Hacking Computer v3 (Obsolete)

Use this version Hacking Computer 3.0 - Industrial Update Fix 1.199 until this is updated, thanks!

This mod adds small and large ship hacking computers. It is a replacement for an earlier version of the mod. With new models and effects (a big thank you to NukeGuard for providing the models).

To use the hacking computer, simply build it on a grid you wish to take over and the hacking computer will do the rest.

Hacking Computer:
-> Will attempt to hack 1 random enemy block a second.
-> Success Depends on the number of computer components the enemy block has.
-> Will not hack blocks that have been turned off.
-> Red means the hacking computer is not functioning; Flashing means the block is working; Red orange flashes are failed attempts, Green flashes are successful attempts; Solid Cyan means you have completely taken over the grid.

Firewall:
-> Forces any enemy hacking computer to target the firewall block.
-> Has 2000 computers and is very difficult to hack.
-> The firewall block is a block only for large grids.
-> Flashes when successfully blocking attempts. Blinks faster the more attempts made.

Common Problems:
-> Many pirate ships and cargo ships will turn on and off their programming blocks, timers and antennas. Blocks which have been turned off can not be hacked. **This is intentional.**

Anwsers Common Questions:
-> Yes, you can use the hacking block to prevent hacking, it will take ownership of anything people hack on your ship.
-> Yes, hacking blocks will hack other hacking blocks, and those blocks will then work for you. I've even tested 100 hacking blocks vs. 100 hacking blocks, it works as expected.
-> Yes, building more computers will let you hack faster.
-> Yes, the hacking block must be built on a grid you wish to hack.

Please give feedback on your opinion of balance and possible changes you think might improve the mod.
