Playership Drones v6: Core View Mod
Screenshot This mod lets the player buy and command a limited number of unmanned playership drones. The drones behave much like wingmen, with some differences. The player can also dock and swap ships with a drone, at which point the old ship becomes a drone. While the player is piloting the ship, he can upgrade it as he sees fit.

This mod overwrites the default playerships and Domina powers, and it adds actions to the abandoned ship dockscreen and several stations. See the readme for details.

Since all of the ship graphics cannot fit within a 5MB file, this was divided into three files: core and two expansions for ships. Core includes Commonwealth civilian ships.

I must say. You can rebuild a CSC wth one of thoses centauri mechanics.I thought centauri mechanics coudnt repair anything that advanced.

Ruh Roh, Shaggy. OnAnimate Crash on attempting to dock with a Teraton Nest in a Hurin Destroyer - and it killed the save game, too, with an undefined object reference if I try to resurrect.

Updated to 1.08k at 337 downloads. PSD6 has undergone many internal changes. To update, remove all old PSD files, download all PSD6 zip files, then install the new PSD files.

Playership Drones: Core is a library, and patching ships will be somewhat easier. PSD includes a Settings.xml file, and it should be easier to change ship limits and enable a couple cheats.

Can't ever dock back to my original ship after switching ship.

Is there some piece of code I need to put in my hero ship?

Is it just the mods I'm running (a lot) or does the 'sell docked ship' not work in 1.2? I got a ways into the game, finally got the ship I wanted rebuilt with a centauri Mechanic, but then couldn't sell my other vessel. No matter how low I armor/equip it no-one can afford to buy it!

Reuploaded at 768 downloads. Fixed a bug that, when selling a ship, used the worth of the playership instead of the ship to be sold. No restart required.

To Patupi: If your playership was equipped with expensive items, the aforementioned bug prevented you from selling any ship! This update should fix that. Thanks for finding the bug.

Request: Can we have noFriendlyFire for PSD ships? There's a huge issue with friendly fire when ships gate into a system and are in the same location --- I was almost fried by my Ranx DN equipped with an Ares Plasma Cannon.
