I had a FOTR mod that works for 1.4 but 1.5 has changed so much of boarding that I haven't made any headway for finding what has changed and how to make the awarding of boarded ships happen is where things stand currently.

I assume that the answer is no, but can this be used with Fall of the Republic as well on account of both mods being "related" or would I have to change the files there myself?

If you want even more fun, go through the relevant Unit XMLs and make previously unboardable ships boardable.

It's not particularly hard. For the ships you want to make boardable:

Add "Boardable" under the "<Property_Flags> </Property_Flags>" parameter so that it looks like this: "<Property_Flags> Boardable </Property_Flags>"

Then to make the ship say that it's boardable in game, go to the "<Encyclopedia_Text> </Encyclopedia_Text>" parameters and add "TEXT_TOOLTIP_CAPABILITY_BOARDABLE"

It's save game compatible too!

Since I last commented I did some testing and I can now confirm this mod doesn't fully work with Legitimacy Manager. The mod must edit a file connected to the shuttles as all the Warlord factions fail to get the shuttles, but the factions that do receive them or already had them the discount and performance increases are there.

So If you grab this mod and also use Legitimacy Manger you'll have to accept some factions won't get it or only use one of the mods at a time if wanting a certain warlord to gain the shuttles.



Side note, thanks for this fun mod OP not counting my own modding conflicts the mod runs great and makes running around the galaxy stealing a fleet doable and enjoyable.

check mod load order. this mod is not supported with any other mods that change boarding shuttles

Is this mod not compatible with Legitimacy Manager? Swear I had a playthrough were both worked but now everytime I load up the game with both mods active, the shuttles will not appear for anyone but the Empire?

oh shit i didnt think of that, thank you

It’s likely in the main thrawns a revenge mod not this one as this is just focused on boating shuttles not making more units board able

im not seing in the units xml where to add the tags to dreadnoughts?

hmmm very good mod time to camping with csa

Yeah, I went through and enabled boarding on all dreadnaught-class/non-SSD ships. Super easy. Add the boardable tag in the encyclopedia tag and property flag brackets like so:

<Encyclopedia_Text> TEXT_TOOLTIP_CAPABILITY_BOARDABLE </Encyclopedia_Text>
<Property_Flags> Boardable </Property_Flags>


Hilarious capturing Lucrehulks and Praetors.

I really do want to thank you for this mod. Stealing ships from other factions and building custom fleets is my favorite part of Thrawn's Revenge. I actually stopped playing the mod a few years ago when they disabled boarding for a few patches, because so much of the joy in playing it was gone. Happy that it's been back for a while. This mod now makes me want to play as factions other than NR! Like being CSA and camping Mon Cal to steal cruisers from NR.

You can go add the boardable tag to any ship in the game. its under the mod then data then xml then units and choose whatever faction/type of ship you want to be boardable.

I noticed that there is a submod for FotR that allows all ships to be boarded... any chance for a Thrawn's Revenge version??
I'd love it if ALL ships were boardable.
I don't know how it would be done... but I think it would make sense if like... to board an SSD, you would need 3 or 4 boarding ships to be within range and boarding to do it successfully.
But even if it's just the 1 ship to board an SSD, I'd still love a submod to make all TR ships (except heroes) boardable.

tho,for factions like the empire of the hand or the corprate sector authority,having these is like giving years of experince to a young hannibl or giving ants jelly

I have made a FOTR version and a Revans Revenge Version of this mod for those interested. Check the other workshop items under my user.

default is in the TR file path specified in the body. I know it is very low to the point where it just feels like luck to get them sometimes

also 10/10 goated mod @witerally throwing

yo I set local success to 40, 100 and I think its kinda the sweet spot I was wondering what it is by default TR settings

hey so stolen ships are they meant to not have fighters im playing empie of the hand and the ships i take dont spit out fighters

i dont have those files

Make one for FotR please-this is great for TR and I quite enjoy it

Very helpful mod to make a cool feature not useless

Oh, nice. I always thought the boarding shuttles were a cool mechanic, but they were always so impractical to actually use effectively.

I have changed the mod to be 1000 hp for shields and health. This can be changed to whatever you want per the description

great idea i love it, but why give it 50k health? feels like u made the ship much more realistic then made it god mode? any chance a re upload could be made with a more realistic health?

This works for the rebels as well.

why just the empire? why not every faction can have boarding ships?
