Bail Logic

Fixed questionable logic of enemy ship salvage

The original logic of ship rescue included some, well-intentioned, odd decisions. I modified these to make more sense.

• Ships under fire will start bailing at 75% hull integrity. This has been changed to 50%.
• Severe penalty for flying hulls having their maximum hull higher than the target. This has been corrected to penalize you for using smaller ships, but I might just remove it entirely. Even within the same class, fines can be steep.
• Completely removed logic that would cause random damage or destruction to a ship when a pilot bails. With fast-firing weapons like transoms (or models that increase the fire rate of everything), this can make it impossible to successfully capture a protected ship, since you'd just have to blow it up immediately.
• This does not affect pilots of L or XL ships; only S and M class ships can be forced to bail. L and XL must board.

Just delete the fixbailchance folder

Notice

You can easily change the bail threshold and baseline bail chances in the Notifications.xml file. For thresholds, you only need to change these two values:

$ target.shieldpercentage lt 20

$ target.hullpercentage lt 50

For base bail chance, you just change the "46" in this line:

<set_value name =“$ ejectchance”exact =“（（46 -......

This is a percentage value, so 80% would give the target an unmodified chance of 80%. Values ​​over 100 do work, a value of 1000 will more or less guarantee all bails even if you are flying the smallest ship and die. Also note that a >= 100% chance of bailing does not guarantee that the pilot will bail; if you can bail while the remaining crew is available (unlikely, but possible, especially if using modules to increase the crew, since only 3 people can bail at a time), the pilot will disembark with the ship.
