EnclaveCommander-NoFreeRide.esm
http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15462
Requires-Broken Steel
FOSE http://fose.silverlock.org/
Additional features such as the vertibird pilot selling rare and unusual items and a "hololetter of condolence " for the fallen make Enclave Commander better than ever, an a welcome option to the cap lush Wasteland Wanderer who cannot find enough ways to spend his booty.
This is a stand alone mod contains Enclave Commander 090 and Vertibird interior merged and features more "ingrained lore elements" such as achievements in certain quest stages to have access to Brotherhood, the Outcast or Reilly's Rangers. A stealth-suited mysterious spy has smuggled into your possessions the command radio...
Both an economic add-on and also a bugfix update to Enclave Commander .090 for people who had CTDs when fighting power suited NPCs with their Enclave Commander troops, your squad can be either the Enclave Prospect forces, Brotherhood, the Outcast or Reilly's Rangers.
This mod used as a base zhangweizheng3's excellent Enclave Commander 090 - Vertibird Interior. That file contains full Enclave Commander, which, has graciously given permission to merge into this Enclave Commander-no free Ride mod. If you wish to have ALL the services of Enclave Commander available right away, Enclave Professionals (no mixed uniforms /weapons like Enclave Trainee Prospects), and the American army download here:

Install:
drag / copy EnclaveCommander-NoFreeRide.esm to the data folder (may be C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3\Data)
insure checked in FOMM (Fallout Mod Manger)
Textures and meshes must also be placed in the data folder, (no files are actually overwritten unless you have a previous version).
PLAY.
Economic
Enclave Commander is one of the ULTIMATE in cheat mods. Continue calling in the troops or just keep blasting with airstrikes until the target folds.
"No free ride" means now you must PAY for many of the functions of Enclave Commander.
-- Calling in the troops costs 1000 bottle caps. If you "Return to base" any of the troops, you get back 150 of your caps. The idea here is to prevent a suicide mission for all your troops each time they are called out.
--Looting your dead troops for their wealth and possessions is no longer possible, they disappear if you try. This is to help prevent from getting rich off of your own peoples still smoking bodies.
--inventory access costs 25 caps, they don't want to lug your stuff around for free!!! You of course can steal all their stuff out of their inventories when into it, but that's not nice. Bear in mind if they die you do not have access to their inventory. Interestingly, remote control companions will allow you to RESURRECT your fallen:
http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=11444
And the above mod may be useful in further control of your troops. Not extensively tested, however.
The Vertibird pilot has alternate items for revive / resurrect
-- Calling in airstrikes now costs 100 caps each with Orbital strikes costing more (variable).
-- Since the Vertibird can be used as a home, footlocker, storage a nice bed with mint on the pillow etc, I thought it would be polite to tip the pilot on your way out the hatch--25 bottle caps.
The idea is to gouge into that horde of 6000+ bottle caps -- 21 toothed plastic backed stamped steel with and WHAT to spend them on? Enclave Commander NO Free Ride now GIVES you a reason to spend --on WAR!!! If used excessively, those 6000 bottle caps will become 600 but you'll feel less cheaty and proud of your accomplishments!!!.
When selecting troops, the Enclave Mercenaries are always available. Anxious for adventure and mayhem they slip away from their duties with whatever they can grab when hired to do a job. Their dress and weapons reflect how good Enclave base security was that day.
--To acquire Reilly's Ranger squads, don their combat armor when making a soldier selection from the Options menu.
--Brotherhood of Steel squads: insure a Telsa cannon is in the inventory.
--Outcast: complete their tasks, don their armor.
Adversarial Faction members have given a blood oath promise in the tradition of the Entrepreneur Warrior to set aside loyalties and differences in order to provide a needed service for prospective employers. This means your hired solders will even attack their own faction members while under your employ.
For more information, read the EnclaveCommanderORIGINAL ver090-readme.txt included in the archive. Since I only edited the Mod esm file and made changes, the bulk of the work is J3X's , and it is useful to peruse that readme file..
I'm sure smart rats will find a way to "game" the system and avoid paying the caps, but if you are going to do that, WHY download this mod? Just stay with vanilla Enclave Commander. While your at it, hit ~ then type "tgm" and then hit the "enter" key and ~ key again.
Otherwise, enjoy your exciting, yet, expensive option!!
Prisoners
The Prisoner module has been reworked removing 'additem" from NPC's (the slave collar) and the game no longer CTDs when interacting with power armor captives.
"Transport to prison area" has been removed because if the prisoners were to far away, they reverted to bad behavior, became invulnerable and a general nuisance.
Prisoners once captured can be :
--executed (you're just POL POT) Bad karma added
--given medicine, food, stuffs then released, may get some information, may not, good karma in any case.
--Interrogated--get information salable to "Headquarters" by "interrogating the prisoner. Interrogations may result in valuable information, the prisoner just may attempt escape, or you just may botch the questioning and get bad karma.
