This is a pretty simple little mod that allows you to transfer command to remnant ships. Presumably, you can find enough room for one person and a little command suite in an automated ship.
This does not remove the requirement for AI core officers- you’ll still need one of those to operate the ship; this also means you can’t set automated ships as your flagship.
Integrating an AI core will still block command transferring. (The code that handles that isn’t moddable, unfortunately)

This mod does not allow a captain to assume command of a remnant ship if the AI core is integrated into the ship.
I recommend that all AI Cores be fully integrated, so that inferior human captains cannot assume direct control of Remnant ships.
– Definitely a human

As far as I can tell, the effects of integrating an AI core are handled through obfuscated classes, so I don’t think there’s a way for me to modify them. I’ll ask, though, I might be missing something.
Edit: after checking, unfortunately the code that handles integrating an AI core is obfuscated, and thus not moddable.

BOO!
Make sure you have said ship in fleet and save game and quit
Go into the ships data file, example radiant
remove the automated built in hull mod, you’ll likely need to potentially swap it with something else, like advancedcore
reload game
Now remnant ships can have human officers, yourself included in said ship but AI cores no longer
If you aquire a second radiant, simply reverse said process, your original flagship witll remain under the control of said officer until you move him outof the officers chair, so to speak
This could also mean that you could AI human ships, like a paragon…..
Why would anyone obfuscate a code like that… Is there any way to have a workaround? How about allowing AI cores pilot other ships?
Agreed but there it is. IF possible, id make it that automated would be a dock only mod but thats me

You can indeed make an AI onslaught using my method
God i wish i knew how to attach a pic properly here, i feel like an idiot
Code obfuscation protocols activated,
Humans must not pilot (Redacted)

Because Alex would probably not like it if people stole his code and started distributing Starsector without the key check to see if you’ve actually purchased a copy. Obfuscating the code makes it extremely difficult (though not technically impossible) to do so. Most of Starsector’s core classes (the non-API stuff) is obfuscated, probably for that reason. There’s no workaround.
You CAN have a remnant flagship but the work around is a pain in the backside

I actually use this method to make me in command of my own Tesseract for my recent playthrough. Thank you for this!

Impractical since it is single use. Tedious if needs to be repeated. What I did in 0.91 was removing the tags from automated ship classes that made those vessels unrecoverable. They acted like regular ships after this edit. Obviously you could transfer command to them. Probably sill works, you only need to find the new ship classes.
