Statement
- Blue Option (Basic System) -> Continue

- Blue Option (Specific Augment) -> Continue -> Damage

But for only the second option to appear, I'd have to forgo a system that is included on every ship in the game when it starts (excluding Piloting and Engines, as both are needed) except for the ship that I want to take damage. So either Weapons or Oxygen will have to go... I guess I could make an all-Lanius ship that has been improperly salvaged or something. Unless I'm forgetting something here.

<event name="{event name}">
   <text>{event text}</text>
   <choice req="{requirement}">
      <text>{choice text}</text>
      <event>
         {event stuff}
      </event>
   </choice>
</event>

Code: Select all

<event name="{event name}">
   <text>{event text}</text>
   <choice req="{requirement}">
      <text>{choice text}</text>
      <event>
         {event stuff}
      </event>
   </choice>
</event>

That is a forced blue option. If the requirement isn't met, the game will place a default continue option that will end the event since there are no other choices available.

This hidden thing prevents rewards and other various things from appearing on a choice, so you don't know the outcome before you select it. It does not make a choice not appear. Any ship with an engine would see the choice in this example.
