Introduction
When you command a ship to board a target, it will boost to the position no matter what.
With this mod, it will use Travel Drive if it's too far away from the target.
Details
With this mod, the ship with board command will consider the distance between its current position and the target's position. If the distance is larger than 10km, it will use travel drive. If the distance is smaller than 3km, it will boost. Otherwise (3-10km), it will just move there. The 10km threshold is set to be consistent with DeadAir AI Tweaks.
Like any other VTF, this mod may be obsolete in the future build.
Improvements
One of the improvements I can think of is doing a shield check along with distance check. For example, the ship can only boost if its shield percentage is > 90% and the distance is < 3km. However, I do think the checks should be as few as possible in favor of simple codes and better performance. Need more play-testing.
Installation
Put the mod in /X4 Foundations/extensions
Uninstallation
Just remove the mod.