--Paw through prisoner belongings, but as part of the deal its prearranged you let them go afterwords. They will disappear into the wilderness, but occasionally one will linger, maybe they have something to tell you?
--Information snagged as the result of interrogations are placed on tape and put in your inventory. Call in the "vertibird transport," enter and use the computer there to transmit the interrogation information. Exit the terminal and you will be paid in bottle caps (yes the terminal is an ATM).
Other changes:
The Protectrons have been increased --level with player starting at 3 to make them more viable if they show up. Soldiers also level with player starting at 13. Formula may be adjusted in the GECK if it seems to low or high.
================
BUGs
References to the command key refer to the G key. You may choose to have it mapped differently.
This mod runs very stable now. In the original Enclave Commander 090 was getting CTDs every time I fought the Enclave outside with Enclave Commander NPCs of any type. Other people reported the same problem with fighting ANY of the power armor people. This mod also addresses that issue and the game is very stable. I have an Intel Quad Core and tested extensively and gotten NO CTDs in large battles ie 10 or so of my guys against 5-8 of theirs. (see errata below for more detail).
--Sometimes after interacting with the prisoner, they may not disappear from the game world as they should (largely corrected in 1.5). If you cannot select the NPC with the G key, this means the NPC was not deleted entirely by the game engine. They should vanish eventually. If you want the NPC to disappear right away, save the game and reload, the NPC should be gone. Do not interact otherwise with this NPC as the game may CTD.
--If you have some prisoners, and leave a cell, they may be gone if you return (they ESCAPED).
--avoid killing prisoners outside the Prisoner Interaction Menu. It is not known if they will respawn back with their former AI routine or still be non-hostile to the player because their AI package has not been properly reset. Though there is no harm in this you may have a situation where a normally hostile NPC is friendly to you and also to your enemies (ie an enclave scientist was non hostile to myself and still friendly to the enclave faction checkpoint I was attacking).
--J3X notes in his read me it is a bad idea to enter the vertibird with your solders set to follow you. I have done this on more than one occasion without incident the soldiers will not follow you in anyway). However, once I returned only to have NO SOLDIERS. To avoid this, before entering the vertibird, set the soldiers to wait else one may have to return to an earlier save to get them back.
--sometimes the G key will stop working. This is more than likely due to single clicking on an object with the G key and leaving the area. Since the game still remembers that action on the object, it is still selected and the G key will no longer work until you return to that object and press the G key on it the second time in order to cancel the action. If you cannot locate that object and forgot where it was: One can either:
1. reload back to an earlier save where it was working,
2. call the Vertibird transport:
a. get all your stuff out of the lockers if you have any there (or lose it otherwise),
b.Leave vertibird, save the game, exit
c.uncheck the mod Enclave Commander -no free.esm ride in FOMM),
d. load game, resave, quit then
e. check the mods Enclave Commander -no free ride.esm in FOMM,
Enclave Commander will reinitialize and the G key should work again.
--If you resurrect a troop or if they otherwise do not seem to be equipping their stuff, go into their inventory and then exit. This seems to "wake them up." Of course with this mod you spend 25 caps to do this but consider it a small bribe to get them motivated again.
==========================================
Release 1.5
--interrogation reward pyramid re-implemented with a chance to receive 1, 2 or 3 pieces of useful prisoner information. You can then take these and "sell" them to Headquarters.
--Camera requirement removed from Letter of Condolence (script was not always running properly, allowing players to loot their own solder). If you now attempt search of bodies of your fallen, the solder will disappear and the Letter of Condolence automatically added to your inventory (you created it with help from your Pipboy).
--Special effects of .prisoner disappearing due to "fast travel" causes the prisoner to actually disappear from the game without leaving a disabled but not entirely deleted "ghost" image behind.
--in some cases when a prisoner dropped a flash bang or grenade to facilitate escape, 4 or 5 copies of that prisoner would spawn and begin a fight. This has been identified and removed.
--Message to indicate 1000 caps has been accepted and 150 will be returned when surviving soldiers are sent back to base has been properly updated from its previous 500 cap amount (1000 caps were actually being removed but old message stated only 500 cap deposit was taken).
This mod has been tested with the Marts Mutant Mod and also with the ASU save game system. Both continually use FOSE and they seem to work together without nuisance.
However, when RTS Real Time Settler was introduced, it shares the same command key as Enclave Commander. Suggest change Command key to a different letter using the EC- Options found under the Aid section of the inventory..
RTS Settler also makes use of other custom keys mapped on the keyboard and has its own auto save system like ASU and unexpected lockups occurred. With RTS removed, these lockups disappeared. I suggest locating all the custom keys for RTS and writing them down.
It is quite possible RTS without ASU will work (untested) but there are other conflicts with the Brahmin cows because of MMM. RTS seems to work with Enclave Commander No free Ride just fine (use the solders to guard your people while you are away from your village).
