I just successfully boarded a XL Solar Plant in a border system with 5 marines, 3-star Hack/Mech, 2-star Eng and 3-4 star in Fighting. It went off without a hitch, and no casualties. Is this normal? Or was I just very lucky? Just seems I got it a bit too cheap

But....then again, 5 well enough experienced Marines may be more than a match for station security. Even though my Marines were Boron

Boron marines? Squid with attitude, there's a new one.

I've added Boron marines to their Military Outposts. Using them is so funny! I'm having a lot of fun

One fun thing though, I was on a rather negative term with the Argons and got a tempting offer to build an Argon Low-Yield Sidearms factory which I could not refuse. Also knowing that seeding too many AI factories may cause problems for the general supply, I decided to "relocate" one

I went to Ore Belt, boarded that station and used the station-repacker script to load it onto my Mammoth. Jumped to destination, mission successful

I wish there was more development on this script, as difficulty could very well be increased in some situations and more fine tuned. After you get 3-star marines you can pretty much take over most stations with 0-1 losses. But, it is fun if you can restrain yourself

i dont know if anyone has touched on this i skimed the post but didn's could have missed somthing. so if it has been said alredy forgive my lazyness. now on to the point!

i capped a a solar plant intending to load it into my tl to haul it away. loaded its crystals into a transport and to my astonishment it keep right on producing. upon fruther reaserch i discovered why. on npc owned stations crystals are a secondary resource. so are not realy needed.

i dont know how hard it would to swap out the plant upon capture but in order to avoid players having these "specal" npc only stations i think it maby should be addressed

if not ima have to tweek the station repacker to deal with it

Since you run modified anyhow, just write a simple two-line script. Remove secondary resource Crystal and add primary resource Crystal.

Mission accomplished.

Alright I'm a little confused. I have system override software installed on my tp but I still can't capture a hostile station. Game tells me I don't have system override software installed. Any suggestions or solutions?

i had the same problem so i changed the required ware

I think I missed a spot for were it listed the required wares. I found one in the board.station.pl file and changed it but I'm still having no luck getting this to work on an enemy station. Any suggestions would be great.

I was having the same problem with my Marine Dropships. Here is what worked for me.

I had installed a Software Signature Scrambler in each of my ships so they wouldn't be bothered by roaming police ships. When I ejected the sofware out of my ship, voila I was able to board enemy stations.

Not sure if this is an intended issue or an oversite but try it.

This is because installing the Software Signature Scrambler actually changes the ware of the System Override Software to another ware with the same name, which does the same thing, but is legal. When you eject the SSS, the ware of the SOS is reverted to other version.

Only way around is to modify the script to accept both version of the SOS.

Great script, uberex, adds a lot of immersion. The only problem is that it's too easy. Stations should be much harder to board, is there any variable I can change to make it harder?

I, for one, like the voiceover of the Teladi marines. Nothing makes my day like hearing "Commencing Presssssurizzzzation!". This script is a mighty fine idea, downloading now. How many marines can/should I insert into a station? Do I need to keep its shields down like with a ship?

Anyone had luck getting this to work with AP?

sorry to revive this old thread but the System override software bug is happening for me except nether version of the software is working and i need help modifying the script cause i have absolutely no idea how to do that correctly.

also i tested taking friendly stations in AP and it works (havent tryed taking one that was hostile to me but i assume id get the same result as my TC attempt)

Odd bug. Trying to board station, then ship was hit with Ion Ds and the marines died. Ship docket with no marines but boarding commenced and station was taken. Magically all marines were resurrected and breathing fine in the ships hold when all was over.

I reckon this script is not being actively supported any more, but if anyone picks it up or the author returns I thought I'd let you know.

I'm using the xtra ship pack by Cadius and I'm having trouble using the boarding script on my M7 class longsword. Is there something I need to tweak in the script to add in the new ships to make them capable of boarding?

DrBullwinkle · Post by **DrBullwinkle** » Fri, 26. Oct 12, 23:27

M7's should be supported. They do not have to be vanilla ships.

You know that you cannot board a station from the player ship, right? You must command one of your other ships to do the boarding. That ship will need docking computer, marines, and system override software.
