Hack the station's own turrets in Species: Unknown

A hostile space station is considerably less frightening when you can persuade its defenses to work for you. RomulusSenior's Hecate SHS adds a purchasable shuttle upgrade to Species: Unknown, giving players a surveillance terminal that can scan for sentry guns, watch camera feeds, and attempt to seize control of the station's weapons. Successfully taking over a turret can turn a dangerous corridor into an opportunity.

Naturally, breaking into the system carries consequences. Hacking involves small breach challenges, and repeated failures can turn guns hostile or trigger a wider station lockdown. The system also shares information and control states across cooperative players, although the creator's testing has primarily covered two-person sessions. It requires UE4SS and the game's specific signatures, making it an involved addition rather than a simple interface toggle.
