Ever wanted to take over a hostile ship by hacking into its systems.

Hacking Computer Alphahttp://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=543770448
This mod adds a small and large ship hacking computer.

Hacking Computer:
Will attempt to hack 1 random enemy block a second
Success Depends on the number of computer componets a block has
Will not hack blocks that have been turned off

Common Problems:
Thrusters, Lights and some other blocks don't have ownership, and will not be hacked.
If you place the hacking block in creative, it will have no ownership and thus will not hack any blocks, you must take ownership of the hacking block.
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

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.

Known Issues:
The hacking block won't hack things on connected grids via rotors, pistons, connectors, etc. Merge blocks will work fine.

For now the mod uses the default programmable block models, though custom models are in the works.

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

This mod is in alpha, I do not recommend for serious servers until any possible bugs get ironed out and balance is played with.

You could put them around a planet base as a cool roaming sentry or have them transport supply between points

Space Engineer is like a mixture between Minecraft and Kerbal Space Program.

The main purpose of the game seems to be building a space fleet and fight/ally with the other factions. You build your ships piece by piece and the only know limit for the size of your ship is what you computer can handle.
