Bug Description

Ever sent Yuri after an MCV? Well, once the MCV is under your control, you can deploy it like it was your own. The moment you do so, the MindControl link is broken, but the building will remain under your control...

Easy approach, I could just make the MCV ImmuneToPsionics, which would be fitting, since the building is immune too (VS regular Yuri). But there is a potential multitude of situations in mods where there are deployable units that should be controllable, both as vehicles and buildings, such as a deployable Artillery, for example. Thus, hard approach, I'm askin' wether you could fix that and make MindControl links 'stick' to a unit after deployment.

You CAN mind-control Construction Yards in unmodded YR (soft-coded)
You CAN'T deploy mind-controlled MCVs (hard-coded), so don't know where you get the 'loses mind-control links' thing from (unless you're actually talking about mine layers)

There is a bug that causes an IE if an MCV goes neutral.

For what you want, pd would have to fix the above bug as well as soft-code the "mind-controlled things cannot be un/deployed" thing.

You can, I've done it, once the MCV is moved/undeployed it becomes yours, even if the Yuri Prime dies.

I'd like this logic to work, alongside the "mind control inside an IFV" logic.

What are you talking about?
Mind-controlled MCVs can't be deployed and mind-controlled ConYards can't be undeployed. At least, not with 1.001.

I've done it on both 1.000 and 1.001

all you do is mind control it with a YP, and try to move it like a vehicle, it'll undeploy, sever the Mind control link, and become yours.

Can't implement until definitive documentation of current behavior is done.

I can confirm that the mc'd mcv CAN deploy into the conyard, after which it reamains under "conqueror", while mc unit is free "to look for new friends" :)

I can second that.

What about Simple Deployers? Do they lose the MC link as well?

Issue will be of lower priority if re-opened.
