Values
Yes No Allies
Default Value
Yes
PHost only!
Optional!

This option controls whether towed ships cooperate with their tower or whether they try to escape.

  • No. Ships do not cooperate. This is the default setting in PHost up to v4.0d.
  • Yes (default). Ships belonging to the same player will cooperate. If you set your warp-3 freighter to tow your ten-engine warp-9 battleship, the tow would normally fail unless you reset the battleship to warp-0. With this setting, the tow will work, which is what most people seem to expect.
  • Allies. Same as Yes, but ships who offered you ship level also cooperate.

See tow conflict resolution for details. This option does not affect whether the towed ship breaks free when the tower hits a mine or runs out of fuel.
