[HOWTO] Capping Kha'ak Cruiser Carrier even Guardian, using forum scripts (no cheat)

Post by esamimbias »

Hi,

this is a short how-to, explaining how I capped heavy Kha'ak ships using scripts provided by the community that are not "cheat scripts" (or not categorized as ... )

You'll need : The main facts you need to know are :
  • Kha'ak bail only works when you're OOS (Out Of Sector), if you're in the sector, the game hangs with looping sounds :evil:
  • When you jump directly in a sector you moved an object in, the games crashes :evil:
The hard part is to do nearly everything OOS.

So, let's go :
  • first you jump in one of the Kha'ak sectors
  • you choose your target (try first with a carrier)
  • target it, lower its shields to 5%
  • use the "Reposition Object" hotkey to move your target in your selected sector, 10-15 km away from your fleet (that's the "cheatiest" part :oops: ). ( To validate repositionning, use fire button or key )
  • save in-flight
  • jump out of Kha'ak sector (as a safety measure) in any sector except your selected sector
  • wait for your fleet to attack the Kha'ak ship until it bails (or is destructed, you'll need to reload your inflight save), keeping an eye through sector navigation
  • enter the sector (preferably using gates), that's why you may have wanted to jump to a neighbor sector.
  • cap the ship (eventually using the salvage script)
And then ...
Personnaly I repositionned the ships in my HQ's sector, docked it to my HQ, picked up the shields and the Gamma Kyons, and sent it to disassembling queue ...

I also capped a Guardian that now perfectly sit in the same sector (President's...) to guard the east jumpgate

I tweaked TShips, so the GKE now fits to my Heavy Centaur :oops:

P.S. Ask for details if it's unclear, as English is not my native language :roll:

I have yet to find a mod that allows that, I do not believe Kha'ak dock/undock as normal ships but are rather beamed on/off with scripted events? (unless I am completely off on that one)

Perhaps with the Beamdock mod?

Blast, why did I have to work today :P
