Is there a way we can have the "The Infernal Machine" custom game start, start out on something like an abandoned station instead of a colony with a faction? after all the flare at the start says "You have managed to unearth the wreckage of the Infernal Machine, spending your fortunes to repair the hull and bring it online as your own flagship." It wouldn't really make sense to have a really build-up colony(granted it runs in the red most of the time).
Given that it also talks about you plotting your revenge on Kanta and how most factions don't like you, if you spend all your fortune repairing such a giant ship wouldn't it make more sense if the starting point was like an abandoned space station orbiting a random average planet(like a barren world or something like that)
I love the ship and the premise of that start but it feels easier than starting out with a single frigate at war with everyone but pirates or most other "hard" starts and just makes it feel less of a "trying to crawl back up while fighting to survive and take revenge" and more of a "sort out your planet while doing bounties and surveys and colonize some more until you get enough wealth incoming where in the first year of play you got your ship fully fixed and it's a beast that almost no one can compete with" I know that the start is mostly a simple thing made for it but honestly i do hope that it might get some more love and make it feel harder than how easy it is right now.
Besides that, i absolutely do love the ship designs that this mod adds
Honestly, I wish the way to create quests was easier in this game as the Infernal Machine's quest to hunt down the clues to find the ship crashed on the planet/adrift in an asteroid belt and then bringing it back to a station where you then try to lay low while funneling materials and credits into repairing the thing and defending the station from pirates and others once they find out about what you are doing and if you succeed being able to fly the ship and then take the fight to them would be such a nice start to a playthrough after all after your revenge is done then what, what do you do now with your freedom and no real goal.
But maybe some day that will be a thing but for now I will just hope to have the start of the custom start have us start out on an abandoned station or something of that nature if possible at all.
