[2.3] No Boarding Penalty

Description
Removes the 'structural damages' penalty incurred from taking enemy ships; the penalty prevents passive repairs and highly reduces ship value (less resources returned). Now you can scrap the ships you take for full value, or fully repair using mechanics or repair turrets. No warranty, use at own risk. I revoke all rights to this file, use as you see fit.

Updated for 2.3
Warning: Needs testing. Use at your own risk

Huh, okay. Last I played I tended to repair the ships I captured, so perhaps it's just fixing the repair costs and not resources returned now?

Dunno if anyone has a save on hand which has boarders all set up (I don't), but a good test to confirm this would be:
1. Capture a ship
2. Put a 20x20 block on it
3. Put a 20x20 block on a normal un-captured ship.
4. Remove block from both and compare resources returned

Until this testing is done (by either a kind soul, or me when I get the chance):
This is what I'd recommend for normal users

Let the captured ship restore its own hull using engineers.
Discard blocks. (If necessary)
Click the repair button, or have it repaired for credits at a repair dock.
Delete it for resources. (Optional)

Heya I have been using this and trying to capture enemy ships.

And the other day I managed to get a ship that when I saved it in the saved designs menu to see it's value it said it was worth 30mil credits, 400k Iron, 1.5mil Xanion and 850k Ogonite.

And yet when I selected everything and deleted it I got not even 1mil credits from it. And a similarly reduced amount of materials.

The ship didn't have the structural damages penalty on it as this mod is meant to do. But I only got a fraction of what it was worth. Can you think of any reason why? I am searching through some other mods I run but I don't think anything else could be effecting it.

@Dominic Hello!
Boarded stations still go defunct (lose their functionality) and I don't think stations can benefit from repair turrets. Everything else mentioned in the description should still apply to stations as well.

Thank you for your comment.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to make this mod.

Do you know if this impacts boarding stations? I am looking for a mod that makes boarding stations actually worth it.

Thank you!
