Fleet members claiming ships...

[Konaan]

If I have missed this, I sincerely apologize...

So, I am flying around with my Bomber, and wings of Discoverer Vanguards and Eclipse Vanguards and basically keeping a few sectors clean of riff raff and inveritably there are always a few people that decide to err on the side of caution and abandon their ships after a few rounds of hundreds of projectiles coming their way. I know how to claim ships myself whether it be with my spacesuit, or on-board marines, but eventually I run out of marines on my ships I need to know how to make my squad claim a ship. I keep marines on their ships too. Even if they "discover" an abandoned ship themselves, hitting claim hasn't worked yet.

So my question is: Is there a way to make ships, other than yours, claim a ship or has that not been implemented yet?

Behaviors tab on ship, can set to auto claim abandon ships, but your ships have to have at least one marine on board

There must also be a mod for it. There was one in Rebirth for that matter

You don´t need a mod.... it´s a core mechanic of the game.

Maybe I am just not giving enough time? I have my global options set to "claim if possible". When they discover the abandoned ships on their own, I click the option to claim it. I have yet to see them claim one and I usually end of flying over and doing it myself. I do keep marines on all ships.

When I am flying around with a fleet and we force a few pilots to leave their ships, I can't see any way to tell one of my squad members to go claim the ship since I am usually out of marines from all the ships I get. Again, I keep marines on all ships.
