Can't capture enemy ships?

You can mod some stuff. Scripted events, certainly.

But we need the tools from CA to get the full McCoy.

There may be the issue of the Prize Crew.
In order to capture a ship, you need to have enough crew to spare that you can sail both the captured ship & the capturee back to port to get repaired & recrewed.

If it was a close battle, or to start with your ships aren't carrying all that much crew but you capture a ship with high manning needs, you might not have enough crew.

Not really. All the scripted events call for massive amounts of data we can't read.

For example, the scripts that give you the chance to get historical figures (of which there are HEAPS) are about 5 lines, just calling info from files we can't read.

ETW the least moddable TW yet lol.

Somehow I think CA intended to release tools to help but I think they are too bogged down with ETW to do much at moment. Maybe April

[pevergreen]

They will release tools, but yes, as of now its hard to mod. But so is every new engine. Remember, it hasnt even been out a week.

So wait....autocalc gives you captured ships?

How does that work?
