"Ye shall boardde, ye scurvy dogs!"

X:Rebirth mod that adds docking bays to the Xenon I and K and allows you to capture them.
Author: Atrocious
Version 1.02
On Egosoft forums[forum.egosoft.com]

Features:
# Adds docking bays to Xenon K and I *
# Adds drone bays to Xenon K and I * **
# Adds shield generators to protect Xenon I's drone bay *
# Gives internal defenses to Xenon K and I *
# Adds two jumpdrives to Xenon I *

Update 1.01:
# Changes the boarding routine to remove defending marines on successful boarding ***
Update 1.02:
# Adds a second drone bay to Xenon I and moves the first one the the back of the ship *

# Adds shield protection to jump drives *
# Adds turrets to defend the bow jumpdrive of Xenon I *
# Adds a much needed fuel bay to Xenon I *
# Adds a universal cargo bay to Xenon I *

Todo:
- Xenon I sells too cheap. Unfortunately changing the price-tag is not as easy as one would think. Need more investigation for this.

ALL FEATURES ARE ONLY AVAILABLE ON NEWLY SPAWNED SHIPS:

* You'll have to destroy some of the existing Xenon K and I before the new ones spawn. If you see a docking symbol on a Xenon K or I, it will be a newly spawned ship.
Note: The docking bay on Xenon K is a bit hidden between the ship structure, look closely.

** Drone bays were necessary to make the internal defenses more challenging.
The game design requires to have a drone bay, to be able to add marines to the ship.

*** I use elite marines as internal defense for the Xenon ships. To get a proper rating for them, I had to change the boarding defense calculation a bit.
This should not affect other boarding operations because npc ships usually don't have marines on board.

NOTES
Xenon capital ships have serious internal defenses! You'll need a lot of elite and veteran soldiers.
If your boarding attempt failed and you think you have enough good soldiers, you may want to try another ship:
Boarding defenses also depend on the skill level of the defense commander, which is random and can vary a lot.

Balancing defenses wasn't easy, if you think the mod is unbalanced or needs tweaks, please comment on the linked thread[forum.egosoft.com].

MOD COMPATIBILITY
