Subset Games Forum

Hello all,

I'm not an experienced modder so I look for some advice. And to find out if my idea is doable.

I like the tactic to destroy the CO2 system and create a breach so the crew on the enemy's ship suffocates.
Is it possible to create a system or subsystem to hack enemy ships system or subsystem and open their doors to speed up that process?

Kind regards?

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I don't think it's possible to tamper with enemy ship controls. I don't think it's possible to shutdown one of their systems either, but that may be possible since it can be done to the player's ship, and enemies can be affected by ion storms.

We could modify a few events to allow you to shut off the enemy's O2 under certain circumstances. It'd be quite fiddly (and also overpowered) to be able to do it every encounter though.

We could create a bomb weapon, like the ion bomb, but designed for use on O2. Perhaps just a Breach Bomb plus an Ion Bomb would do you, though. (We could create a quicker/cheaper Breach Bomb easily enough.)

(You might like to check out the Stasis Bomb on the Arbiter in my Starcraft mod. That ionises a system for 3 ion damage and also gives it the crystal lockdown barrier to stop crew getting in/out. Could go well with the breach bomb or similar: fire it into whatever room the breach is in when the crew come in there to repair it, especially if that's the O2 room so you're ionising the O2 generator at the same time.)

I'm not aware of any way to open the enemies' doors given what tools we have, sadly.
