Ability to intercept

[Kurn]

Hello,

I have two questions:

1. Is it possible to edit the intercept order so the ship will intercept ships even out of the territory? That would be very cool.

2. Is it possible to edit the intercept order so command cruisers and strike cruisers can intercept?
I know all AI ships can intercept.
It makes no sense that the player can't use them alone to intercept.

Not sure it will work, but you might try:

Code: Select all

sub_46A160 calculate_Intercept

0046A1B4   jz   short no_sector_claim_ -> nop
0x695B4 -> 74 D1 -> 90 90

Is it possible to edit the intercept order so command cruisers and strike cruisers can intercept?

Try:

Code: Select all

sub_4485D8 SetTaskForceAbilities -> jump table off_4485B0

0x479BC AND 0x479C0 -> CE -> CA

I know all AI ships can intercept.

Are you sure? Code looks as if AI colony and TT cannot alone.

It works! Thank you SCT!

You're right. I meant all warships.

Not working. Maybe AI would have problems with that anyway.
