. You won't need to claim the captured ships. They will be set to your ownership automatically. It can't be changed as it's a game engine limitation.
  
  Only Khaak M3, M4 and M5 can be captured.

Compatibility:

• This plugin should be compatible with any other mod or script, as far as i'm aware of. However some khaak ships created by 3rd party scripts like Kha'ak Invasions may not be capturable. Untested.

Downloads: (third party distribution not allowed)

• Download ZIP archive

Enjoy !

Anyone know of a script that can be used to capture Khaak ships of any class???

Thanks

Actually looking at the list of topic on this very first page may help
(won't allow capping of M1 and M2, though).

[Jakson101]

So I installed to script last night but it doesn't seem to work. I took out 3 clusters and not one empty ship. Use my APBE aswell so they should have. Any way to tell if the script is installed properly and working fine??..

Thanks

[can someone move this topic where it should be? thanks] [Merged - Cycrow] [Thanks ^^]

If the script activated in your Artificial Life settings (set to TRUE), there's no reason why it shouldn't work. Here's the capture rules, i think it'll help you a lot

Spoiler

Show

- Only 20% of the ships have a chance to be captured
- The shield must be below 2%, the hull must be below 90%
- When both conditions are met each shoot that hit the hull has 5% chance to make the khaak bail.

When a ship is captured
- If the hull is below 50% no equipement will be found
- If the hull is below 75% there's a small chance to find some equipements
- If the hull is between 75-90% there's a small chance to find intact equipements

I hope this help.


Edit : Version 1.01 is out and should correct the uncappable fighters from decoupled clusters.

[Serial Kicked]

1.01 out.

It corrects a few bugs that i've not noticed in 1.00. Khaak ships from exploded clusters should now be cappable like the others. And captured ships can now apply Friend/Foe settings like any other player owned ship.

Disable / Enable the plugin in the "Artificial Life settings" to update the script once installed.


Enjoy.

With 2.0.02 you can capture the Kha'ak on normal ways.

Is this correct ? does 2.0.02 let you capture khaak ships without this script ?

[Mazer]

Is this correct ? does 2.0.02 let you capture khaak ships without this script ?

since 2.0.02 i have captured many Kha'ak ships and i am not running any scripts or mods that would allow me to. so yea i would think that it does let you cap Kha'ak ships without the need for scripts.

[BrigandPhantos]

Maybe I am just unlikely, but I haven't capped any in this version Mazer. I'd tried the usual tactics, dropping hull to about 70%, nailing the victim with Ion D's repeatedly, letting it recharge shields, hitting it again, and even swapping in a lethal weapon with my Ion D to give the added effect that I am going to kill it, which does seem to have a high success rate when I cap pirates.

I still haven't capped any Kha'ak, M5 or otherwise.

[Heretic666]

It's more about luck than anything else. Just keep trying. Don't worry, you'll cap one eventually. At 10% hull. And be able to watch your last few stray shots destroy it.



Like I said...Luck...

The download links aren't working for me.

[colmcorbec]

i think i had 1 bail but crashed into it so wasnt to sure

[bp2019]

Kha'ak have been capturable since 2.002, possibly even 1.4 so having this script is not necessary.

Kha'ak bail MUCH more in their own sectors, however getting them OUT would be problematic.

Just stay patient and you will get one eventually. Personally since kha'ak ships have no rear turret, and much less shielding/speed compared to M3+ ships they are not as good a choice as they were previously.

Still, if you want one, then just be patient and one will bail eventually.