Moreover, with RTS, one should catalog the FOSE mods and custom keys they use ie Sharing and Caring Companions has a command key as well, selected when one first installs the mod. It is noted RTS has its own scheme for acquiring villagers. Enclave Commander - No Free Ride can be an interesting asset.
Untested with other mods such as Fallout Wanderers Edition.
To update mod from any previous version to 1.5
If you just remove the other Enclave Commander files and overwrite, it should work. In play-testing I updated the mod numbers of times on the same few saved games and the changes took effect without losing my stuff in the vertibird. Have a recent saved game such as the vertibird interior created in case you have trouble re-entering it on upgrade.
If the new options are not showing up, use the below method to clean save:
1. call the Vertibird transport:
a. get all your stuff out of the lockers if you have any there (or lose it otherwise),
b.Leave Vertibird save the game, exit
c.uncheck the mods Enclave Commander Steel.esm and Enclave Commander -no free ride in FOMM (both mods may not be present),
d. load game, resave, quit
e.delete the mods Enclave Commander Steel.esm and Enclave Commander -no free ride in FOMM or direct from from data folder
f. add new version of Enclave Commander -no free ride.esm to data folder
g. check the mods Enclave Commander Steel.esm in FOMM,
h.Load last save, Enclave Commander will re-initialize and new features Enclave Commander items will be available. Talk to the vertibird pilot for purchase of new items if wanted.
==========================
Release 1.4
--Fixed where even all prerequisites are met, equipping Outcast armor did not allow a selection of their troop type.
Detailed changes
After some play testing, it was decided the troops were too cheap. They have been increased to 1000 bottle caps to call in, up from 500, 200 a troop, 150 you get back per each if you return them to base. As with the original mod, troops come in squads of 5.
--The Veritibird pilot now sells some unusual items at a most 'reasonable' price. Look over the list and try them out in-game. If you would like to see anything added, to this list drop me a comment and I will look it over. Custom items have to be already operational in a mod and permitted for other use in other mods for inclusion consideration.
--if you "search" any of your dead, they will disappear as usual, but now if you have a camera in your inventory, you will automatically use it to create a brief "hologram letter of condolence." This hololetter can be loaded into the vertibird computer for a chance at compensation for your care and concern.
There is a small chance of the camera breaking after use, so if you have other plans for the camera, do no risk searching your dead (they cannot be looted anyway). To clear the battlefield of your dead automatically without searching, use the command "DOUBLETIME my location," and presumably, your troops would have disposed of the fallen before arriving at your location. NOTE you have to be in the same cell for "DOUBLETIME my location" to work.
Some mods alter the power armor so you cannot change the troop type even though you have all the prerequisites and think you are wearing the correct armor. Or maybe you have some unique faction power armor (Lyons for example will not work). Talk to the vertibird pilot, he has the right items for sale, again at a most "reasonable" price (with respect to rarity mods the power armor will not be available for sale in the list until you have the faction prerequisites).
.
===========================================
Release 1.3
Now a stand alone ESM.
Adds more 'lore" elements to make Enclave Commander No Free Ride a logical part of the game world as the result activities by the Wasteland Legionnaire Continuum. They see to it you obtain the Enclave Command radio and as long as you have the caps, they are willing to supply Enclave Prospects. These apparently are Enclave wannabees who hire on with the Wasteland Legionnaires to gain experience. If they survive, presumably, they will move on to be Enclave trainees. Other factions are also involved with some of their recruits, to include the Reilly's Rangers, but prerequisites are required before they will let you send for them.
===========================================
Release 1.2
Code updated for prisoners to correct a condition where some former prisoner NPCs may still be still non-hostile to the player after re-spawning back into the game. If you run across one of these NPCs and you wish to correct the situation, use the Subdue Baton as described below:
Subdue Baton added to your inventory and is a weapon. If a low health NPC is struck with it they can be "captured." They will assume the position and can be interacted with via the Prisoner Interaction menu accessed by the G command key. This is useful in cases where an NPC is panicked yet is not actually attempting to flee the area. You can strike them with it and mercifully "capture" rather than just kill them (to avoid the situation where they recover and come after you)...NPC's captured and interacted with via the Prisoner Interaction Menu should revert back to their former behavior once respawned.
NOTE: Some players may prefer to use the Mezz or Mesmotron methods (not covered here).
Invulnerable vertibird no longer supported since you can just dismiss it easily with the G key. If you land in a hot-zone, SAVE, immediately, re-enter the vertibird and go elsewhere.

----------------------------
Errata
J3X mentioned in a very old post he might have thought "additem" was causing CTDs under certain circumstances. In this mod that probably refers to---a token(for Kill tracking) and ear or finger are added to the killed creature /person. With power armor victims in particular, this may cause a reproducible CTD .
Removing the XP parts of the script seems to take care of it. Since it seems odd I get fingers and XP for what my men do (its THEIR kill), I do not mind this omission from the mod.
